FOOTBALL LETTERMEN GLYNN fSCRAPPYl WARREN, Guard A player who could be relied upon to buck up his side of the forward wall was Glynn Warren. Scrappy lived up to his name by his ability to retain his peppy and scrappy spirit throughout the game. A. H. S. is lucky to have this type of player to fight for her two more years. HucH KSKEETJ PRESTON, End Skeet was a three-fold player-swift, shifty, and Hheightyf' Having hawk eyes, Hugh rarely let a man slip by him. He was always a-rarin' to go. He's another senior whose shoes will be hard to fill next year. ALBERT CABJ MANRIQUEZ, Fullback In spite of stiff competition, Albert earned a berth on the first team. Ab was one of two freshmen to receive a football Steady and speedy, Ab was one of those valuable, fearless line-plungers so necessary for a winning team. IOHN QIOHNNIEJ LEw1s, Halfback Iohnnie, a veteran of three seasons, has played his last game of football for Atlantic high school. His worth to the team was measured by his long punts and flashy ball-toting. Grabbing passes out of mid-air or in the midst of the enemy was Iohnny's strong suit. He'll be greatly missed next year. GEORGE fPEzoJ LANG, Tackle Alertness and consistency are two qualities describing Lang. Pezo was one of those players who works quietly but expertly, the kind of player who contributes to the perfect running order of the team machine. Next year we'll see George up and at 'em again. DONALD fARBIEl AUEREACH, Center Arbie was a versatile little player: not only could he snap the ball back from center perfectly, but he could also shift and fill the guard position. Ready for anything, Arbie always did his best and got results. A. H. S. can count on his as a good man for next year. WILLARD fERGIEl ERGENBRIGHT, End This year Ergie made everyone sit up and take notice. On punts Ergie ran down the field like a streak of lightning. When it came to turning in end runs, Bill couldn't be beaten. His height and shiftiness coupled with the ole fight make Bill an outstanding prospect for next year. DALE fARCHIEl LYNCH, Quarterback This elusive little quarterback showed some great football ability. Archie is small and light but fast and slippery. He slips past and between his opponents before they hardly realize he's among them. For two more years Archie will be battling for Atlantic High. I9 M0 63 fr! 0 CM Q I f tl A cl' lv in 5 g .

FOOTBALL LETTERMEN MAURICE fSTRITTl STRITTMATTER, Tackle Because he was such a reliable player, Stritt has been a big help to the Black and Gold gridsters. Stritt's motto is up and take 'emu and he lives up to it. Next year Stritt will be back tackling for Atlantic. WILLIAM fBILLl SPARR, Tackle Although this was the first year that Sparr played at Atlantic, he made a name for himself. His size and fierceness made him a formidable foe. Part of the season a lame shoulder kept him out of the battles. Bill is another senior who will be missed. CLAUDE fBABEl OAKES, Center Another versatile man is Babe Oakes. After he, playing center, had snapped the ball back swiftly and accurately for half the season, he was shifted to the guard position. Here Babe broke through the opposing lines and tackled the ball-carriers in their tracks. Babe, who has been playing with the regulars for two years, will leave a gap in the line when he graduates this spring. PHIL ANDERSON, End One of the freshmen to receive a football A this year was Phil Anderson. Phil played an excellent game, both offensively and defensively. Phil fought with all his might and played for the love of the game. His muscular strength will be a great asset in future contests. VALLIE PELLETT, Guard Vallie was one of Atlantic's best line men. With his weight, size, and his eagle eyes, Vallie terrorized opposing elevens. Lucky was the man who broke through Vallie's close guarding. The 1932 season will see Vallie as one of Atlantic's strongest fighters. ROLLIN fSHEIKl SCHULER, Halfback Sheik seems to have had all the qualities that go to make an excellent back- field man. He could grab passes, tackle on the defense, block on the offense, and punt. Most of the games saw Rollin acting as signal-caller. In his think- ing, speed and accuracy were on a level. Rollin will be one of the most con- spicuous players next year. FRANK GusKE, End The football career of Guske was extraordinary. This, Franks senior year, was his first year as a football warrior. Guske attracted attention and earned his A because of his ability to break down interference and to catch passes anywhere and anytime. A. H. S. wishes Frank were going to battle again next year. DONALD lDoNl SMILEY, End How to go down under opposing interference to tackle his man was an art that Don knew by heart. Smiley was always right in there messing up the enemy's plays. Then when it came to offensive play, he cleared paths like lightning. Unfortunately, serious injuries kept him out of the line-up most of the season, but Atlantic High has two more years to watch Don's playing. RONALD QHUNKJ ANDERSON, Guard Another cog in the great machine known as the football team was Hunk Anderson. This fighting, hard-hitting guard did his best to make the course of the machine smoother and swifter. Ron played for the whole team and with his whole heart in the game. Hunk is another gridster who has played his last game for Atlantic high school. 21 K ' 1' vv, MI. DQ CD23 X M Q3 I VDAG' 5 I C 4- , I K f X lf J X Oo N!-N670 ffm
