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 ,.

,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

3. ,.Y .-.. --1-f--171' ,gil X0 lVoodson Outlaw Boehler Tiger eleven. Although he was tall and slim he hit them around the shoe strings and they always sucked dust. W'alter has two more years to master the science of foot ball. ARCHIE WALKER- End Age 155 hght. 5 ft., 7 in.g wght. 118 lbs. Preacher was truly a hero for he cried to fight. He was one of our most loyal supporters. There wasn't anyth.ng he had that was too good for the rest of the team. He loved the game better than anyone on the team, for he would rather see a larger man go in his place if he thought it would help win. Preacher will be with us next year :nd stands a good chance of winning an end position for he never misses a pass. Atta boy Preacher. ROBERT SMITH - Quarter-Back Age 155 hght. 5 ft., 5 in.g wght. 128 lbs. Runt was called upon frequently during the season to substitute at quar- ter. In the only two games he played throughout he proved his ability to gen- eral the team and advance the ball down the field. Runt has one more season ahead of him in which it is highly prob- able that he will develop into a quarter- back ofthe first team. On account of his Carroll Madeley Groves weight he was kept on the side lilies quite a bit, but any high school coach would have been glad to number him among the candidates for his eleven. ALBERT OUTLAW - Tackle Age 185 hght. 5 ft., 9 in.gwght, 150 lbs. Fish did not take part in a great many games during the season but when an injury to Rhine's leg left a big gap in the line F sh was called upon and filled the position admirably. Always a dangerous man because of his determina- tion to put the best in him into whatever he did. Fish demonstrated his ability to hold down the tackle position, es- pecially in the Bryan game. He has one more year on the Tiger team. REAGAN SMITH - Tackle Age 175 hght. 5 ft., 8 in.g wght. 138 lbs. When practice began at the first of the season Smith'ie did not report on ac- count of a sprained ankleg but he began about two weeks later. He was light and inexperienced but he showed up well, especially in the Livingston game. In this game he was put in tackle and play- ed a fine game of foot ball. After the game the coach was heard to remark that he had surprised him very much.
