OXQ D I lie Bulldogs had a great grid season this year. Out of a total of nine games played, with the best schools in the state, the Bulldogs won se en, losing to Homer 6-3, and to Patterson 6-0. The Patterson game was a great upset because the Bulldogs were really three or four touchdowns better than Patterson. I he forward pass was the best ground gainer for the Bulldogs. “Redus Day to Charlie Aby,” was the explanation for many Bulldog touchdowns. Aby. right end, Redus Day, fullback, and Louis Harrell, halfback, made Harry Martinez’s All-State team. The letter men were: Capt. Max Keller, R. Day. L.

Our Bulldogs CAPTAIN MAX KELLER—Max was the best quarterback in the state in 1923-’24. His injury, received in the Hammond game, kept him cut for the rest of the season and his loss was keenly felt by the entire team. CAPTAIN W. H. TILLMAN (l925-’26)—‘Tatty is a great tackle and will lead .he Bulldogs to victory next year. He made Pitcher’s all-State team at guard. LAVERN DAY—Lavern was cne of the best centers in the state in 1924 25, although he was a onc-ycar man. He will strengthen “ Tommy’s” l925-’26 stone wall considerably. LLOYD GILL— Spark-plug” was a whip at guard and very few guards in the State were his equal. Gill finishes this year. LOVICK WREN Dove played guard this season and played havoc with enemy plays over his side of the line. LYNWOOD CARPENTER—“Sheik” played tackle on the team and was a capable running mate for Tillman. They are a pair of aces at the tackle positions and both will return next year. Cl IARLES ABY—Charles was an all-State end and the fastest man in State Prep circles. Aby and Redus Day made opposing teams sec the value of having a good defense for the forward pass. Charles made a 98 yard run against Morgan City after receiving a lateral pass from Day. CHARLES REDDY Reddy was a little stick of dynamite at right end. He stopped them all in their tracks. Charles graduates in May. WADE RANDOLPH—“Jada” filled Max’s shoes in fine style for a new man at the quarterback position. He will be a demon in l925-’26. LAWRENCE HARRELL Spec lived up to his family name and was the fastest halfback on the squad. He will be back in l925-’26. RHEA FLYNN— Porky” was a great little ground gainer in I924 ’25, and his good work caused considerable comment. He will also be back in l925-’26. BERTRAM BABERS Bert was the strong man of the team and the best punter in the State. In the Homer game he averaged 59 yards in 10 punts. He played half back and guard. Bert finishes in May. LOUIS HARRELL— Tec Tec or “Bullet” was the T. N. 1. of the team in l924-’25. This little half-back will bear watching in l925-’26. REDUS DAY— Hero filled the full-back position for the Bulldogs and he made the all-State team of the New Orleans States as the reward. Day was the tosscr of the forward pass to Aby and Flynn, and his equal in that line has not been seen in the whole State. His work in line plunging and backing up the line was exceptionally goed, and was the cause of much comment in football circles. This triple-threat man will not be seen in ihc Bulldog’s line-up again as he finishes this year.
