Gerald Alexander, Yock, plays the game at left guard with honor and credit to himself as well as the team. 4 Charles Chilton has a world of grit and endurance and much may be expected of him next year. Edward Dean joined the squad late, but was a very valuable man in the mid-season and late season games. Edward Cushman plays his position at tackle well and all have good faith in him for the coming season. Harold Pruitt, Red, is a danger signal to any ambitious half back who tries to circle his end.

He was elected captain of the team for the season of 1928 at the annual banquet given the squad by the Lions Club and Phi Delta Kappa Fraternity. John Argenson, Yonk, not very noisy, but when a mass of arms, legs, and bodies are un- tangled he can usually be seen coming from the lower regions. Harry Darnell-rather small, but Harry's speed and quick thinking make him a very val- uable quarter back. Theron Ogle plays a stellar game at center and helps to make an impenetrable line. John Hazelett is able to take care of any opposition that makes the mistake of hitting the right side of the Purple line. . Russell Bratton's line plunges are good for many yards and much is expected of him in the coming season.

Lowell Fancher, Buck, is fast, shifty, and a good ball carrier. When he receives the ball he knows what to do with it, usually advancing it toward the Purple goal. William Hill, Billy, has good speed and is one of the best half backs on the team. Great praise is due the members of the 1927 football squad. They came to Danville three weeks before school opened and worked hard for three or four hours each day under the hot September sun to give C. N. C. a winning football team. The fine spirit manifested by the men is shown by the fact that not a single man quit Who came out for the squad during the season except for injuries. Football in C. N. C. was better supported during the past season than ever before. All forces were joined to' give the Purple Warriers the support that helps to bring victory and success. Much credit is due the business men of the town for their help and loyalpsupport. It would be unjust to close this article without paying tribute to the memory of Professor Charles A. Hargrave, who was a warm friend and loyal supporter to athletics in C. N. C. To every athlete he was affectionately known as Uncle Charlie. If there were a game and he could spare the time from his many office duties, Uncle Charlie could be found at the football field. Deprived of robust health himself, he seemed to take great delight in fostering and witnessing the games that were building up the health and manhood of his students. Seventy-Eight ,ff .
