X f BALLEW CThird Basej C This big Indian proved his worth with the stick from the first of the season. No pitcher in the conference felt safe when he was taking his swing and many times was he walked to get to some one else. He always has a mouth full of chatter and will be one of the leaders next year, SANDS fO11tfieldJ Billie Buck was a hard fighter and a Cougar in every sense of the word. He is valuable for his hitting and has caused many pitchers misery this year. When called upon he is always ready to do his bit. His loss will be felt on the next year's team. CARPENTER fPitcherJ In Carpenter we have the leading pitcher of the Conference. He is a hard worker' and has sufficient stuff to make him the terror of Junior Col- lege circles. No man on the team trained harder or did more toward building the team than did he. C. HALLMARK CShort Stopj Again we have an example of the fighting spirit of this man. Playing his third year in the Cougar uniform he demonstrated his true worth to the team. No better fielder has ever graced the Meridian diamond and with that he was a dangerous hitter. He has another year with the Cougars.

T. C. HALLMARK CLeft Fieldj In baseball as in football, T'. played his same consistent brand of baseball day after day. This was his first year at college baseball but he came through as we expected him to. He is a good fielder and hitter and prom- ises to be a great asset' to the team next year. JOHN SPITZER COutfielderJ When Dutch entered the game he gave the best that was in him for his team and always performed in a pleas- ing fashion. John is young in the game and with another year we expect him to make the Cougars a man to be proud of. L. LEACH fRight Fieldj Skeeter was one of the most valuable men the Cougars had, a good fielder, good hitter, and due to his speed he was the leading base thief of the team. Skeet has a love for the game and for his school and when he was called upon could always deliver the goods. W. LEACH fFirst Basel Captain No harder fighter ever donned the Cougar uniform than this mang he made the team one of the best captains that they ever had and was in there to the last. His natural position was first base, but when called on he could put up a good brand of pitching. He will be missed very much on the next year squad. - ' X 7 Ak ,... l..

To watch this youngster work was an inspiration to his team mates. He was a hard worker and a loyal Cougar. With this year's ex- perience We are expecting great things of him next year. WHITLOCK CCatcherJ Although young in age this man is old in the baseball game. No smarter catcher ever nestled behind a Junior College platter than he is. Along with this he is an excellent fielder, a good hitter and is fight through and through. We regret that we lose him this year. Ross LOVE CSecond Basel It' can truly be said of Ross that he played his part in every game. He fielded some that looked good for hits and had a head full of baseball sense. He is a true Cougar and promises to be one of the leading men of next- year's squad. SMITH lRight Fieldj In Smitty we have a man- overilow- ing with fight and pep. He is fast, a good fielder and one of the leading hitters of the club. He snags the bad ones when they look like hits. He will be a. valuable man to the Cougar squad next year.
