Halfback Williams To Lead Hampton In 1927
By James B. Clarke
Hampton Institute, Va.-William D. Williams, halfback on the Blue and White machine was chosen by his  teammates to succeed William E. Lee as captain. Williams hails from the far West, Tulsa, Oklahoma, and started his football career in the Seaside Camp back in the season of 1922. His dogged determination and natural ability as a football player have placed him high in the hearts of football fans and his teammates. Although it is probable that Captain-elect Williams will not have more than four other vets beside himself to start next year's team, he is quite confident that the Blue and White will again put up a strong fight for the championship. 
Six of the regular line-up will probably not be back in uniform nest year. Graduation and expiration of playing time will take James L. Thatcher, George W. Davis, Joseph Spencer Ruffin, Harry Banks, Reuben A. Mundy, and Theodore R. Robinson.
The first eleven were awarded the Hampton "H" for their participation in the coveted number of games and gold footballs as an indication of being a member of the 1926 championship football team. The men receiving the "H" were: Charles McGowan, left end, Kansas City, Mo.; William E. Lee, left tackle and captain, Petersburg, Va.; Theodore R. Robinson, left guard, Norfolk, Va.; Reuben A. Munday, center, Wyoming, Ohio; Harry Banks, right guard, Seaview, Va.; Joseph Spencer Ruffin, right tackle, Washington, D. C.; George W. Davis, right end, Brookneal, Va.; George E. Byrd, quarter-back, Wilmington, N.C.; William D. Williams, Captain-elect and left half-back, Tulsa, Oklahoma; James L. Thatcher, fullback, Kansas City, Kansas; and Elmer A. Baker, right halfback, Phoebus, Va.
