Pat came to us this season with a great reputation derived from his playing on the St. Louis High School team the previous year, and has nobly sustained it. In 'addi- tion to his work on the defense he is an unusually hard man to stop on a line buck or end run, in spite of his light Weight. His work in the NVinston game in Charlotte and the C. M-N. A. game deserve special mention, while his playing in every game of the season was of the highest order. BEN DOAR CMH XVeight, l53. Fullback. Height, 5 ft. 5 in. Returning to school after an absence of two years DeBose'l took his place to fight for the blue and gray. Having helped. C. H. S. to win two football championships, when We tried for the third it was no fault of his that we failed. He was a hard lfightef, a fierce tackler, and brilliant receiver of passes. He was the despair of many a back-field man. Being in the play every minute of the game, he would punt and then go down and make the tackle just to keep from being idle. He was a strong factor in the Charlotte line-up. 105

May We have many ALLAN BRYAN HC' Weight, 150. Quarterback. Height 6 ft Our quarter was a man who had had a little experience, having played on the Duval High School team of acksonville Fla., for two years. He ran his team VK ell throughout the season, although he vias kept out of one or two games on account of sickness. He never lost his head no matter how much the opponent ragged him Had it not been for his coolness Charlotte s record of games won and lost Illlgllt haxe been different.

7,1110 ,Mlm 51175 BYRD CRAYTON CW CCaptainj Weight, 147. Left End. Height 5 ft. 7 in. This year Tootie', developed into one of the best ends that ever wore the G The man who could get around his end is yet to be found and the way he got down under punts was a delight to every lover of foot- ball. At catching forwards he is a bear- cat. His tackling is absolutely sure. His playing was of that steady variety that makes football teams, and promises well for his future career on the gridiron. JAMES QUERY C Left Tackle Weight, 160. Height, 5 ft. 7 in. James Query, tackle! Those three words express much. He's right there with the pep, steam, and weight. He is one of the fastest men of his weight playing high school football in North Carolina. Jimmie is sure and reliable and when he is needed he is always there. He can't be kept back as many backs know to their sorrow and especially are the Greensboro backs aware of this. We expect some day to see his name thus: James Query, All-American tackle. GEORGE LOXVE HCTU Left Tackle Weight, 129. Height, 5 ft. 8 in. George plays football. The heavier they are, the harder they fall, is his motto. George is right there when it comes to the goods for a football player. Although he did not make the first eleven, when he got in the game he was a tower of strength on the left side of Charlotte's line and many were the players of the opponents that came to grief just opposite the left tackle. He is the hardest tackler that ever came to C. H. S. and many are the men who have realized the fact from sad experience. His favorite pastime on the kick off is arguing with some one who says he will not get the tirst tackle. 106
