FOOTJBALL ' Red McAlister: First string quarter-back and was Iron Man of the season. He was followed by Jim Wisdom and Billy McGhee in time played. Red was acting captain during the season. In our first game he ran the length of the field to make our only touch-down in the game, Bobby McGhee: First string half-back and second in points, furnishing the driving power for the squad. He was noted for his hard head and used it to make holes in the opponents line Billy McGhee: He was the only Freshman to letter, being the first string half-back. Billy was one ef the best passers and pass catchers on our squad as well as the lightest man. What he lacked in weight he made up in fighting spirit. Ted Esbinoza: Ted was the best tackler on the team, playing as first string center. He did not make first string until the middle of the season when our main center was injured. From then on he made history. Jim Wisdom: First string left end. Jim was high point man for the season, manager for the team,'and at the end of the season was made Captain. Jim was good at catching passes. He was the heaviest man on the team, weighing 174 lbs. Abelardo Duran: Abelardo was the only person to be knocked out during a game.
