cameos vs. HUMBLEl Old Conroe's on the gridiron, And Humble is the foeg And Conroe's going to win it- I guess I ought to know! I can hear their bones a crashing And their red blood almost boil- Say, boys, you can't be losersg on Old Conroe's soil! Humble's line is failingg face is all a-frowng Conroe feels like heaven- Not Yes, Her But She made a fair touch-down. Fight on, ye stars of glory! Fight on for Conroe's name! We're going like old shipmates- We're sailing on to fame! At last, old Humble's gaining, But she cannot stay ahead- Oh God! they knocked our Jake And he'll have to lay in bed. Say, Humble, are you heartless, Or, are you just mere frauds? VVhy, you can't have this game- Not by the foot-ball Gods! Time out! and Conroe won! We ought to bow our heads, And 'neath the setting sun, Breathe a prayer for Humble, 01.1 For they know not what they do- But I'll save the prayers for our boys What about it Pal, won't you? -R. E. D

CECIL STERE'I'T - End Age 175 hght. 5 ft., 7 in., wght. 120 lbs. Full-back Lasses had the grit and pep. Although he was small his great- est ambition was to tackle Jake, one of the largest and hardest hitting men on the team, Ask Jake if he fell? We'll say he did. Lasses wasn't any judge of fighting men, for he said: The big- ger they are the harder they fall . He cried to play in the championship game, but the coach thought him too light. The team won't soon forget his support, and are sad to see him go. ERNEST HUNTER-Guard Age 18g hght. 5 ft. 6 in., wght. 148 lbs. Pokey did not take part in all the games in the last of the season, owing to an injury received to his broken leg. Pokey was small in statue but he played a good brand of foot ball-con- sidering the experience he had. When he entered the field the opponents looked upon him as an easy mark, but as the game proceeded, guess they learned all too soon, that he was a man worthy of the position. He was a hard worker and his accomplishments did not surprise his team mates. Pokey is liked by everybody and we are sorry to loose him this season. JOHNNY GRIFFITH Age 183 hght. 5 ft. 7in.g wght. 140 lbs. Rine received an injury in the first game that handicapped his playing for the remainder of the season. Although he was light and had a weak leg he showed up admirably well in tackle. He was on the field for practice every even- ing and gave his best to make the Tigers a better team until an added injury to his leg forced him out of the game per- manently. We are sorry he was forced out because he was full of nerve and a good sport. As Rine leaves us this year we wish him good luck and pros- perity in the future. ERNEST BOEHLER-Guard Age 183 hght. 6 ft.g wght. 160 lbs. This was Dutch's first year with the Tigers, but he made a good showing and played in several games. He was quite a powerful guard. Dutch was swift for his weight and hard to get by. He will be with the Tiger team next year, and will add strength to the line, 103
