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

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

Not only was he a member of the first eleven but he was our only representative on the All-State football team. He was a hard tackler. always causing the man he hit to be in no hurry to get up. A sure play in any game was off Bob's tackle. The team will certainly miss him next year. Tomlin' CL.xRKsoN CX CC'aptain-electj NYeight, 137. Right End. Height, 5 ft. 7 in. Tail End is around here when it comes to playing football. He tackles low, clear, and hard. NVhen an end run is made around his end the man that makes it has some good interference. Many a time he entertains himself by dumping the interference and then getting the man with the ball. Tommy was laid out of two games with a bad knee, but he made up lost time when he went in again. He was elected captain of the team of '22 and herels luck to him and his fol- lowers. GARRETT MOREHEAD CM Left Guard Weight, 150. Height, 5 ft. 7 in. Tubby,' looks slow in a football game. but you'd be surprised. He makes it a point to get in every play no matter where it 1s. He doesn't know what it means to let a man go by. He is a hard and clean tackler -never hits above the knees. After he hits a man twice in a game a new man is needed. When he is set to break up a play 116. IS unmovable. He has two more years at high school and should develop into a wonder- fully live man. -1 107
