Moore, Horace CJr.D Center-a heavy man, when he floated some one was bound to sink. Gould, Pete CKimseyD Guard-His blocking was always appreciated. Opposition feared him. Barker, Nathan CRedJ Guard-Mean as he looks. Trying to impose on his man, Nunley, Gene CBubbieJ-Tackle-Cone tooth Nunleyl Always off sides. What he lacked in grit he made up in weight.
