,i -'PW -..fn , Alley Semands James first touch-down of the game and season. Satan was also good in line plunges. If there was a hole in the l'ne he would fnd it, and if there was not he would manage some how to squirm through for a yard or two. His speed and consistent playing was a menace to his oppenents. He will be greatly missed when the whistle blows for the next season. RAYMOND WEISINGER - Tackle Age 185 hght. 5 ft., 11 in.g wght. 160 lbs. Though he has a record line of exag- gerated storfes Alligator made a record for himself during the last season. As a tackle he is unsurpassed, with his weight and at the same time some speed, he broke through many a line of other teams to down the runner in his tracks. No plunger was able to buck through the defense put up by alligator'. He suc- ceeded in holding down a great number of points, which might have been run up against the Tigers. His knowledge of the game placed him in a position of con- fidence with his team, and his head work appealed to the coach. Alligator was frequently shifted to the back field, and he promises to be a full back of the Jake Alley type. He was always a star, but he was a sure enough out-standing star in the Brenham game. - as Sterett Cable Gordon ARZY CABLE - End Age 173 hght. 5 ft., 10 in.g wght. 140 lbs. Creepy playing a wing position has a cred.table record for this season. Seldom is a player found who has the tenacity and fight with which Creepy is blessed. His tackling was unerring and his enthusiasm drove him down the field on the kick-off with amazing speed. Once he touched a runner. he was sure to be downed as Creepy rarely ever missed. He was accurate and one of the mainstays on the line, no team making many yards around his end. Whether the rest of the line did its duty or not Creepy always stopped the man that came his way. He will be back next year to help the Tigers fight their battles. GUY JAMES-Quarter-Back QCapt.J Age 183 hght. 5 ft., 10 in.g wght. 155 lbs. Few will ever leave C. H. S. with as enviable record as Jabo Captain of the 1921 foot-ball squad, thinking about nothing but foot ball, he put all of his energy in the game to win for Conroe. His passing and punting was one of the outstanding features of the year, The 28th of October was a sad day for Conroe, Jabo was forced from the field with an injured knee that kept him 99

Hunter Smith Bob Smith Vincent Walker Gilmore JAKE ALLEY - Full-Back Age 19, hght. 5 ft., 11 in.g wght. 168 lbs. Kitty was a hard luck member of the tiger squad in 1921. Play.ng a bang up game at full-back he was kept out of the championship game because of an injury to his knee, received three weeks before the battle royal . Al- though he was not in uniform on the field in the last four games he was always on the sidelines and his old spirit of they shall not pass prevailed among the men. Undoubtedly Kitty is one of the best full-backs that ever has or ever will wear a Tiger uniform. He was a good ground gainer and no man ever passed him on an open field. This is Kitty's last year and his departure will leave a big gap for the coach to fill. Where did he get his nick-name, girls? MILDRED SEMANDS - End g Age 19, hght 5 ft. 7 in., wght. 136 lbs. Touchdown Sambo, Don't you know Trinity, Trinity, Boys, let's go. That's the way Sambo did it. They say once Sambo wasn,t brave, Sambo said No, I'm brave, but I was just out- classed . 98 Well when Trinity came down Sam- bo went on dress parade He made two touchdowns and conjured his state- ment. But you wait Sambo will grow. He's got the stuff that makes a player and we hope to hear from him later on. He's going out this year and we sure will miss him for he laughed at his misfor- tunes and always boosted the fellow who beat him for a position. Who said he didn't make first team? He had the spirit that makes the first string anyway. AUBREY KELLY-Guard Age 16, hght. 5 ft., 8 in.g wgt. 150 lbs. Red came out for the first time this season. ' Inexperience alone kept him off the first line. He did not know when to quit, and fought with the pep of a two year man. He will make a good guard for next year. FRANK GORDON - Half-Back Age 175 hght. 5 ft., 8 in.g wght 130 lbs. Satan was constantly shifted about in the back-field, and in every position he made good. He was an emergency man and played anywhere on the team. In the Livingston game his 22 yd. dash on the famous Tiger criss-cross rallied the team, and started a steady march down the field, which resulted in the

He was the most active man on the team, and always got his man. He was one of the men who could not be replaced, and the old team missed his good work when he was crippled. Good-bye Jabo , we need you, but so does the world. JEWEL GILMORE - Full-Back Age 169 hght. 6 ft.g wght. 180 lbs. Jelly is one hundred and eighty pounds of pure grit. He is a heavy man for full-back and his powerful drive will be remembered by both his teammates and the men who played against him. In the Brenham game, especially, Jelly played great foot-ball. Time after time he plunged through that heavy black line for substantial gains. Time after time he met the flying Italian on the line of scrimmage. So sure was his tackling and so crashing his drives against Bren- ham that Coach McComb, after the game, said in that contest Jelly played the greatest individual game of high school foot ball that he had ever seen. When the quarter-back called right for- mation Jelly back you could hear the men in black groan. What more could be said about the fellow that has one more year to show what a real Tiger player is made of. Crofford Hailey Smith ROBERT VINCENT - Half'-Back Age 179 hght. 5ft., 7in.g wght. 127 lbs. Rabbit was one of the lightest men in the backfield, but also one of the fast- est. Though weighing only 127 pounds he was quick and an excellent dodger. Often he would be seen streaking his way in a Zig zag course down and across the field while gasping tackles seemed abso- lutely unable to check his flight. In the Navasota game with six yards to go he bucked his way through the line knock- ing off the interfering tackles he crossed the line for the last touch-down of the game. Rabbit being quick and alert slapped down many a pass that might have resulted in a touch-down for the opponents. He did not get to play regu- larly this season, but with a year to put on weight and strength, he promises to be an outstanding star next year. WALTER WOODSON - Center Age 153 hght. 6 ft., wght. 143 lbs. Walter came out for end at the first of the season, but when Bingo was shifted to tackle, Walter was given a chance at center and succeeded. Walter was not looked upon as a good foot ball player until the Humble game when he picked up a fumble and raced across the goal line. From then on he was re- garded as one of the best players on the ffl ,.
