V C7119 E-HAS:-1i.1c:-1-11' ofa I 9 DAN SALKELD Dan proved himself worthy of being captain of the 1928 Eagles, Sally was Chosen as All-State end be- cause of his ability to snatch passes and on his defen- sive and offensive work at end. He held down his part of the line an if life depended on it. and when it was time to charge the opposing line. he put all he had into the effort. J. B. NEELY .l. B. is a transfer from Waco. He is popular with his team mates and feared by his opponents. He was one of the factors in the Eagle march to State Cham- pionship in that he was always able to do a little mort- than was required of him. yn... an JOHN DANIEL John. who 'has lettered twice. has been one of the steadiest men in the line during the last two years. His position was end. and it took a mighty good man to circle .lohn's end. ,lohn will not get In play for Abilene next year. hut he will he remembered as an athlete who did his part during the Eagle march for the Stale Championship. COMER BURTON Although Comer played only Iwo years with the Eagles. he made a name for himself as a tackle. His ability to open holes in the opposing line often gained his mates a chance for Sensational runs. r L- A-ef Q l 2 4 P Wise 'R -,nfk . ' , q4,:2737i 'WA. . -.

V C7hQ FLASHLIGHT ofa I 9429 V PERRY BARBER Perry completed his second successful year with the Eagles as guard, He was heavy and fast-charging, and was usually found in the middle of every play. It can be said of Perry that he was a guard that guarded. Perry was a real Eagle fighter. and his graduation will leave a gap in the line. ELVA BAKER Baker. an All-District man. who is noted for the size of the holes he tears in the opposing line. will he back next year to fill up a big hole in the line. His driving power and dexterity are his noticeable cliarav- teristics. Elva is one of the real guards that showed up this year. KENNETH BENTLEY Jake played his first year with the Eagles. He was a fast and hard-hitting end. and few times did the opposition gain around his position. More than once did he throw an opposing player for the loss ot several yards. Jake played his best game against Amarillo. TRUETT BARBER Although Truett was light, he made up for this by his fighting spirit and his ability to eliarge through and smear plays of the opposing team. Truett was one of the hardest Fighters on the- team and dial mueli toward helping the Eagles win Slate Championship. He will be missed by his lealtl-IDHICS and fellow students.
