CARLOS SPRINGFIELD if 7k9 Coach Carlos Springfield, our popular basketball and baseball coach, graduated from Milligan College at Johnson City, Tenn- essee, and received his B.S. de- gree there. He played football, basketball, and baseball at Milli- gan, and he also played three years of professional baseball with Selma and Montgomery. He coached at Lamar High School at Jonesboro, Tennessee, for nine years before coming to Red Bank, where he turned out some good baseball and basket- ball teams. Since Coach McCoy has gone to the Navy, Mr. Springfield has had the arduous task of coaching both basket- ball and baseball by himself, aside from his regular duties as a teacher. The rise of athletics at Red Bank is due partly to the work of Mr. Springfield, who is always an inspiration to his boys. Nw-f '- .aa MARION PERKINS RITA THOMPSON Cllilllllll Coach Marion Perkins, head coach since the induction of George McCoy into the Navy, deserves plenty of laurels for bringing the football team through a successful season. Coach Perkins is well qualified for the iob of coaching as he coached five years at Tyner be- fore coming to Red Bank. As a boxer,.Coach Perkins made quite a record. He fought 200 times, winning 196 bouts and gaining a draw on the other four. He was the Southern A. A. U. Light- weight Champion in l93O. Coach Perkins is a graduate of the University of Tennessee, where he received his B.H. degree. While at Tennessee he was on the track, basketball, and foot- ball teams, and played semi-pro baseball during the summer. He was recognized as one of the best defensive backs in the Southeastern Conference in l936 and l937. He also made the second Southeastern Con- ference Team those two years.

ALBERT ARCHER BOB CRUTCHER JIM JUMPER Captain CHARLES ATCHLEY GENE FRIZZELL i i Fll0'l' Last August 7, a group of about thirty-five en- thusiastic boys reported for their first day of football practice. Among this group there were a few re- turning lettermen, but, for the most part, they were green and inexperienced. Under the expert guid- ance of Coach Marion Perkins they soon developed into a well-conditioned, smoothly-working unit. At the end of a successful season the team had a total of six victories against fcur defeats. Red Bank was the winner of the T. V. C. Conference for the second straight year, and acqu'red another trophy for the trophy case. In this conference the team scored a total of eightyeeight points against zero for their opponents. They also did well in the City Prep League with seven victories and three defeats. The success of the season is due to both the high spirit of the team and the coaching ability of Coach Perkins.
