COACH LAVAL We believe Coach Laval to be the best coach in the entire South. I le is liked by every member of the student body, and his love for Fu:man is obvious. At the beginning of the season all prospects for a winning team were certainly discouraging. Coach Laval, however, took this green material and quickly molded it into a fighting machine. A.s a result Fuiman was able to lie Clcmron for the state championship, and the record brought Furman into prominence throughout the football world. “SPEEDY” SPEER For three years Captain Speedy Speer has worn the Purple and White on the football gridiron. Mis thorough knowledge of the game, his quick line plunges, his never-failing end runs, and his continuous fighting spirit have done much to make Furman's record what it has been. Fighting spirit with the old determination dominated his whole being. For three successive years Speedy has been selected for the All-State team, and this year he was selected as quarter back on the All-Southern team. We are expecting yet greater things from Speedy next year. JAKE RASOR Manager Rasor deserves much credit for the results of the season. A more efficient man could not have been selected to manage the team. In every detail he was faithful to the interest of his men. From the first of September until after Thanksgiving he was one of the busiest men on the campus. Jake was unusually popular, and his every ready smile won for him the friendship not only of the team but of the whole student body. Much honor is due him for his service. Page one hundred thirty-five
