o 1949 Maude DONNIE DANIEL SNYDER stood out especially well as a defensive player. This capable reserve held down the job of right guard and should be a big help when Coach Ryan calls the 1949 squad together next September. HARLAN -IIGGIEU BROADWATER, two-year letterman, was one of the really valuable members of the 1948 team. He was outstanding as center, a position that he held for two years. His place will be hard to fill next year. MELVIN HGOOCHIEH GOOCH, who played left guard, was an outstanding player on the Green and White squad, making the first string in his sophomore year. Small but scrappy, this Ryanman was noted for his never-say-die spirit. RICHARD RICK GARCIA, one of the two Big Green players to receive honor- able mention on the All-State Team, was elected captain of the 1948 team, a position which he filled well. Small in stature but mighty in strength, he was a really fine left end. ROBERT PUPPY STEWART, who played a guard position, was one of the most dependable and hard-working members of the squad. Reporting for practice in his Freshman year, this Senior has labored four seasons to help the Big Green get its share of victories. 57

1949 Mvmdde ROBERT BOB MICHAEL and his trained toe saw plenty of action during the 1948 season inasmuch as he did most of the kicking-off for the Big Green. This six-foot Senior proved to be a capable and efficient right end. RAYMOND RAY ASHBEE nailed down an end position on the '48 Big Green team. He won this place through long and hard work during the past four sea- sons. Always quiet and dependable, this Senior was a valuable member of the squad. DEWEY MEATBALL KERNS saw considerable action as both fullback and quarterback last fall. When he was sent into the game, he could be counted on to do his job well. This happy-go-lucky Senior will be missed next year. DON NAYERSIEH AYERS, Senior and left tackle, was the big man of the 1948 squad in more than one way, having received honorable mention on the All-State Team as well as being chosen player-of-the-week by the United Press. DAVE APE MASTERS proved to be an outstanding member of the Green and White team. He performed capably as right tackle and was always in there fight- ing. This Junior is one of the few lettermen who will be available next fall. 58
