Bob was always cracking jokes with Blondie during signal practice, but he delivered the goods in such a fashion that he was never replaced by a substitute. He hit hard and 3 I and rushing the punter or passer, and he is a crackerjack tackler. More star material for 2 next year. tv il NOAH MEAD5, Fullback, ------- - - Clarendon, Texas. ' Li ll X I In Noah we see the smashing type of player. He hits the line low and hard, usually gaining, and he is also mighty good on short end runs. ln addition to his running ability, Elf Noah was valuable to the team in that he was one of the best passers in the Panhandle, and a mighty goodkicker. He is a good punter, and missed only three goals from touch- lil down, besides kicking several dropkicks during the season. Noah is one of the most valuable men on the team, and we predict a great season for him next year. Ng Ht ll STANLEY GREEN, Tackle ----- - - - - - Wheeler, Texas. 'M Pot was new at football until this year, but he made a place for himself in the Clarendon line. . He is one of that quiet kind. Never says anything in a game. But ' we hear of him on the Campus after the game is over. Green is a wee bit slow for a tackle, but he didn't find his better until he struck Bailey of Abilene Christian College.

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'.....'

GEORGE CLOSE, Right Half, ------ - Shamrock, Texas. Here is the fastest man we saw during the entire year. Give George the ball and give him some sort of interfcrence and he will make the gain. Ten or fifteen yards around the end was a small matter. He is an excellent tackler, and on running back punts, he usual- ly carries them back so far that it is hardly worth while for the opposing team to punt. He is some sidestepper, and can catch a pass in most any position. In all of the games this year he was a marked man, but he managed to make a touchdown in every game but one. We are glad that he is coming back next year. ROBERT YoUNc, Guard, ---------- Rotan, Texas. Robert saw his first football game this season. Of course he was green at the game to begin with. but he played in every quarter with the Bull Dogs. That's enough to prove his worth. He is very gentle with his opponents, usually taking them by the nap of the neck and easing them to the ground roughly. JAMES NOBLE, Guard ---------- Clarendon. Texas. Jim played in but few of the games during the year, but if there is anything to the psychology of football, the knowledge that Jim was standing on the line ready to go in must have saved a game or two for Clarendon. When he played he showed himself to be a fast linesman with a penchant for using headwork. PAGE ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN
