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.

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.

Scrubs. It is always necessary to have a Scrub team if there is to be a good Varsity. Much credit is due the Scrubs for the making of the Varsity: for they were at all times faithful and unitring in their efforts. They fought like Trojans and many of them gave the Varsity men the scare of their lives for the positions that they held. At this time we want to compliment the inembers of the Scrub team who toiled faitlifully from the start to the tinisll that there might be a real Varsity, that G. M. C. should be well represented in the football circles of the state. We certainly admire them and we feel that we should take this opportunity to express to them our heart-felt thanks. The football classic of the season was played when the Scrubs under the excellent leadership of Captain Robinson met in deathly struggle with the Varsity under Captain Warren. It was a wonderful game and each of the two teams fought from the start to the finish, although it seemed that the Scrubs held the upper edge for the final score was 13-6 in their favor. It was one of the many times that the Scrubs showed rare ability as football players.
