jfnuthall HE l9l I season opened with a very poor prospect for us When the call for candidates was made lots of our best material was found absent. We were all thinking, who could fill the vacant places? There seemed none here who would be competent to fill them, but after a few days of hard practice it was evident that some very promising material had been found. Each day they improved. It was not long until no one was sure of a position, and not until the first game did anyone know who would play. Even some of the old men were not sure they could make good against some of the new men. Some were, however, inexperienced, and it was no easy task to prophecy what they would do when up against the real thing. The scrub team was of indispensible aid to the 'varsity, although outweighed and outclassed, they were seen on the gridiron every afternoon, giving the 'varsity all that was in them. Our prospects for a great season was no longer in doubt. Instead of looking blue and dreading to see the day when we would meet our foes, everyone was jubilant over the teams good work and development, and longed for the day when our rivals from Warrenton should meet us. Several days prior to the contest, Coach Thompson came over from Wake Forest, and after coaching us a few days said we had as good, if not the best, Prep. School team in the State. When Warrerrton came over, no one was in doubt who the victor would be, but how much we would beat them? It was really a joke. When the game was over we had beat them by a score larger than any one had expected. The other game with them was even worse. After having defeated several of the best Prep. School teams in the State, we challenged any Prep. School for the championship. None excepted, however, except Bingham, Asheville, and we are sorry we could not come to terms with them on account of several professionals on their team, who they refused to bar

from the game. We were then declared the champions of the State for Prep. Schools. Harkins at Fullback, has been a lower of strength to the team. His line plunging and all- round playing has featured every game. Next comes Witherington at half, who is one of the most consistent ground gainers on the team. Gooch, at the other half, is also another good man. He is a good line plunger, and often tears off long runs around the ends. Beard at quarter- back must not be overlooked, this heady little quarterback always has his head overflowing with a variety of plays that keep his opponents guessing. The success of the team in part can be credited to his generalship. The line was heavy, and always there with the goods Grady and Allein on the ends, played brilliantly throughout the season, both on the offensive and the defensive. With Ramsay and Driggers as tackles, we could hardly hope for two better men, both of them always in the game, this fact the other fellows can tell you about. As guards, we have two men, Garrison and julian, two men who have spoiled many a good play for our opponents, both are fast and through the line like a shot. Last, hut by no means least, comes our center, Blalock. He has been playing this position for two years, and we could hope for no better man. l-le is a perfect passer, and if not watched closely, will spoil many good plays and tear large holes for some of the backs to tear off long runs. Winston, McNair, and Klingman, substitutes, are all good men, and could fill the position of some of the men as good as they. With these men, we developed the fast and aggres- sive eleven that won for us this season the highest honors. DREWRY, 'l2.
