HOMER A PERRYMAN: Many coaches of the south have
passed their complimentary remarks on the leader of the Eagle squad;
he is given up to be one of the strongest guards in the south. On
the defensive, he is one of the deadly factors in his opponents' defeat.
On the offensive, his effective dribbling and passing have smashed
many a five-man defense.
Perryman gets 'em high or low and at all points of the court. His
characteristic overhead toss has pulled his team through many a
squeeze.
THAI) MURLEY: If from the side-lines some ambitious fan
should rise to his feet and ask, "Did you see that stern, hard-fighting,
fleet, invincible, determined guard, at all times playing a brilliant
game at his stationary position, and at times rushing them for a long
goal from mid-court?" you would know that he was speaking about the
low, heavy-set blond that carries the name of Thad among his many
friends. In few games did Thad fail to be one of the outstanding
players.
CARL MILLER: Humpty gained his name by the crouching of
his tall, lanky figure on the wing position of that old Eagle line.
Humpty had an uncanny ability to foresee the opponents' plays, and
many were the losses for which this bulldog tackler threw his an-
tagonists on the gridiron. Miller was chosen for all T. I. A. A. end
and also for end on the second Southwestern team. He was one of
the Eagles' most aggressive line men and will be back fighting them
again at his old position next year.
FRED SLACK: Not only is Fred a favorite of all students while
on the gridiron, but, because of his clever ways and his striking per-
sonality, he has a host of friends among the faculty and students.
Slack was the toe artist of the team. His effective punting stood out
especially in the contest with the Baylor Bears, when he outkicked one
of the Southwestern star booters. Also in this game it was Slack who
scored the first counter for the Eagles against a Southwestern eleven.
MAUD LARRIMORE: As a utility player, Maud stood out as the
most aggressive player on the girls' squad. Her ability to hold down any
forward at the guarding position and her crack shots from all parts
of her court while playing forward made her stand out as the star of
many games. Maud was the leader of the Eagle squad in all the
games this year. As captain she filled her position well, and next
year she will be back again fighting for the Green and White.Eighty-nine
