INDIAN TEAMS OF THIS SEASON
HAVE BEEN CHARACTERIZED BY
A SUPERIOR FIGHTING SPIRIT
Several Indian Players
Recognition as Outstanding Football
Players of Their Association
The anxious nervous tension of the onlooking throne is relieved the
shrill whistle of the referee is heard no more the timekeepers gun has
sounded its last shot Thunksgiving (forgers have about recovered from
their indigestion and finis has been written after the last chapter of 1926
McMurry football history
In his first year as a skipper of a T 1 A A aggregation Coach R
M Medley undoubtedly produced the strongest combination which has
carried the Maroon and White colors on the gridiron during the entire four
) cars' football career of the Redskin athletes
The showing made by the Indians
during the season was practically as
much as was expected by cool headed
football experts after making a
thorough canvass of the stiff Indian
schedule at tho first of the season
A light team cannot be expected to
score a string of victories against tho
heaviest elevens of tho T I A A
class in tho state
Wldily heralded as a strong offen
sie club the Indians time and again
demonstrated that on the defense
they were no slouch and the fact
that two linesmen balntd gtntcvvldt
recognition in outstanding pigskin
artists is proof that Medley s front
wall as on an equal plant with his
backficld
T A Strong Offense
The slashing attack of tht Indian
Club failed to score on only three of
its opponents In the first game of
the year Texas Tech won off the In
dians by a 7 0 scort which was cliar
ly the rtsult of manipulations of the
football regulations Ihe team should
not be taken to task for this loss as
the Tech game should hao betn u
0-0 tie
Tho Daniel Baker Hill Billies diss
of the association chilled the Indian
offense with a much stronger attack
winch carried them through tho si a
son uiultftated in tht association In
a blinding windstorm which mad J it
impossible to attempt any overhead
w ik the Sehreiner Mountaineers
bumked the Indians Doubtless if the
fcanie hud betn nlaved on a still ua

energy the Indians could have placed
the San Antonio scalp under their
belt
The Indian performance this sea
son has not been marked so much by
individual starring as it was by a
Rmooth machine like action with a
tendency to cover the action of sUl
lar players in ono department with
equally scintillating work in some
other section of the g ime
Spectacular Linesmen

Murrj line may la claim to three of
tin most spectacular plavers of Abi-
lene Howard Miller Ovid Donald
son and Authonv Hunt hive received
much attention from sport vvnttrs by
their dash speed and ncny tackles
in their defensive plav
In an all T I A A team selcted
by Prexy Anderson of the biRne
News from 6 sets of outstanding
plavers in tho opinion of the same
number of T I A A coaches Miller
was named as guard on the all T I
A second team He consistentlv
breaks through the line and to tackle
for losses and his never weakening
fight well earned htm this berth
Coaches Blair and Runsome of Danu 1
Baker rated Miller as first string
guard in thtir all confereiiie silcit
ion while Coach J W Jones if Sam
Houston classed him among the out
st wiling pi ers of the assi nation
Ovid Donaldson received honorable
mention as all conferenie end He has

times downed the opposition for loss-
es and the cry of the Billie fans to
' Get No 30 ' was silenced only after
he was knocked out in the melee
Reserve strength answers the qucs
tion of wliertln the superiority of the
back field over the line lay Nearly
two complete backfields were avail
able to the Indian mentor while such
was not true of the boys on the front
line
Mitchell and Hale
Mitchell and Hale vie for first hon-
ors in the Indian baekfield Mitchell's
passing and defensive work give him
a slight edge over Hale but the line
plunging and the ability of Halo to
pick openings made by the line give
him an advantage but it is unneces
sary to say that these two bore the
brun of thi work behind the line
I'at Murphy nbly demonstrated his
superiority as a field general in the
Tech game but this veteran of many
football battles had old injuries which
when rehurt kept him out of the ma
jonty of the Indian games this season
Doubtless if he had been able to play
the enth-e season he would have re
ceived more than honorable mention
as an all T I A A man The Daniel
Baker mentors named him as captain
and h ilfback on their second all T I
AsA selection
Hill a Passer
Ciptun Wallace Hill developed in
to a pass hurler that made the Indian
iierml attack feared fur and wide
tor short off tackle plavs and line
plunges when only a few arils wire
needed Hill was a consistent ground
gainer His field generalship was
marred by onlv a few errors
Bob Tharp is probably the most
promising of the new backficld nun
Beeler Brown is likely to develop into
a stellar quarterback with a ytar or
more experience Hodges nnd
Ledbetter played their usual depend
able tvpe of game this season led
better was handicapped by injuries a
good dial of the time
