C.-29 With the exception of the game played with Abilene Christian College, a college of senior rank whose team outweighed the Clarendon Bull-dogs at an average of thirty-five pounds per man, C. C. lost only one game during the football season of '20-'2l. That game was lost to Wayland Baptist College a few days after Maples, C. C. quarter- back had been laid up with a serious injury and the entire team reconstructed. We evened the count with Wayland later by trimming her on the home gridiron, and played her to a 6-6 tie at Amarillo. Wayland's record for the year, however, included other losses. which gave us an undisputed claim to the championship of the Panhandle. PAGE oNg HUNDRED AND FIFTELN

This came about, first, as a result of the coach. I Burton, having a good sized quantity of raw material to work withg second, the growing in- fluence of traditions of C. C. whose importance grows with the passing of the seasons: third, the fine spirit of as sportsman-like a bunch of atheletes as ever graced a college: and last, but not least, the indefatigable efforts, and the like- able way in which were made the efforts. of the athletic coach, Harley T. Burton. Coach Burton has an unusual ability to cor- rectly ascribe this or that fault to its proper cause. If it were low morale, poor team work, H. T- BURTON weak collective drive, indifference, or de- fective individual effort, he was not long in finding the cause, and less long in remedying it. He has had such control of the teams as would insure against possible grandstanding and individual playing, and yet has known where to leave off so as not to hamper the teams to overcoaching to the point of mechanical play. Last year his influence began to be really felt in C. C. athletics, and to be reflected in substantial scores. l-le developed a basketball team of high-school players that met the best college, semi-pro, and high-school teams of the Panhandle and never suffered a de- feat, scoring a total of almost twice as many points as its opponents. In football this year, Clarendon took the championship of the Panhandle with a team that was beaten Jnly once by a college team of Junior college, or lower rank- Nlr. Burton will have athletics again next year, has already laid some plans for the l9ZI-'22 season, and everybody has good cause to look forward to a great year in C. C. athletics. iiztr'-'Q .

AVIS MAPLES, Captain and Quarter, ------- Munday, Texas. lVlape was an able field general and a man who could keep up the sPirit of his 1, tea-m. In addition to being the best defensive man on the team, he was one of the most j ground-gainers whenever he elected himself to carry the ball. He suffered an injury in the third game of the season that kept him out for the rest of the year, but his influence Q on the side-lines helped in pinches. l MATT NOBLE, End, M anmger, -------- Lelia Lake, Texas. Matt felt the call of the gridiron late in the summer, and at the first whistle the following September, he was on his toes: the end of the sason found him in much the same ll' spirit. He blended his managerial duties with those of the coach as effectively as he did his playing with that of his teammates-most effectively. His friends on the side-lines li. remember his end runs, and his last-minute tackles. ,, Ql Q! H. T. BURTON ------------- - Coach Coach looks pretty substantial to have a ghost, but he had one, and it constituted the twelfth man on the team. The spirit of the Coach on the gridiron was about equal to any player, too, 1 1 l li X . lx ooffx xf'., W ED. .fi .4...3'.....'
