Possessed of the heart of a lion, this rangy boy didn't know the meaning of the word can't. Though light, they never came too big for him. Who will ever forget the memorable Tarfeton game of '24, when, playing at the tackle position, he threw himself in the pathway of that plunging aval- anche of beef and brawn, and smeared the works time after time? Rex is true blue and a real man from the tip of his toes to the top of his head. CHARL1:s fl.-XNDOLPH Tackle This sandy haired boy hails from Cherokee, in the rugged hills of West Texas. No less rugged and sturdy than the hills among which he roamed as a boy, Red put his whole soul into the game every time Coach Fost- er's finger beckoned him into the game. His first year of football, this lad gives promise of developing into a valuable man for anyb0dy's football club. RALPH H0sK1Ns A End No man who wore the Cougar colors during the year '24 made more prog- ress in his game than did Red Boots Hoskins. Being absolutely new at' the game, he kept plugging away, and invariably showed worlds of stuff, when called upon. Alert every minute, an adept at recovering fumbles, speedy, tough, this rangy lad is going to make his mark in the athletic world. Mighty few would be line busters ever continued on their way after Red laid his shoulder against them. His friends are numbered by those who knew him. f N Ofc EOSQUE' 925 as e K

Here's a lad that has captivated the ' ! l I IJ 'la ' 4 P5 MMA Y 1 f. of V 1 , ,,,,, : av H lie' gf C iii? 31.55515 N y CAsoN SMITH End Playing his first year on the Cougars, Smitty proved himself worthy. He came to us as a running mate of Ross Love, from the Hillsboro High School. Not' a yellow spot in his whole system, game to the core, al- ways fighting, never afraid of the big- gest and fastest of them, Smitty cov- ered the ground he occupied. He has endeared himself to those who follow Cougar sports, and they will not soon forget' this lad from Hillsboro, who was constantly giving all he had every minute of the time he was in the game. W. B'. POWELL End Coryell County sent this boy to the Cougars, and well might she be proud of her son. Quiet, even tempered, al- ways trying, on the job every minute. His assignment' was a difficult one. The end position had more good-men trying for it than any other. As a consequence Dub did not play in as many quarters as some of his team- mates. When his time came he was always ready, and invariably gave his all. Dub will live long in the hearts of all who knew him. HARVEY BALLENV End , heart and admiration of the entire school and community. Stolid, quiet, sturdy, never ruffled, he won his spurs and the right to first rank. There was no uneasiness in Coach Foster's mind when Indian was on the job. Hubbard City sent him to the Cougars, and forever Meridian College owes Hubbard a debt of thanks. Her son came to Meridian and has blazed him- self a trail of glory. His popularity, his sterling personal qualities, his athletic ability, are unquestioned.
