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.

'fSmithie was full of grit, but he was light and this was his first experience. Most of the players were heavier and had two years or more experience so he Clld not get to play regularly. This is his last year to be a member of the Tiger team. W. F. SMITH - Guard Age 165 hght. 5ft., 11 in.g wght. 150 lbs. Willie came out at the opening of the season and promised to make a good guard, but unfortunately he had to quit before the season expired. He had the spirit of the natural born player and went into every practice with a vim. He has the ambition and it is probable that he may make a showing with some Uni- versity. CLINTON GROVES - Half-Back Age 17, hght. 5 ft., 9 in.g wght. 166 lbs. Clinton was valuable season as a consistent throughout the ground gainer through an opposing line. He is low and stocky and crashed through the holes in the opponents' defense and seldom failed to gain a few yards at least. Frequently after the play had been called and the teams had met on the line of scrimmage, Clint would emerge from the mass of men and add more yards to Conroe's gain. This is Clint0n's second year on the team, and judging by his perform- ance these two seasons, much is expected of him On the future Tiger elevens. In Livingston he is known as the man that takes four men to stop. NEAL MADELEY - End Age 165 hght. 5 ft. 10 in., wght. 149 lbs. Playing end, Fatty held a peculiar distinction of being the best man on the field at catching difficult passes. Through the line he would shoot when the signals were called, 20, 30 or 40 yards, down the field and nearly always successful at throwing that long right hook out and snatching the ball. Fatty also showed the ability to break up inter- ference and down the man with the ball before he got to the line of scrimmage. He was frequenlty pulled to the half- back position, and when carrying the ball on end runs he out ran the interfer- ence and made the necessary yards. With his incredible speed he promises to be a half-back of distinction in '22. JOHN CROFFORD-Guard Age 185 hght. 6 ft., wght. 165 lbs. On account of Deacon's coming in three weeks late, he did not get to play in the first four games because he did not get the necessary trainingg but when he did he was a giant on both offense and defense. Very few times did Deacon fail to open a hole when called upon. He will not be with us next year and we sincerely regret that we lose a foot- ball player of the deacon's calibre. We feel sure that some college coach will gladly welcome him as a member of his squad. GEORGE KOEN - Guard Age 183 hght. 5 ft., 10 in.g wght, 160 lbs. With the graduation of Buffalo this year the Tigers lose one of the best guards they have ever had. He was loyal, every inch of him, to the team. Determination and grit were the key words to his success. Never a minute during the game did he lay down 'On his job, never a minute did he give the Tigers less than his best. Get them before they get to the line was Buffalo's motto. In the Brenham game Buffalo and the other six line men demoralized that team that was predicted by sports to sweep over the Tiger eleven for an overwhelmn- ing victory, Powerful with an abund- ance of downright nerve Buffalo has proved to be a man whose place will be hard to fill next year. LAWRENCE MILWEE-Center Age 17, hght. 5 ft.g wght. 165 lbs. BingoT', the massive center of the Tiger eleveyi made for himself an envi- able record during the past season. He was here there and everywhere during the whole game, and when an obnoxious seemed to be menacing the local goal two long arms would reach out and nab the runner, and out of the tangle of feet and legs a big husky of iron like frame would loom head and shoulders above the rest. Especially in the Livingston game with the opponents five yards to our goal and the fourth down and one to gog Bingo and another player broke through the line and downed the player for a five yard loss and turning the tide saved the day for Conroe. Furthermore Bingo will be back next season to carry on the good Work. 102
