Stars of the Gridiron WENDELL PICKENS, Fullback-Captain Pick was a consistent line plunger and could make a hole where there wasn't any. He always put his best into a game and never gave up. He was at his best in the Cisco game here where he stopped every line plunge. ALAN McCRARY, Manager . When we began looking for a manager, Alan was finally chosen unanimously. He worked hard in getting our schedule for which we are very thankful. He always had the interest of his team first. V. W. HAMPTON, Left Back Hamp did exceptionally good work in the back field at the beginning of the season but when he was shifted to the line, he showed us that he was the greatest iinesman that we had. JOHN HUDSON, Right Back. Johnnie was a champion when it came to passing and drop kicking. And he was just as good on his long end runs. Johnnie was light but he dealt many a tackler misery. He did good work in the Burleson game. CHARLIE TRIGG, Left Back . This was Trigg's first year of football but he picked up the game quickly. He showed his football ability when he made just four touchdowns against Thorp Springs CJ. C. BARKLEY WEAVER, Quarter Buck was the lightest but the strongest man on the team, even though he played part of the season with a broken arm. He starred all the time but did even better in the Decatur game when he practically played all the game by himself. HUBERT JONES, Right Tackle. Jonesie was a tackler that was hard to beat. He was a man seldom heard but often felt. Only a few times did he come up without a tackle. He showed up especially well in the Cisco game. HOMER BROWN, Center. Brown, our lengthy center did exceptionally well for a man in his first year. He could always be depended upon when it came to forcing to the backfield. He broke up many passes on the defensive. RAYMON SWOFFORD, Right End. Chub was the only letter man back from last year. He was a demon on end and was always a sure and hard tackler. In commendation of his good work he was elected captain for '23, O'NEAL DENDY, Left Guard. Lemon Drops was a man who never gave up his fight. He showed his ability in the game with Burleson when he repeatedly got a tackle. He was unamiously elect- ed skull practice leader for next year. AUBREY LA FORGE. Left End. Loch-invar seldom ever missed a good pass. He always hung to them when they came ln reach. He was very good at breaking up long end runs. La Forge snowed up best in the Jacksboro and Cisco games. JIM NELSON, Left Tackle. . Hog Ifoot's greatest pleasure and pastime was breaking through the enemy's line :rid getting the tackle. Big Jim was a hard man to stop when he started open- ing o es. GRANT BRADSHAW, Right Guard. Brad was always doing his part. He was good at opening holes and also good on the defense. He will be back next year and the school is expecting even more of him. He played best in the Jacksboro game. CHUB: By Gony that's right!

Although not having very good prospects for a winning team, in the end, more was accomplished than wes expected. There were but two pitchers, but it was soon evident that Hudson and Lucas could easily do the work. On the receiving line were Weaver, who showed up extra well for a first year mang Trigg on first, who worked the best of all, especially in his hit- tingg Ford on second, who was a wonder both on the base and with the sticky and Pete McClesky, who was finally chosen for third. In the field were three men who covered it at all times. Bloody sacked every ball that came into his territory, right field, and both H. Jones and Massey were just as good. With this line-up, the team won four out of six games played.
