A boy's ability, his sportsmanship, his c h a r a ct e r, and teamwork are the principal factors that decide the trophy winners. Raymond Keown wa s selected as the most valuab le back. Red was principally an end but was called on to play i.n the baclcfield during every game. He did practically all of the kick- ing, threw several touchdown passes, and made long runs both around end and through the middle of the line. He reached his peak in the last game of the season which was a g a in st French High School of Be aum ont and played excellent of- fensive and defensive ball. Lindsey Wallace was selectedasthe outstand- ing li.neman of the year. Left tackle was his po- sition, a.nd throughout the year his steady, hard playing, his teamwork, and the results which he got were outstanding. His sportsmanship and co- operation during workouts were also commend- able. In eve ry game he was up against bigger and more experienced opponents but fulfilled his position i.n every manner. Coach George Green didan excellent job with the Tigers this year both by coaching and by keep- ing them i.n high s p ir it s. jeff Addison was the assistant coach, but shortly after the season's end he began working with the Civil Service i.n Ab ilene.
