Then weave me a wreath for his tousled hair, He has Won that wreath, by all that's fair. He has plunged and tackled and played the game: He has gone in battered and limped out lameg He has lifted the varsity up to fame. He has made the varsity fast and strongg He has put the tackles where they belongg He has taught the forwards Where they were wrong And the sum of his aches and all his pains Is shown as the fleeting season wanes In the way the varsity backlield gains. Thus it has been for years and yearsg The varsity hero gets the cheersg The lot of the scrub is three long jeers. And that is the reason-foolish dream- That I nominate, though you laugh and scream, The scrub for the All-American team. JOHN KIERAN in New Yorlg Times. X ,.

Approximately 5,000 people gathered in lndianola to see the Sunflower Aggies lock horns with Leland for the championship of the Delta. We have no alibis. Leland won and more than paid us back for the drubbing we gave them last year. The Aggies were beaten by score but not by spirit. They met Webster A. l-l. S. with a renewed determination. But the hill boys proved too powerful for our Aggies. Again they tasted defeat, score 12 to 6. The sting of the two defeats was completely erased on Turkey Day. The Red and 'White again proved to be fast colors. The French Camp colors faded before the deluge of runs, plunges, and passes that the Aggies exhibited. There is no doubt that this was one of the best games of the season. A word of praise and appreciaticn is due the scrubs. Their untiring efforts helped make our team. With only their scl1col's interest at heart, they fcught the varsity day after -:lay, giving the best they had and malcing the varsity da the same. From all angles the i927 season was a great success. The season closed with the Red and White waving in triumph and the Aggies' crown shining with many stars. WADE KELLUM, HALFBACK Senior, Weigh! 158 A sjeed demon and a hard hitter who could always be depended on for a gain. His crowning day was in the Lhoctaw Aggie game. FLEET FIELDS, TACKLE funior, Weigh! 170 Hs ability was recognized wherever he played. He always gave his best from start to finish Europa is still wondering how one man can stop so many plays. CARLYLE LONG, GUARD funior, Weight 175 To opposing offense he is like a machine gun cutting the ramrs of unprotected troops. With his strength, he tears his way through the opposing line and gets his man. LEE T. FOX, GUARD Senior, Weigh! 160 Few and far between have been those who donned an Aggie uniform with more ability and sticability than Lee. He won his re: as a :asser and tackler. 4 6 S 4 5 Q r A - f' Us 2.4 si s ,ij fx xr-'gqgfxfx g 9 2 2 Ygyyx fx fe x 1 ' 1 Y- ff' X 'N Nf-Kb' fd ' fl . xfxfq ff N'-NF N N - r

, g,.,i, ETQOSDEC A -g5,,fg,.s ,K High School Basketball NDER the direction of our peerless coach, Ray H. Martin, the basketball team made a great record. Many teams can testify to the skillful passing and accurate goal throwing of the Aggie Five. On the defense, also, the Aggies were strong, as is shown by the inability of the opponents to score high. Brown and Allen, forwards, counted greatly in the good showing made by the Aggies. Their passing and goal throwing never failed to bring comments of admiration. Captain Sturdivant, six-foot center, was an asset in offensive and de- fensive playing. Pokie certainly was a living contrast to his name when he stepped out upon the court. Kellum, fast running guard, and Dunnaway, the Old Reliable, held down the guarding positions in an enviable Way. Couch and Hood as substitute forwards played excellent ball whenever called upon. Other subs of outstanding qualities were Fox M., Oden, Fields and Long. Besides these were other men who were just as loyal and just as faithful in practice as those making the regular team. S. A. H.
