The call for football candidates was issued 53 the middle of September, and thirty-four aspiring Red Devils reported 'Q for practice with the determination to make it tough for someone to X 5 beat him out of a place on the squad. , X if Coach Sturgill's valuable assistance in developing the team was no- pl ' ticed 'from the first. ' Student Manager Rash was always on hand to administer to the needs in of the squad. How often we have heard expressions similar to these, . gq Dubby, where's the tape ? I want another pair of shoes. Dubby 2' was always on hand and his success as student manager will be an ex- , 5 il ample to others in years to come. After a scant two weeks' practice, Coaches Perry and Sturgill had 1 xl developed a real team, ready for their first game with Central City, Oc- if tober 2, 1926. 2 ,mfg During the whole season the fighting spirit that prevailed in each , member of the squad, must be accredited to the line example and spirit 'I of our coaches and student manager.

During the second half, Owens- Q N boro's second team replaced the first string men. It was not long before the Golden Tide made their touchdown. if The generalship of G. Medley as quarter was excellent. R. Hudson :QQ played one of the best defensive games of the year. Miller, of the second EW string, played an excellent game as safety man.
