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.

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.

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.

Football Squad Harlan Elmore- Grennie --Guard Harlan proved a great asset to the team in filling a dificult po- sition. He has qualities that help make a great football player. The Bruins can use many players like f'Grennie. He will be an even greater asset to the team next year as a senior. Claud Kell- Sorry --Manager Claud held down the position of student manager single-handed. A fast man with the tape and lini- ment, he eased the pains of many Grizzly stalwarts and gave them that added pep to go back into the game to win. Dick Gregg- Blown-Tackle One of the heaviest men on the team, Dick was a devastating tackler who was feared by every Grizzly opponent. A sixty-minute man, he had plenty of sportsman- ship and contributed much to the Bruin forward wall. He gained the admiration of both players and coaches. Vernon Barrett- Chubby Tackle Chubby was two hundred pounds of terror to every Grizzly opponent. He was a great blocker and a sure tackler. He will be back next year to fill any hole there may be in the Bruin line. Tommy Donoho- Star -Back A sophomore, Star promises to add that extra spark for Coach Thompson next year. He played a great game in the backfield, with that desire to win showing in his every move. Tommy is fast develop- ing into an outstanding back. ELMORE KELL DONOHO GREGG BARRETT
