Besides being a good bucker, he was excellent on end runs and a splendid man for interference. WALLACE BUTTS 1Endt: Wallace our youngest athlete was a wonder at end and was always a terror to the opposing backs. He started off on the Scrubs, but was soon seen to be too good a man to be there and so was imme- diately placed on the Varsity. Some of Col. Cousley's ability is reHected in him for Colonel always seemed to be specially interested in him. This l suppose is one of the reasons for his wonderful success this year. FRED DUNN lCuardi : Fred showed that fighting spirit that has always characterized C. M. C. and the college that gets him in the future is to be complimented. Here's to you Fred. FRANK DUNN llilndt: Frank is a line man to tear up interference and is a good tackler. No doubt he will win unusual fame in the near future. At first he was a Scrub but hard work and tight put him where he really belonged. WILL FOWLER 1Halfbackt: Fowler was a Hne back. fast as lightning, and therefore a line end runner. He was not only a line man to carry the ball, but was also a good man to run interference. H. B. EVERIDGE lTacklei : Buzz is one of the best men on the team. He always fights to the last. No doubt he will show up in even greater form next year, and we will certainly all be glad to to see him back. He will be one of the leading men next year and will win even more suco ss then than he did this year. J. D. HOWARD lFullback and Endt : Jimmie has a push and drive that will go through most anything. He was a terror to opposing linesmen, who always had a great respect for his ability. Jimmieis ambition is to be on the Georgia Football and Basketball team. and he will certainly succeed if he continues at the rate he is going. G. G. REID tQuarterbackt: Garland was a superb leader. and it was due to his generalship that we were able to fight so much. He always led his men by example, and was an excellent player himself. Beid has been elected alternate captain of next yearis team and no doubt he will show great form. . A. E. SLACK lCentert: Slack has been selected by the student body as the best football player of the season, and he rightly deserves the position. He was always in the thick of the fight, and had an excellent pass. as well as a sure one. He kicked most of the goals after touchdowns. He was also an excellent man on the defensive and probably played his best game in Green- ! . 1 1 4 -4. 1 its if ,i 177711: I 1 la. wr sv , -14 E-3 'fr-.g. My .,.,.... 4.

'ff' Lillfffii .. , .. the morning of November 4th, for Greenwood, and indeed it was destined to be a glorious trip for a few of the boys at least. Upon their arrival in Green- wood, they were escorted up to the hotel which was soon found to be a place of ease and leisure. Here the members of the team were entertained the evening after the game by a few of the select young ladies of the city. Cer- tainly, everyone enjoyed the evening for it was a pleasurable one. The game itself was an interesting one although Bailey won with a score 17-0. At least a few of the members of the team are looking forward to their second visit to Greenwood. Fowler. Slack and Butts were the star men. G. M. C. returned to her old-time football form when she defeated the fast team of Dahlonega 7-0. lt was an excellent game and one of the best of the season. Baisden in the line and Fowler and Howard in the backiield were the outstanding men. Howard scored the touchdown with a five-yard buck following two very brilliant runs. The Thanksgiving game was one of much interest, and aroused much spirit through the city. However after a hard fought battle we lost to Locust Grove Institute, the score being 7-6. It was only due to the fact that there were several fumbles that we lost, and even then it was only a matter of luck, as the members of the Locust Grove team admitted. With Coach Bonner, Maj. Edwards and Col. Cousley all back on the job next year, and with the number of this yearis team that are sure to return, it is a safe prediction that the team that represents G. M. C. next year will be at the top of the pile at the end of the season and weeping because there are no other worlds to conquer. With this combination, G. M. C. is sure to start again her long line of victories. THE MEN BAISDEN fT3.CkleJZ Baisden was always in the thick of the fight. He never let up fighting and in more than one game made an excellent showing. He is a good punter and did most of the punting for the team. He was al- ways a fine tackler and a terror to opposing backs. O. 0. BANKS tGuardi : Olen always had the goods, and he certainly was a hard fighter. He made a creditable showing all during the season, and was a wonderful linesman. We wish for Olen as great a success in all his en- deavors as he made here in football. W. E. BASS tTacklej : Bass made a good showing the entire season as a linesman, and in the future no doubt he will make a greater success and gain a greater fame as a gridiron star. J. W. BLACK fHalfbackJ: Black was a fine running partner for the .- , --Y- -' t is 4 .,1 STTFT 1 - ' 3 -,I'.--..:,.,, N -' .1 .. K -f 4., . ' '4

wood against Bailey. He has been elected captain of next year's team and will be back in line form and we all wish to see him play his best. C. F. STILES fCuardl : Stiles was a line man on the defensive, and was good at opening up holes for the backs to go through. In the future Stiles will surely reflect credit on the school by his brilliant playing. J. M. THOMAS lHalfbacki : Joe was one of the best backfield men pro- duced this year. He is fast and an excellent man to carry the ball. He was good on receiving forward passes. Good luck to you Joe. W. J. WILKINS lHalfbackl : Pee Wee was a line back, playing his best game with Dahlonega in which he showe,d that he was fast and good at run- ning interference. He always had the G. M. C. fighting spirit, and possessed rare ability as a player. M. HINES lTackle and Center! : Madison was a very good linesman and has made a very creditable showing this season. He has fought like a Trojan and has been crowned with success. He was also a very good center and had a fine pass. WILBUR W.ARREN lCaptainJ Full Back Perhaps the greatest record of the team and one of which any team might well be proud, was their extremely clean playing and gentlemanly con- duct on the field, and for this record a large measure of credit is due our lion hearted full back Wilbur Warren. Reporting late-due to sickness during the summer-his determination and never say die spirit, soon won for him the proud distinction of Captain of the team, this same spirit was destined later to prove a tower of strength to the team in their many trials, and in fancy we can see his determined face even now, and hear his cheering remark, g'That,s all right, fellows, play football? It is a sad thought to the team, as well as to the entire student body, that his name will not be on the roster of G. lVl. C. another year, however our loss will be some oneis gain, as he will move up to a higher school, and we can console ourselves with the thought, that he gave us his best while with us, and that some day we will read great things about his prowess on the grid- iron of some university, so we all join in our good wishes for his future success.
