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

SLOAN PUGH EADS H XRRISONI HII I Football Squad Bill Eads- Ike -End Smart, alert and powerful, 'tlke' gave added strength to a great line. He was a hard worker and a fine pass receiver who always seemed to be in the clear. Bill never gave up and was respected for his ability to give everything he had. Orville Sloan- Roughhouse Back A pleasant surprise to Bruin mentors was Sloan, who proved a valuable asset to the backfield. He is a good plunger and a fine defen- sive player. He will be back for more years of play under the Griz- zly colors. George Pugh- Stink -Guard A leading contributor to both the Bruin oifense and defense, Stink was in there to break up many of the opponents' plays throughout the season. George has the qualities of a football great, and it is too bad he won't be back next year to bolster the Bruin line. Bill Harrison- Nig --End Forecd out because of a bad knee, Bills ability earned him a letter even though he didn't finish the season. Even after being injured 'tNig carried on by helping Stu- dent Manager Claud Kell the re- mainder of the year. Vauda Hill-- Hungry -Center Hungry was one who obeyed all training rules and was respected by everyone for his ability. He could be depended upon to block when it was needed, and as a center he just didn't make bad passes. Vauda knew all the tricks and used them.
