iltbz mulinburkp FOOTBALL QContinuedj Erwin next journeyed to Emory, Virginia to play the Emory and Henry Junior Varsity. Erwin played a wonderful game by defeating them 43-0. Erwin next met her rival, Johnson City. The game was played before a large crowd of fans both of Erwin and Johnson City. Erwin won 20-0, minus three of the regular players, Copeland at end, Smith at full, and Babel at quarter. Erwin then played Central High of Knoxville for the championship at Knox- ville and won 14-0, thus having an undisputed claim for the State Championship. - There weer no individual players on the team. Bailey, at left end, show skillful playing and much is expected of him next year. Harrison, the blonde giant, at left tackle. was a valuable asset to the team. He is a stellar lineman and did much to strengthen the forward wall. Cacy, at left guard, showed some real football and was capable of holding his position. Dennis, at center, was a bear on defense and his passing on offense was accurate. His kicking on the kickoff was very helpful to the team. Baughman, at right guard, was never questioned as to his ability. He held his position down capably. Wohlford, at right tackle, showed some real skill in that position. They always stopped when he hit them. He was chosen captain for 1925. Copeland, at right end, was a shark at snaring passes, and was noted also for his drop-kicking. Shull, at half, showed real football ability, he is speedy, well built, and knows the game. Meredith, at half, displayed some good work. He will be back next year and much should be expected of him. He should develop into a good punter. Babel at quarter piloted the team well. He is a consistent player and a student of the game. He displayed exceptional ability as a field general. Captain Barron, at full and half, played some wonderful football. He was a bear on defense and was always in the best of form. He is fast, a good kicker, a line plunger, and has a good knowledge of the game. Smith, at full back, exhibited some of the best punting ever seen by a high school player, he was a good line plunger, and his passes are accurate. Pa Weaver was an all-around player. He started in at half and was then shifted to guard, then tackle, then end. He is a'team in himself. McNabb, at guard, in his first season of football, showed some real fight. He has three more years, he should develop into a good player. Those who showed ability as players and who were faithful to practice were: Erwin, Phetteplace, Epperson, Belcher, Bailey, Brandt, Duncan and Wright. lNIuch credit is due Coach Red Higgins for the team produced last season. In spite o fthe fact that twenty-five men were out at the first of the season, Coach developed a championship team. ' Eight players graduate this year, but there is an abundant amount of material in the school-so here's hoping that Erwin has another championship team next year. Page Sixty -three
