fm -€% HUPPKE Chappell Cochrane Thomas Huppke Guard All-Southern One of the sophomore finds of the 1931 season, Huppke received All-Southern honors on a number of selections. Developing rapidly as the season wore on, Huppke finally landed a starting post. Although not built as big as guards ordinarily are, he possessed abundant strength, stamina, and fight, dealing out plenty of misery to opposing guards. Barring injuries, Huppke should make All-Southern next year without a great deal of trouble. Howard Chappell Back This Sylacauga Flash also played his initial season on the varsity eleven. Chappell ' s fleetness of foot earned for him the nickname of Streak, and it was just too bad for the opponents when he broke away into the open. Howard was one of the leading ground- gainers on the team, as well as a consistent scorer. His play was marked by his excellent broken field run- ning and punt returning. Next season should find him one of the South ' s leading backs. David M. Cochrane Back A reserve during the 1930 season. Pal displayed a reversal of form last year and finally came into his own, playing the brand of football of which he is ca- pable, earning a place on the varsity squad. A fine, hard running back, and a good tackier, Cochran spe- cialized in smashing the line, developing into a con- sistent ground-gainer. He should blossom forth in all his glory next season.

s « t KiRKLAND MOSELEY Sims B ' Ho KiRKLAND Guard Although playing his first season on the varsity squad, Kirkland often broke into the starting line-up. He gave an excellent account of himself in every game, aiding the team no little in crushing the opponents. His defensive performance was a feature of his all- around good play. Kirkland has a bright future ahead of him, and should more than make up for losses sus- tained through graduation. Frank O. Moseley Back A strong back in his Freshman year, Moseley was a hard worker and earned himself a starting position in his initial season on the varsity. Frank ' s steady per- formance throughout the year aided the Tide ma- terially. Moseley Is a hard running back, and dis- played marked ability at punting, passing, and block- ing. He will play a large part in the Crimson Tide ' s quest for supremacy in 1932. Comer Sims Guard One of the mainstays of the reserve squad hereto- fore, Sims saw plenty of action on the varsity squad last fall. A hard worker, he went about learning foot- ball in a quiet manner. When sent into a game, he always gave a creditable account of himself. Sims has another year to go, and he can be counted on to strengthen the team considerably.

Hewes Hughes DiLDY Willis D. Hewes Center Beginning the season as an unknown player, Hewes soon made the fans sit up and take notice of his fine playing. As a result he saw frequent action during the greater part of the year. Starting off as a center, Hewes displayed such marked ability at line play that he was shifted over to a tackle position where he might better and more often make use of his talents. The 1932 forward wall will be greatly strengthened by his presence. Larry G. Hughes Back Buck is another sophomore who blossomed forth into varsity material. Gifted with plenty of brawn and driving power, he made an excellent fullback, display- ing a hard-driving running form which made him dif- ficult to stop. When Cain was absent from the line- up, the task of punting fell to Hughes, and he took care of his job nicely. Much is expected from him next fall. James Dildy Tackle One of the outstanding performers on the Fresh- man squad of 1930, Dildy continued his good work as a member of the varsity. Weighing over the 200- pound mark, he made an excellent tackle, having little difficulty in opening up holes in opposing lines. Dildy should be an outstanding tackle in 1932. Willis D.
