Football Squad J oe Edd y4 lVIentality -Tackle Joe was a valuable man to the squad, being both a good tackle and blocker. His tireless energy and never-ceasing chcerfulness made him an inspiration to all his teammates. Frank Gilham- G0ldbrick -Back The great f'find of the season, Goldbrick was continually the fifth man in the oponents' backneld. A fine blocker and a good line-backer, he will have a chance next year to display further the ability he has already proved, .lack Ross- Proud -Back One of the smallest men on the squad, Jack's speed and fighting spirit gave him the ability to gain a letter. Proud will be back next year to add that needed pu'nch in thc backfield. James Mosley-t'Luty -Back Luty was the spark plug for the Bruins during the entire sea- son and was elected to the all- statc second team. Grizzly fans who were on hand for the Russell- ville game will long' remember his gallant leadership in the Grizzlies' 14-12 victory. Jack Gammill- WVhiskers', Tackle Jack could always be counted on to do his best and his best was enough to make him a good tackle. He is fast and tough. Opposing tackles looked for a hard game from Whiskers'l-and got it. EDDY GILHAM GAMMILL ROSS MOSLEY
