' riKnifili small in stature Birdie more than made up for tliis by his wonderful defensive playini . lie was a hard worker and eould al- ways he de])ended on to do his best. This is Birdie ' s last year, hut we are sure of his sue- ( ess wherever he goes. CLAUDE WITHROW Claude opene l his second year on our team hy changing positions from gaiard to end. He was sure to give a good account of himself no matter what sort of op])osition he was uj) against. He could snag passes from any angle and (dl proved his aliility. ROSCOE EORFAIAX (luard Although entering school late, Roscoe proved liis aliility hy making a regular herth on the eleven. He was deiiendahle to ojien a hole in the oiiponenls ' line. As a scrajijier he was in the middle of every iilay. Few plays ever ran through Roscoe more than once: then the at- tack was shifted. BUCK” NAXCE (luard Buck. playing his first year of prep-school foothall, showed up well in the lirst few games. Then he received an injury that kept him out for a time. He came hack in our lineup for the last two games and |iroved a tower of strength as a linesman. BIRDIE” VICK

: 11LT0X ABRAMSOX Half-Hack “Abie,” altliougli playing bis first year, proved bis aljiliiy to carry tlie ball. Wlienever a wide end run was called, ‘‘Aide” was given tbe ball, because of bis speed. Even tliongb be is short be proved a good defense man and was nsnally tbe first man down under punts. HARRY FORD Center Harry came to us as tbe Bristol “Wonder, and certainly proved worthy of tbi?, name. Har- ry ' s passing was exact and for an opposing team to try tlirough center was suicide. His gradua- tion this year will cause us to miss a good man on next year ' s team. WIXFRED PHLEGAR Tackle Pblegar was unable to play during last sea- s.in on account of an injury to bis band, but this season proved that be could bold bis man on any prep-sebool line. We are looking to having Winfred back next year. CHARLIE PITT End Charlie came back after an absence of three years and proved that Father Time bad over- looked him. He is still a great player and bis skill on tbe gridiron spelled defeat to many teams. Charlie will be lost to us after this year, but tbe memory of bis playing will al- ways remain.
