So sayeth not Skinner, He is one of the few mortals who serves successfully two masters. The First and best known is football. That he does this justice, no one questions. The second, and ifpossible greater, is his appetite. That he does this justice, no one who knows him can question. To LA NDQEHJ Toward the end of the season Toland became quite a familiar sight on the field, and his black cap, though hardly serviceable as a headgear, did very well to mark him from the other members of the team. All through the season Toland gave a good example of hard playing and good sportsmanship. GARRETT-f'uamf and fafklz' An injured hand kept Carrett out of several games that he would have other- wise been in. But when he was in there could be no doubt that he knew h's game. Plenty of experience made him 1 very valuable player. Garrett s favor- ite occupation between games was to Hy airplanes. Moom -Bark It is universally granted that if any other player had as big feet as Baxter he might have '1 chance of equalling him in kicking. But then players who wear a Number IO shoe are rare.This eel-hipped runner s specialty was not to be where the opposing tackle expected him to be. Baxter also made more non-scoring touch- downs than anw other man in this part of the state. 4,-gy i S 'S Q f E 5 1 as lllllllhu llhlllllllllllllllll llllllllllll Illl Illl Illlllllll lhl E if lilllllllllllllllllllllllllll Illl E 92 ... 5 llli Ulllllllllllll lllillllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllll 'lllllllllll l llllllllll Lllllll llll llllllll lllll li I i . .

The yell leaders were instructed to keep up a continual clamor of rah-rahsl' so that he would not doze during the game. l oots was usually the first one through the opponent's lineg not because of speed, but because nothing could stop him. S U 1. 1.1 VA N'-Ct'7lfl'7' For some unknown reason Clabber seemed to think he was good and always succeeded in making the stands agree. And when it comes to shooting the ball where you want it and getting your man, too, Sully is all right! Besides being center he holds the unoFl'icial injury champion- ship for high schools. He must play too hard! XX . HAI.L.AQ Dzflelz' and Guard Willie used all his mental as well as physical talents in the game. He would don his nose guard screw up his face tear holes in his socks and rush out on to the field like a charging rhinoceros. Those few opposing players who doubt- ed his viciousness soon found out that his bite was as bad as his bark. DE1.ERY-Bark Red has one striking advantage over the ordinary back besides the com- bination of weight speed and strength. His hair dazzles the other players and puts them off their guard. Perhaps this explains how he was able to get through a supposedly iron-clad line. He did it anyway! - f .1 f 1 fe- 1 X X I . L ' I .

Al Jfietwwoa ' -v J la 1 E S E 5 I E E E E E E JOH Ns'ro N-Bdfk lVIurray's biggest fault was that he went so fast that he not only puzzled the opposing team but our team also. When on ordinary dry land, he is quite a respectable young man, but when he was in a game he fought and ran from the first whistle to the last. The game over, he was once again the plain, peace- able Murray. PUTNAM-End Just where and when Diana origi- nated, just why he happened to be out of jail during the football season, and just how he managed to get into Central are vague uncertainties, but his grace in covering kicks and catching passes was a sight for sore eyes. He has even been known to go through the motions of a swan dive and still retain the ball. A'rcH1soN-End and Bark Charlie played end and back on the team and took a fiendish delight in muti- lating the opposing play ers. He has been known to tackle an adversary just to hear him grunt! Charlie was also an expert on some of the practice exercises and would be a good Charlestoner if he were bold enough. Dicxiai-Guard Dickey s cardinal virtues are in his hair. That such a youngster should be playing high school football comes as quite a shock but what Red lacks in years he makes up for in size and ambi- tion. He hopes to become an all-state tackle some day and he has the courage of his convictions.
