tackles of importance. This was his
first year anq lie will probably be back
next season.
i Marion Fox, a second string man dur-

Cedric Sizemore, a light, young play-
• r. who showed much pluck during

He made the team after one day’s
workout.
Beason Hester, who played his first
football Ibis year and who showed abil-
ity as both a back-field man and lines-
man.
Olin Bates, rather light but a plucky
center. He was good on returning
punts and played his best during the
Waxahachie game.
William Jarrell, fast halfback and
reckoned as one of the most promising
high school players in the slate His
punting anq passing were remarkable
for a high school boy and he was a
safe runner with- the ball. He starred
in the Waxahachie game and again in
that with Dak Cliff.
Bill Myers, opposite halfback, play-
ed a good game the whole season, be-
ing strong in plunging the line. He
made a large number of touchdowns
during the season,
Roy Huffhines, a tower of strength,
and a formidable tackle and backfield
man. Huffy was a hard tackAr and
good line plunger and featured in the
Oak Cliff and Waxahachie games.
Edwards, one of the most promising
men on the team, who was a fierce line
plunger, fast man gqperally and one
of the host men on the team. He had
tough luck with a broken collar bone
and was out of several games.
Simeon Castleberry, a veteran of the
1916 squad, who entered High school
too late to take part in but few games.
He was a safe guard and was counted
an exceptional player.
