qc . U X A A A -N XA A QV, 'af axqfpfqfl Avwwlw JEROME JOHNSTON CGuardJ- Hoot played his last year for W. H. S. this year. It will be a loss indeed to lose h'im. He played a part of almost every game and nevelr failed. to make a good showing. He made his letter the past three years. Hoot is a good sport, always ready and willing and lights until the Whistle ends the game. He served one year as Captain of the Tigers and we regret to lose a man of his typev. GEORGE SMARR CForwardJ- Bud has been our stand-by for several years and he never fails us. His Hoor work is excellent and he is a sure shot. Although failing to land a regular berth this year, Smarr was used as an alternate at forward and always delivered in the pinches. This was Bud's last year as a member of the Tiger quintet and we all mourn his going. MASON FRENCH CForWardJ4f'Red was a good reserve, always ready to step in. Only a Sophomore and he made two letters. Grit and untiring effort will make Red a real player later. His work is good now but size and age will help him out next year. Reid never failed to make his one basket immediately after he was put in. We expect some great work from him in the next two years. VVILMER ROSS fGuardJ-One of the most important cogs in this year's ma- chine was Ross. He was fast and deceptive and a source of considerable worry to -his opponents. Two features of his playing were getting the ball from his opponent and getting his share of the goals. He has earned three letters and will be back next year to make another one. Ross, with our popular t'Gunner, will be the co- captain of the next year's team. vw- 4. sr bb ooo bl Q on -Afslfjfghbiaisns. fsfixfbls AAA., Afbffghb M Page Forty-six

His team depended on him for good leadership and he delivered it with good team work and goal shooting. His Hne spirit and fight spurred his team to give their best efforts. He made his letter this year for the third time. He was high point man of the season having made 157 points. Finishing his work for W. H. S., John leaves a record of which he can be proud. LEMOYNE SHELTON fForwardJ-- Baby is just a Sophomore and one most valuable men. He is fast on the floor and a good shot. With a smile face he Wins the admiration of both teams and the onloo-kers. Baby's to cage goals from all angles made the Tetley-Shelton combination the most combination in this section. of our on his ability feared RUBE OGLESBY CCenterJ-Rube has one more year to make history for the Tigers. Rube played this year under a handicap. In all games his opponelnt was much taller than himself, but he made a very good showing, nevertheless. This is Rube-'s second letter. He was the second highest scorer this year. Rube was a steady, cool and conservative player and big things are expected of him next year. BILL SETTLES fGuardJ-A hard worker, a consistent player, a brilliant floor man,-all in all--that's Gunner , He was a superior defensive guard and also one of the leading scorers. The main feature of his playing was getting the ball off the opponents's back board. Gunner was one of the most popular boys on the squad and was elected co-captain for 1930-'31, He has earned two letters and will be able to earn two more. ' VY ww NVYIQVQ!

He had never had a chance to see a basketball game before he came to high school, nevertheless he is one of the most enthusiastic rooters at every game. Dec. 10, 1929. Dear Maw: . Well, us Tigers down here at Warrensburg opened up our season of inn door IS basket ball and we beet Holden 35 to 18. Boy now that was some game. Say maw, 19 I never did se sech a game. Them guys came rushin' out on the court with there s. P. J's on. CI don't expect you know what these P. J's are but these boys up here is an Warrensburg always dress up in them at nites.J Then a boy in short pants run out and blowed a police whistle and what did them guys do but pull off them Ln P. J's right their before us people and you ought to saw those loud underwear them guys had on. Them Holden guys had on blue and we'ens had on red. They tried to see which one could put the ball in the basket most but the basket never did get rs full. Once one of them blue guys smashed a red guy in the face and the boy blowed h that whistle and said, You can't do that, and then the red boy tried to put one in d with out being knocked down. During the first three quarters them Tigers wuzent ahed as much as I thought they ought to have been but during the last quarter they ie . really put that ball through the basket.
