SLATER HIGH SCHOOL THE LEGENDE THE FOOTBALL MEN Richard Dick Nuckles CCapt.j Q.B. 1475 Richard was a worthy Captain who held the esteem and respect of his team-mates and was a real leader and football general. Richard was placed on the All-Conference team and was honored even more by being selected as Captain of the same. Dick was one of the best all around football players in the conference. L. W. Dub Meier CcenterD 1665 L.W. was another All-Conference man and he was a decided favorite for the place. L. W. held the respect of his opponents. Meier's place at center will be hard to fill. ' Alfred Galloping Cameron Cendl 1555 Alfred won a place on the second All-Conference team. He played his position well and could be relied upon to take care of his assignment. John Sherman BQ 1645 John was one of the hardest line plungers in the Conference and should have been placed on the mythical eleven. John's weight and speed made him hard to stop. Harold Bacon Clark BQ 1445 Harold was good on returning punts and was a shifty back, could find the holes opened by the line and was an excellent passer. Kenneth jete Jeter Cguardl Capt. Elect 1535 He made the second All-Conference team and was a guard of no mean ability. Kenneth will lead the Wildcats next year. George Kansas Lyon CguardD 1665 George didn't say much, but action speaks louder than words. He was placed on the All-Conference team. George handles his man like he handles a piece of pie for he eats them up. Henry Rit Johnson CtackleD 1555 Henry is a fast aggressive man and gets down fast on punts and runs good interference. He has two more years to play. Dawes Stipes CendD 1355 What Dawes lacks in size he made up in scrap. He will be missed next year. Clinton Diddle Tennell CtaCkleD 1505 He was a strong tackle and knew his position, and was a willing worker and an earnest player. S. T. Yowell CH. BQ 1445 S. T. will be remembered for his ability to take passes out of the air and was a good interference man. Cecil Six-spot Iman CH. BQ 1295 Cecil is small, but quick and shifty. Watch him next year. Arthur Deis BQ 1345 Arthur is another man who will bear watching next year. He did some good interference and defensive work this year. Much credit is due the rest of the squad who helped make a winning team, so here's to Brame, Brock, Cheney, DeLong, Dodson, Flynn, Garnett, Giger, Gordon, Grinsley, Kirby, Kleine, Nickell, Pollard, Randall, Smith, Sweney, and Stechman.

15251-'Y-U l ' ' SLATER HIGH SCHOOL THE LEGENDE GIRLS' BASKETBALL OF 1928-1929 Girl's Basket Ball practice started in earnest in the middle of November of '28. This was the first time for five years that Slater had a girl's team. Their schedule was not made out at the same time the boys was, and only four games were played. Miss Jessie Page, the coach, wisely saw fit to use this year as one of practice and experience, thus enabling the girls to start in the season of '29 perfectly fit. Fayette was a hard team for the girls to come up against first. Especially as Fayette has had a girls team for a number of years. And this certain team had not lost a game so far nor so short. They played fast basket ball and soon piled up the score against the Slater Girls. All the following weeks our girls practiced so as to show Fayette a better game when they came here and they succeeded splendidly. The game was good, both teams playing fast Basket Ball but Slater was outclassed by the visiting team 3644. The next game was played with Glasgow at Slater on Feb. 12th. It was a fast and rough game. First the home team and then Glasgow taking the lead. In the last half Glasgow outscored Slater, and the game ended 20-13 in favor of Glasgow. On Feb. 22nd Slater went to Glasgow. The girls played better than they had at any time in the season. Both teams playing fast, rough basket ball. Although the girls lost 2848, Slater was proud of herself.
