L....,-.- -v---w---q....r --Y f W' Sidney C-oodwm, Paducah, Texas, Left Half. Sid, the star of the Panhandle, was the subject of much com- ment during the football season. Some of the comments were: l'd rather run against a brick wall than that Good- win. Let a mule kick me rather than for him to tackle me,', and, I-le could kick that ball out of sight if he wanted to. Such came from the sidelines. l-le is without doubt the best player in the Panhandle and few surpass him in the state. The team was built around him and when C. C. wanted a gain they called on him. He holds the state record on drop kicking, his punts going so far, his own men hate to run them down, and no one knows just how far he can pass the pill. Let us hope he will wear the C another ,t year. SIDNEY GOODWIN. Buford Parmer, Hereford, Texas, Right Half. Booz- ern ex-captain of the.eleven, was the invincible man! of the backfielcl. We believe he can stop more men than any other man in the Panhandle. When he held for downs. Booz-ex' -was called on and the opposing line melted where he hit, I-lis line plunging and end runs are known and dreaded thruout the Panhandle. Boozer starred in those deadly struggles of the Roswell and Wayland games. Time after time he plowed their whole defense, rolling them back as we marched down the field for that inevitable touch-down.. We certainly regret that he cannot be with us another :season but we are confidently expecting to see Parmer wear- ing the T at the close of next year. BUFORD PARMER Marion Clary, Paducah, Texas, Full Back. Huge 106 MARION CLARY. is a man when it comes to football. He has weight and speed enough to put opponents at a distance, if he ever gets headed for the goal. At line plunging he is a ram and few are in his class on end runs. When he came down the field his opponents either got out of the way or were taken out. He could grab that pass and his opponents hated for him to getsa chance at one. l-le was a hard tackler and could break up interference like it was a lifetime pursuit. We hope l-luge Cheezyn will return next year. We need him.

C-ribbleg Coach comes from Southwestern Uni- versity, where he received two years of training, winning the record of being. one of the truest sports of Southwestern. He first proved his success as a coach by putting out a very successful team for Cherokee College. ' Coach, you have beyond a doubt drilled the true spirit of sportsmanship into eleven men and thru them set the standard of football in the Panhandle, and won a record for Clarendon College the like of which she has never boastf ed before. Your kind, congenial spirit and winning person- ality have been more help in winning the Championship of the Panhandle than any other thing. Clarendon College and all her contestants recommend you as being a Christian gentleman and the truest type of college man and wish for you and your squad the same success you have enjoyed in the past season. we ' . .1 -fp .

'iToughy has had enough football training to give him the qualities of a captain. He is in every respect a true sport as every one against whom he has played will tell you, but they -know he hits hard and tackles even harder. He is a man who always used his head, and when Clarendon was in a tight place, they never feared, those men in grey, for they trusted Toughy. When he called men they were always ready to respond, for they say Acker knew best. On the field he handled his men well, they came and went at his command. He always had a smile that would cheer some straggling player,-it is to that mlqoughy smile that we attribute much of our success. We are proud to an- nounce that he intends to be with C. C. another year. CLIFFORD ACKER. S 1.- ......,., ...., Q s.......1iifii i', f,.ff ffl ,..,, ff ..,,, QI ...,. ffff..ff,ff.ff..Q.f,fff ', ' .... - . ,, i' ..,., ' flffm' QS? S NWC?

Frank l... Raney, Higgins, Texas, Left Guard. Par- son is one of the best line men in the Panhandle. one that plays his part and well. When his opponents rushed for Parson it was a favorite ruse of his to step aside and go on thru, often throwing the enemy for a loss. When our opponents fumbled we knew that Dryweather would be there to pick it up. We would never have had the line we did had it not been for Hparsonf' Tho the Goodnight man insulted Rany's mouth with his foot he played only the harder. He is now the proud wearer of the C and will get another if he comes back next year. FRANK -L. RANEY. Fred Thompson, Mclaean, Texas, Left Tackle. Fl-ompii was one of the hardest hitting tacklers that ever came on a Panhandle gridiron. Any team would be glad to have him and indeed Clarendon was, for his hard playing won many laurels for old C. C. In the Wayland game he forced his way thru the seemingly irresistable, blocking a punt and legally getting C. C. a touchdown. He was a clean sport on all of his playing. When his teammates saw Thomp's smile and that determined expression they knew that business was stirring on left tackle. Fred has won his C and all are proud of such a man wearing it. FRED THOMPSON. WALTER CARPENTER. Walter Carpenter, Matador, Texas. Carp was the tackle, that was never known to let a man thru his side of the line: and tore a hole like a sixteen inch gun when the signal that touched his fuse was called. l'-le had a peculiar way of tackling around the neck and just wouldn't grab any other wayg whether this has been a habit all his life or came from practicing on different occasions, is known only to Carp. Butthat matters not, he always downed his man and he did it uright now. On the defence he was on the job again, and after C. C's opponents tried old Carpis side of the line a, few plunges, they took to the other side, for they found him solid. HIT
