L. GREER Coach Coach Greer was always ready to do anything to help his team. Rayville athletics were not a success until Mr. Greer came. He put the Rayville foot- ball team on the map. Mr. Greer was not only a good coach but also a friend to all the boys. FLIM HATCH, FLAT RAINER Mascots Flim and Flat were always on the job. When there was anything to be done, they did not wait to be told; they went on and did it. They will be missed by all the boys next season. Page Seventy-eight CAPTAINS CAPTAIN ZELMA SUMLIN Football Captain Sumlin has made a fine captain in football this year. His decisions were always agreeable to his team mates. He would encour- age his team to do better and make the best of a team just as a cap- tain should. CAPTAIN LASLEY DOWNES Baseball Captain Downes was always on the job and led his team, which was a great help in practice. His team mates were always ready to do as he said. Captain Downes gets great credit for the working machine in base ball. CAPTAIN HERVEY MANGHAM Basketball Captain Mangham did not only make a good captain, but a leading player as well. His team knew that he would be as good player as captain.

His opponents would soon learn that vhey couldn ' t win the game over him. He was mentioned as an All State man. We hope to hear of Zelmar being a strong force on some freshman team next season. LASLEY DOWNES. Quarterback Lapley wa ' ; always ready to tell his teammates how the next gain was to be made. Lasley won the praise of the fans when he received the punt from Oak Grove in the first quarter and ran eighty-five yards for the first six points. Ho was judged by many critics to be the best foot- ball player on the team. He was good on line buck- ing, end runs, both passing and receiving passes and did most of the punting. DAVID MITCHELL. Full Back David was mentioned as an all-state ful back. He proved that his line plunging was better than any opponent he met throughout the year. Very few gains were made through the center of the line ov ?r David. We will always remember his playing in Wisner and Monroe games and especially the Oak Grove game. David ran thirty-five yards through Oak Grove ' s line for a touchdown. David is ihe next year ' s Captain. He will head the list for next year. L. C. O ' NEAL, Right Guard L. C. was a gridironer that his team-mates, his coach and fans liked to see on the gridiron. His mind was busy, he said nothing and di his best on both defense and offense. L. C. will make a good player on some college team next year. He was mentioned as an all-state guard. Lasley Downes goes through Oak Grove ' s line for an eight yard gain. David Mitchell is running interferente.

With preat easerness in that game he gets great credit for the victory. His famous tack- ling: and his powerful line plunging did not cease Ihioughout the season. George will be ready in full force next reason. He got an all state mention. JULIAN SPRUELL, Left Tackle Julian wasn ' t out of the game at any time. He played offensive left end in the hardest games. Julian made some of his best plays in the Oak Grove and Monroe games when he stopped line bucks and opened the line for D. Mitchell to make a thirty-five yard run for a touchdown. KELLY SPRUELL. Right Half Kelly was noted for his pass work and end run- ning. His clipping ability always will be remem- bered r.s he demonstrated in the Oak Grove game when he clipped the flashie quarterback off his feet as Downes completed his run. He gained his greatest fame as a football player when he tried to win the last victory for his Alma Mater in the Monroe game. NATHAN BUK. Center Nay is the center that we will all remember. He didn ' t make an error during the season in passing the ball back. He seemed to have enjoyed reaching down and catching those boys as they would try for a line buck. Nay would always keep his line men on their feet and made them work as no one else could do. Kelly Spruell makes a fifteen yard gain around Oak Giove left end. David Mitchell.

Left End When we think of Otto in football uniform, we think of a man that could stop an end run. He was ready for the whistle at any time. It would have been hard for his team to have gotten along without him. JAMES ABBOTT. RiRht Half James made a fine start in football this season as any coach could ask for until his shoulder was injured. He is a man that can be depended upon at any time to do his best. His best Kames were those of Delhi and Lake Providence. With his fireinK determination and overflowinK with eaRerness in every game will make any opponent watch every step. James will be on the list of the first call next season. TAYLOR RODGERS. Left Guard Tpylor was ready vo do his part either on offense or defense. Taylor didn ' t have much to say, but his team-matts knew that they could always depend on their left guard. He played a wonderful game in the Oak Grove game. A. C. CARROLL. Right End A. C. was one of the strongest defensive men on the team. Some of hjs best games were the Bastrop and Monroe games. He will be a member of the strong defensive force next year. He is a player that we can always depend upon. Lasley Downes is passing: the ball to Julian Spruell in the Oak Grove game Page Eighty-three , r7= ™ ii n i  [ iiil ] i ni]iiiui(ii|nin)iiiiiiiiiim miiiiiimiinimiuiiiiii]iiBiii i PALME TTO % tfrfr% JOE INEICHEN, Joe was waitine fcr the signal Right End and fair games. and win His vhe both practice determination and eagerness to do his part, play it game made him very valuable on his end of the line. Joe played his best in the Delhi game and also in the Oak Grove game when he stopped thos end runs and threw them for losses. He will be ready to start the first game next year. JOE GRICE CABUK. Left Half Back Joe Grice didn ' t get to play in any of the games on account of not being eligible, but he was always ready for practice and will be ready to carry the ball across or help in any play that might be called. Jo showed football ability far above some that were playing. Joe is expected to be ace high in the hornet ' s deck next season. JOHN RAINES MYRICK. Right Half John Range showed what he could do in the Delhi game. His defensive work was one of the outstrinding features of the game. We are expecting him on some college team next year. HERVEY MANGHAM, Left Half Hervey was noted for his passing both the sending and receiving end. He made most noticeable playing in the Crowville and Bastrop games. We hope to see him on acme college team next year. Clyde Wilson attempted a line buck but was stopped by George Mitchell Page Eighty ' four fl ' TT?

His powerful machine has proven to be able to hold his own in any game. Next year Hunter will be on the first string list. GORDON CAIN. Left End Gordon was always at practice and ready to do his best. He played his best game in the Mangham ganne. Gordon showed fine football ability for his first year. The re;;t of his football career will be on a college team. RICHARD McCONNELL, Center Richard may not get an honorable mention of some of the games, but he gets a great credit for winning a team. He is a man who was out every day and fought hard. There is no doubt but Richard will be on the first line-up in his senior year next season.
