I-le is also numbered among those expected to return in '28. HENRY MURRAY WHITE I End I Playing a fast and hard-tackling game, Burk White held down the wing position in an able and expert manner. We regret that White will not be with the Lemon and Black next year, as the team will feel the loss of this splendid end. JAMES WELLMAN ROSS Tackle n I Jim, a member of last year's squad, filled the tackle berth with sterling ability and the whole student body was glad that he earned the coveted monogram. CHARLES WHIPPLE. - an - C J 7- ,T uar I5 This member of the Whipple combination made , ' ' Q a hrm link in the line and gave a mighty fine exhibition.

Under his ahle leadership, -our line again and again stood up under terrific attacks from heavier opponents. To him is due the honor of best linesman of '27. JOHN PALMER ARMSTRONG I Substitute Halfback Buck played hard and fast although his lack of weight kept him from making his monogram. We hope to see Armstrong on the varsity next year. ,I -1- J 5: GEORGE PATTON ROSS Quarterback Staff proved the theory that hoof ball is a game of brains instead of just brawn. Ross was the power behind the throne, hurling powerful attacks against our enemies and managing the eleven in a most'wdrkmanlike fashion. Ross is to be complimented on his generalship. ROBERT THOMAS WENGLER . Halfback Bob won the praise of the fans and players by his spectacular runs around the ends. It was on these ,plays that he first exhihited that' speed which won him acclaim on the basket ball court. MP-a ,e r-'HL r A 3

Kiddie proved the main bulwarl-t of the baclclield and also a consistent ground-gainer. Kidwell pushed over 'our two touchdowns against V. E. S., and repeatedly tore through the enemy line for gains during they season. We, lose him next year and predict a brillianticareer in college for him. 1 JAMES STUART BARNES Subslilule Center SL l..ouis 'failed to respond to the' first call for recruits but was taken from the ranks of the junior Varsity into the regular line. HUGH COLLISTER ' Cenler Despite his inexperience, Dainty put up a line game and we view with sorrow the fact that he will not remain with R.-M. A. SIM ARTHUR ABBEY Sulzsliluic Quarterback ' . One of the hes! performances of the season was given by Sim. His inexperience was the only factor which prevented him from holding a place on the regulars, WILLIAM MCELROY I Unmy Backfeld Coming to us from Pilslaury, Mac arrived too late in the season to wear the monogram but we wish it were in our power to .award the insignia to this sturdy little hack.
