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.

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 ,.
