FOOTBALL 1936
With grim determination the football squad began practice in September with hopes of giving its opponents a real fight. Hard practice, team work, and the splendid training from Coaches Giles and Howard proved invaluable to the squad. Although the season was fairly unsuccessful in the eyes of the scoreboard, considering the game only the season was a success because it taught the boys the lesson it is meant to teach. "BE MEN".
FOOTBALL SEASON OF 1936
Willard Phipps, one of our toughest and best players, whom will be missed greatly next year. Birchell Helton, quarter-back. The highest score for the Eagles with 34 points. His splendid cooperation with the team won a place for him as a leader as well as a real football player. John Hughes--Half-back, scored 7 in 1936 season. Next year we hope he will give a real exhibition of college football. Tom Elliott, Guard, showed the side-liners what a fellow with the stuff can do. He will be out for next year's lineup. Lee Land, Tackle, proved to the boys that a few extra pounds can be of a great advantage, especiallly for a tackle. Flem Shoupe, Back, gave a good account of himself in team work and helped the rest of the squad to keep going. Elmer Hall, Guard, will be back next year to back up his and Black Star's athletic record. Harold Moses, End, discovered that teamwork, faithful practice, and "I can take it" are the essentials for a football player. Hohn Caddelll, End, has two more years to add touchdowns to the Eagles. Clemo Dugger, Tackle, surprised the whole community by showing us that he was a real go getter and a football player. Paul Dunn, the boy who played nearly every position and could be relieve upon. Arnold Walters, Center, although small in stature and slightly under weight in comparison with the rst of the squad, always came up with his part. Jess Caddell, Tackle. J. M. Kelly, Back. Others who were out and will be back next year are Henry Carter, Alonzo Golden, and Bob Reynolds. Three boys who came out and were always there to practice, and will give some others some competition next year are Warren Elliott, Lemual Burnette and Clarence Reed.
