When a word of encouragement was needed Manager Lockwood was on the spot. Never wavering and always throw- ing his entire force into his work with the team. He has without doubt helped Harding to climb to the top this year. Lockwood received his letter this year for his faithfulness. When ever Harding High rooters saw an opposing safety man thrown from feet, they could usually be sure that Claude Perry was doing his best for the team. Without a doubt he was one of the best grids in the league, and he will be hard to replace next season. Although not a member of the varsity, the fight, determination, and loyalty dis- played by Harry Snyder, half-back, proved him Worthy of varsity letter. He is a digniied senior this year. Another efficient and high-powered cheer-extractor was Jane Smith. Who hasn't seen that flowing red hair flashing like a banner, leading Harding to vic- tory? Jane has lead the cheering section for three years. HARDING-FINDLEY-2 I - I 8 After Winning over Galion, Harding was defeated by Findley in a fast and ex- citing game.

1 7 4 l i HARDING-BUCYRUS-1 z -7 In a London fog with rain and mud swimming around them, Harding pulled a fast one to defeat Bucyrus. The game was Bucyrus' till the last quarter, then lighting spirit and Zimmer's and Mc- Aninch's touchdowns defeated the boys from Bucyrus. Silent but steadiy fighting, always on the job, and giving all he had, character- izes Vance Harden, right guard on Hard- ing's championship team. Vance dons the cap and gown. Little Wilbur Wittred was the pee- wee of the squad, but his size was not a drawback judging from the way he used to tackle and carry the ball. His iight and grit will prove a great asset to next season's gridders. john Castner won the position of regu- lar full-back after three years of hard work. Although small for his position he performed like a seasoned veteran. Johnny will be back next year. Versatile and brilliant playing are characteristics of Dick McAninch. His contributions to the championship team included punting, passing, and call- ing signals. Harding High followers will never forget his long runs to the goal for a touchdown. He has completed one of the most brilliant careers in the annals of the school. HARDING-DELAWARE-25-7 On account of injuries, a new back- iield combination was used in this game and it proved highly successful. The team proved that, given a chance, a line man can score also. The game was fast but not spectacular. Delaware managed to score in the last quarter on a fumble. Nine ty-seven

Although handicapped by many injuries, the team showed what a fight- ing spirit can do. The linemen proved their ability to score also. Three of the five touchdowns were scored by linemen. Merle Wise was hampered most of the season with a bad ankle, but this did not keep him from playing the game in such a manner as to stamp him as a real threat at all times. He will help make another championship team next year. Though short in stature, Harding's senior cheer leader, Howard Bailey, has had long experience in leading the cheers for his Alma Mater. Sophomore, junior and Senior classmates have all been in- spired to yell their loudest for the team by Skinny. John Peacock proved his versatality by playing the greater part of the season as tackle, and later he took the position of fullback. Johnny made many a first down for Harding. He, too, is claimed by graduation. After three years of unceasing effort as tackle on Harding's team, Bill Woessner gained the coveted H this year. Al- though not a regular, Bill always played Well in all the games. Bill, too, gradu- ates.
