They ,hit Chubby's side of the line once or twice and then sought elsewhere. This is Chubby's last year, and his shoes will be hard to fill. He should make a valuable man for some college. Selected by his teammates as leader in his last year, this powerful lineman served well in the capacity and was a constant factor in spurring his team throughout a brilliant season. The absence of Chesney next year will be greatly appreciated by R.-W.'s rivals. On the gridiron, but will leave a gaping hole in both offense and defense of the Scarlet and Gray. CAPTAIN-ELECT ALDEN WHITE- Bus,' was one of the most brilliant tackles that ever donned a scarlet and gray jersey. He was a tower of strength on both offense and defense. Bus never gets excited and thinks before he acts. Bus's side of the line is as hard to get through as a. barbed wire fence and he disappoints his op- ponents by tackling them for repeated losses. He is fast and shifty and We are expecting plenty from Bus. He received a berth as tackle on the third all-state team, and we know that next year he will be hard to keep off the all-state team. GERALD DEBAR- Jerry didn't go out for football until his senior year, yet in that short time he played in enough games to earn his letter. He had plentyof opposi- tion at the tackle posts subbing for Captain Myers and Captain-elect White, two of the greatest tackles ever produced at R.-W., although his lack of experience cut down his ability as a football player. He also played end and his great height help- ed him catch passes. THURMAN IKE HORNOR graduates but he is leaving a flock of inspiring memories with his teammates and many friends. He had everything a great halfback needs except size, and this handicap was always forgotten both by himself and his op- ponents. For Ike, like Napoleon, nothing was impossible, no yards too hard to gain or burly ball toter too fast or huge to pull down. He was one of the most con- sistent and dependable athletes ever to don the scarlet and gray, and in every game he hurled his one hundred forty pounds again and again at the opposition, never slowing up a second. The credit Ike received was earned and one wonders when and where we will ever find another little bundle of nerve and muscle who will cavort over local gridirons as successfully and effectively as he did. JOE TERANGO-This is Joe's third year as a regular on the Red and Gray team. He was one of the most flashy backs in the state the past season. He carried the brunt of the offense by throwing passes and running the ends and tackles for long gains. Joe was a menace to all opponents because of his great ability of evading opposing linemen. He never received the ball on the kickoff and on punts the opponents kicked the ball to the side because of his reputation of running the ball back. Joe knocked down and intercepted many passes and helped hold our opponents scoreless. His name was on the Honor Roll for all-state selection for two years and should make the all-state 'backfield next year. Page Fifiy-five
