 GEORGE BARBER, was a good backfleld man. He was late in getting started; therefore, he did not show up much until the last few games of the season. But in those few games, his tackling was great. There was not a man on the team who showed so much improvement as “M. D.” did. This being his first year in football, George's ability to pick holes in the opponent’s line-up was extraordinary. Although he was a good line plunger, his feature “stunt’ was a short end run. TI RNER, our husky left tackle, was the star of every game, making the left side of the line seem like a brick wall. Very often Jesse would break through the line and get the player before he got started. And Jesse has never y$t found the man who when he got his hands on him could get away. When we were in need of a five yard gain, it was just a call on Jess for a tackle through tackle run, and we were seldom dis- appointed. WATSOX—“NEB.” our fast little left end. was always where he was need- ed most. Several times during the past season his opponents commented upon his speed. Also, he was a sure tackle. When he went for an op- ponent’s feet the man was sure to come. The high school has never had a better man for receiving forward passes.

KliS E K V E S MOFFITT—Sub guard and tackle, was a few pounds too light, If ho had only had the weight he would have easily won his place with the re- gulars. Moffitt's motto is, “Never say down.” He was out for every practice and showed wonderful improvement. “Ge -made a great showing in the Waxahachie game holding his man better than some of the veterans CHARLIE KING—Charlie made an excel’ent back field man. and his show- ing in the few games he played was exceptionally good. His record is better than that of many more experienced men. BUFORD VV’ELLS—Wells could hardly be surpassed on breaking through his opponents’ line and tearing up their plays. Buford was good on long end runs. In the game between the Regulars and the Texas Won- ders, he made spectacular flying tackles. A. Y’EAGER—“Boc-ze” was a diligent worker. He never missed a practice when he was able to come on the field. He missed three weeks of practice on account of sickness, and this kept him from making th regulars. He was hard to beat on breaking up forward passes. He is sure of a place on next year’s team. M. BARBER—Goodwin was one cf our best ends. The plays that went round him were very few. Manning was one of the few who played a consistent game at Denton. In this game his work was of the greatest value to the team. Hard luck was all that kept him from making the regulars. In nearly every game he was injured and compelled to retire. G. RHODES—Jack is another of the “little but loud’’ variety. He is some- what over five feet tall, but no man on the team was too large for him to tackle. Jack was handicapped by not coming out to practice at the beginning of the season. But considering his football experience, he made remarkable progress.
