varsity ,Football Diapers 'l' TOMMY CLARKSON fCapfa.f2'1zJ, C, Right End TOMMY takes football as seriously as skipping Class. Very few of the players were able to follow the example set for them by their Captain. CBegimzmg at Top of CHD VERNON AUSBAND, C, End VERNON played an excellent game throughout the season at end. His tackling can hardly be surpassed and, when it comes to catching passes, he is right there. We wish him luck next year. JACK BROWN, C, Halfback MISH BROWN was one of the hardest-hitting backs in high-school football. If a yard or two was needed for first down, Jack was the one who carried it for the needed distance. He also holds a record for kicking field goals. CHARLIE COUCH, Tackle CHARLIE is an all-around player. He always works hard, and can tackle like a veteran. CHARLIE has been indispensable to the team this year. BYRD CRAYTON, C, Left End TOOTIE, ex-captain of the 1920 team, and one of the star ends of the 'Twenty-One team, won much praise for the ability he showed in break- ing through the interference and getting the tackle. HTOOTIEH goes to Davidson next year with his saxophone and football record. We are counting on him to make as fine a record there as he has left at Charlotte High School. WILLARD KEERANS, C, Halfbac-If BABY KEERANS played his position as no one else could. He was noted for his broken-field running. An appreciation of his ability and leadership was shown by electing him captain of the 1922 team. Luck to you, KEERANS.,' May you lead old C. H. S. to the championship of North Carolina. GEORGE LOWE, C, Center LOWE played a great game at center this year. Though he is not very heavy, he always played a wonderful defensive game. Oh, we are not likely to forget the way he stopped the opponents. GARRETT MOREHEAD, C, Giuamcl HTUBBYH played his third year of football this season. Though as big as ever, when a yard or two is needed to put the ball across the line, just call on HTUBBYH and he will deliver the goods. SAM MCNINCH, Tackle SAMMY is a superb player. If you want a hole made in the oppo- nents' line, just call on him-he'll make it. As he is only a Junior, SAM will be back on the team next year. iii, in it , l A r u i i x 1 Mil

HOWDY NORRIS, C, Fullback UHOWDYU came to us from Akron, and if he was as good up there as he is here, we know' they miss him. When We were on the five-yard line, and it was the last down, if HOWDY were called on, we could' count on a touchdown. STEVE PARTRIDGE, Halfbaclc HSTEVIEH is a little light, but that doesn't keep him from being one of Charlotte High School's best football players. He is a hard tackle, and a plucky fellow all the time. DOUGLAS SCHILTZ, C, Qua'rterbaclc DUKE was the lightest quarterback in the high-school circles, but weight made little difference to him. DOUG, as we define it, means nerve, speed, and grit. Take a look at him. Can't you remember seeing him look this way after being chased across the bars to the last white line? We believe he was thinking about a little girl on the sidelines when he was running. MACLEAN SINCLAIR, C, Tackle MAC has shown up well at his tackle position. As everybody re- members, he saved the day for us in the Hamlet game. We hope he will do as well at Davidson next year. RALPH SMITH, C, End SCHMITTY,,' as he is known throughout football circles, is one of the fastest ends in the State, and when it comes to pulling down passes, he is on the job. He will be with us next year, and we knowf he will make a fine record. ROBERT WALKER, C, Guard KID WALKER, playing his first year on the Varsity, did wonderful work during the season both at guard and at tackle. One of the papers said that WALKER was a hard nut for the opponents to crack. He was an exceedingly strong factor on the defense. PAUL WHITLOCK, C, Guard LITTLE WHIT, as he is known throughout High School, played his first year for Charlotte High this season. He was very strong on both defense and offense. Although rather lazy in the classroom, he was very quick on the field. We hope to see WHIT'S name on the all-State team of 1922. EDWARD WILSON, C, Qaafrtcrrbacllz HSHORTYH WILSON ran the team in great style, and the way he out- generaled his opponents was really uncanny. We shall always remember ED for the splendid playing he did in the Winston game.
