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

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.

Z. CREIGHTON, Left Half and Quarter, - - - - - Chillicothe, Texas. P, Z. was the smallest man in the backfield, but the hardest to stop. He made 1 the most consistent gains through the line--not always long ones-ibut always substantial ones. On defense he played End, and is mighty hard to get around. After Maples was hurt, P. Z- generaled the team, and did it well. With this year's experience he should make an exceptionally 'good man next year. COLIN MCLAREN, Cuard --------- Wichita Falls, Texas 1 :l Here is a young blond haired fellow who Played consistent football until the middle of the season when an injury incapacitated him for rough play. Until then Blondie was one of the mainstays of the line. He will come back next year, and we predict that he lg will be heard from. W1 RICHARD THOMPSON, Center, ------- - Lockney, Texas, il. When you see a Center go through an entire season, playing in all of nine games without making a single bad pass, you will concede that he is at least a good offensive ill Center. Such is Diclt's record this year. He was one of the team's mainstays on de- 'r l fense. He played defensive Half, and was exceptionally good at breaking up passes. He is a splendid tackler. Another good man for next year's team. g l t 1 r i N E l ' L V i ,,,,,.. , ,,-,,,,i...., , , , .Yr, --.rua - Y---41- 'il l i ' --'15--fg ' ' if :Tif'i:i:I?4 1 p ' L . PACE ONE HUNDRED AND NINETEEN
