xg . r , ex, -'H-so Ts ' ' ' rjifexf ii The Rhododendron - FE-T gf gi? , V 113 ELLIS CORLEY Ellis is a sophomore and one of the light weights of the team. But what he lacked in weight and experience, he made up in punch. He has the build for a good sized boy and looks good for two more years. PATTON YOUNG Rocky played his first year of football as one of the quarterbacks. This is a difficult position on any team, but for an inexperienced quarterback on an inexperienced team the road is just like Rocky's nickname. Nevertheless, he ran the team in good fashion, and was one of the best ground gainers when he toted the ball. He, too, is a junior. n JAMES BRYANT Tucky',, only a sophomore and small, alternated at quarterback with Young. He, ton, was in his first year at football but displayed much potential ability. If he only grows a little he would make a whiz for the next two years. KENNETH STANLEY Kenneth, another Junior, was one of the few on this year's squad who had any experience at all. Last year he subbed at guard and tackle, but this year was shifted to one of the half back positions. His strong point was in running interference. ROBERT COYNER Bob came out for his first football last fall, and made a regular out of himself. At the fullback position he was a consistent ground gainer either through the line or in broken field running. He was also good on the receiving end of a pass. He, too, has a-:other year. JACK WILBUR jack, another junior, was moved from end to the backfield. Last year he played in one or two games which was the extent of his experience. However, he proved to be the hardest running and hardest hitting back of the squad. His size, however, was against him, as he barely tipped the scales at 130. CHARLES WHITE Charley , last year's student manager, decided to try his hand at the game this year. He developed rapidly and by the close of the season was playing some gvod ball. Along with his experience he has gained some weight and looks good for the backfield next year. KEITH SHAW Keith, another sophomore, is one of the real small boys on the team. For this reason he did not see much service, but shows promise of being an expert runner and ball toter. With two more years before him he should develop into one good backfield man.

With practically no experience Red started the season on the bench, but before long he was getting regular calls to the guardposition. With his graduation goes another potential football star from active service to Buck- hannon High. CLIFFORD BAXA Clif was one of the five guards to earn his letter this year. He was handicapped by his lack of experience and weight, but was a scrappy individual. He was a willing worker and gave his best at all times. Like Ressegger, his senior year was his first year at football. DURWOOD MILLER A Dur',, another inexperienced senior, started the season as regular guard, but due to a severe ankle injury was kept out of much of the play during the last half of the season. His prospects were very good up until the time of his injury. ' YALE CANFIELD Punk started the season as a prospective center, but due to his rangy make-up and adeptness as spearing passes, he was shifted to end where he played regularly throughout the remainder of the season. He is a junior and should make a mighty good end for next year. ' BROOKS MICK Brooks had some experience from last year and had no trouble in holding down one of the tackle positions. He was an even tempered player, seldom rising much above or slumping below his average. It is to be regretted that he has gone to another school and will be lost to the Buckhannon squad for his senior year. ' JOHN WAUGH Icy played his first football this year and proved his metal. He was one of the five guards to earn their letters this year. His prospects at guard or tackle next year are good. ' BERNARD BAILEY Sheriff , although small and light, had plenty of fight and hit 'em hard . He played his first football this year and shows promise of being one of the good ends for next season. , ' HOWARD BRYANT Huck , another junior, was playing his first year of football. He took a try at most all line positions, but finally ended the season playing a good game at end. He is a hard worker and adjusts himself quickly to new positions and situations.
