JOSEPH SHARON, Half-back “Joe” possessed a happy capacity for crossing up the opposition on end runs. This was perhaps his outstanding achievement. With this ability, combined with an unusual speed, he was able to make long end runs against every oppos- ing team. As a forward passer he got away with some long and accurate passes. Against a forward passing attack Joe was perhaps the outstanding player of the local squad in breaking up the play. In the final Modoc game he was used as safety man and returned punts for an important gain of yards. CLYDE VERNON, Half Back Vernon was another fast man. He was Sharon's running mate with an equal speed and ability to carry the ball. His best game was a wide end run that gave him an opportunity to use his speed. He shone particularly in the Susan- ville game where he gained many yards. In this game he also handled the kicking end of the game getting his punts away for a good yardage and converting one touchdown. In the first Modoc game he recovered fumble on the Alturas thirty-yard line and carried it over the goal line for a touchdown. This was Vernon’s last year of high school football. EDWARD FELION, Full Back “Toots” played a strong game in every encounter. As an offensive player he made many smashing line bucks. Whenever a few yards was needed to gain a first down he could be depended upon. In addition he was valuable in running interference. This was particularly true in the Susanville game when he dropped opposing tacklers with remarkable regularity. Defensively he showed an unusual strength in backing up the line. He graduates this year and his absence from the line-up will be sorely felt. [Twenty-seven]
