JEROME B. BUSBY
End
Busby was doped to be the best end in the conference, but he had a hard time getting started because of a sore side.  He is tall with big hands and can catch passes.  He is a menace to any team when we take to the air route.  Watch him next season with the Wildcats.

JAMES "STREAK EVANS
Half
Evans played his last conference game with the Wildcats.  We will all mourn the loss of Evans.  He was easily the best defensive half in the conference and could catch passes, carry the ball and interfere to perfection.  In the pinches Evans could be found ready to deliver the goods.

HARRY K. BRIGGS
Center
In the days of yore, Briggs was the best center in the game.  This year Briggs got a chance to play the best football of his career because of an injury received by Combs, center in the Tuskegee game.  He rightfully deserves to be called the "Fighting Skeleton."  He is a senior.


SHERMAN HARRIS
Half
Harris, the phantom of the gridiron, was one of the best offensive backs we had.  He was shifty and fast.  He was at his best against Straight College of New Orleans, La.  We will miss him next year.  He usually prepared the foe for the slaughter crew.  He is also a Senior.

WILLIAM HILL
Half
Hill is the punter extraordinary from Ardmore, Oklahoma.  This was Hill's second year with the Wildcats.  He has proved himself a competent punter on all occasions.  He was at his best as a ball carrier against the Bishop Bears.  This lad should be a great asset to any Coach's team next season.

JESSE J. HIGGS
Fullback
Higgs is a 200 pounder.  He has the drive of a steam engine.  Any one who has tackled Higgs once will consider things thoroughly before tackling him again.  He is also a valuable man to use in the forward wall.  Next season might see the big fellow playing tackle because of his adaptness in that position.  If that should be the case, look out backs, for he is rough and ready.

PERCY C. PARKS
Guard
This lad hails from East Chicago, Indiana.  Parks is known for his fight.  He is very valuable because of his ability to run interference.  We can depend on him in the pinches, and that is the type of man the world needs.  He has played his second year with the Wildcats.

EDWARD C. GRIFFIN
End
Griffin was the most dependable end of the conference.  He never missed his takle and was in there on the defense like a demon.  His uncanny method of diagnosing plays marked him as a veteran, although this was his first year to play varsity football.  The Wildcats were able to gain more ground to the left this year than ever before because of Griffin.

Transcription Notes:
Why are people removing the formatting I included when I initially transcribed these pages? I included notations as per the instructions showing the separate columns and italics which have now been removed by someone else. I'm putting them back in. Formatting had not been re-entered at the time I reviewed this page. Although the formatting notes are not present, the current transcription is accurate in all but the designed layout of the information so I have marked this page as complete.
