One Hundred . v X 4 f 4 HARDING-MANSFIELD-6-o Harding dropped a fast game to Mansield on which the league champion- ship hopes reposed. A The game was fea- tured by the hard hitting charges of the linemen. Robinson, MansHeld's colored flash, scored the only touchdown of the game. Don Meily was shifted from the line to the back-field during the season. His offensive playing won him a regular berth in this position. He will continue to iight for Harding next year. Gerald Zimmer, the man that never said much, was one of the most reliable fellows on the team. His playing was very remarkable especially when you con- sider that this was his first year ate end. He earned his letter the year before at the position of guard. He will graduate with the class of 'z9. Keith Maloney, the sophomore cheer leader, does he lead? Oh, you have no idea! Keith may be just a sophomore but when he leads yells, you simply can't re- sist cheering. His power for drawing more yells per capita is irresistable. ' When the team was feeling rather down and out, or showed a tendency to let-up, it was Bate Williams' who al- ways put the old pep back into the boys with his ever present fight and grit. This plucky guard's voice calling encourage- ment to the team will not be heard on the gridiron next year. HARDING-SHELBY-1 9- 1 z By defeating Shelby who had previous- ly defeated Mansfield, Harding won her first N. C. O. Championship. The game was closely contested and each team fought vigorously, but the Hnal gun found Harding on top.

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.
