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

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.

--,-+. Robert Sone, Hagerman, N. M., Center. Young Man was around hereu when it came to passing the pig- skin. He passed it to the right man at the right time. He was a good man when it came to stopping them. He could block the whole line if he had to. His opponents could hardly put one over him and often he intercepted passes at critical times, saving his team many yards. The backfield say they never worried when Robert passed the pill for it always came to the right place. He intercepts the forward passes of his opponents for amusement. We are sorry to ROBERT SONE. Asahel McNabb, Vega, Texas, Right End. nlshabelln was one of the most persistent players on the team. He was one of the lightest men on the team but what he lacked in weight he made up in nerve and work. He was fast on his feet and had no superior when it came to grabbing long passes. Ishmael was also a good man on the line and when it came to breaking up interference he was a terror to his opponents. When Clarendon was losing ground and needed her opponents out of the way, it was Ashael's long suit to step out and put 'em there. We expect to see him winning another record next year, and at the same time lose him to play for some university next year. making some of those old displays of skill. . lv V ASAHEL MCNABB. V Clarence Boehning, Canyon, Texas, Left Tackle. Q r K ' L Huge Tooth never haditime to say a word in the game, even to his opponents. He had too much other business to gr' . Y attend to. He was never known to let a man thru his guard P , ' and never failed to remove his opponent when he chose. He ' in 9' removed the hugest of the huge and treated them 'f ii' all alike. He was like a brick wall on the defense and like i . a pile-driver on the offense. He hit hard and never stopped until the last whistle had sounded. We are expecting CLARENCE BOEHNING. 108 Huge', with us another year. He has won his CU and deserves to wear it.
