" - > ,', HOLT-Quarterback rnlHARLIE was another of the unfortunates who was crippled in the _ early games of the season by having his knee nearly torn off. Charlie was as competent a quarterback as has ever donned a Terror uniform. Gladly would any of the school have borne Charlie's injury because his generalship was needed greatly in every game. Never before has the writer seen a man with so little weight hurl himself at a line with such force as does Charlie. The only way that he could be hurt was the way in which he was, and that was to almost tear him apart. His loss was keenly felt be- cause of his cheerfulness in face of difficulties, and because of his gen- eralship in face of great odds. STANLEY-Quarterback f1)lENIE" stepped into the quarterback position when Holt was injured, ~ and there he stayed with his cool (as well as hot) -headed, determined generalship, a determination that allowed no quarter was character- istic of his leadership. As for punting, the burden lay on him, and he did it with his usual sterling performance. When the pigskin came to him on the spiral, it soon connected with his toe and sailed its alloted sixty to sev- enty yards. There is no doubt that "Penie" is a backfield man par-excel- lence. LONG-Fullback IffIYMAN has won his way into the hearts of every football fan of West- ~ ern Maryland. He was a real warrior. It was his business to know football, and he did know it. It was his business tg._play football, and he did play it, and no other man who ever played football did it any better. To repeat any of the numerous good points of Lemon's playing would only cheapen my vocabulary, so I will let it go by saying that Lemon was the hardest fighter in a Terror uniform; a man who went down fighting whether h€: had two or twenty on him. A true football hero. SILLIN -Halfback fYl WONDER if any thing can be said here that has not been discussed ~ pro and con by papers far and wide. At any rate, nothing that could be said could describe Sillin adequately. The Baltimore papers say that he is the fastest backfield man in the State, and the possessor of the fiercest stiff-arm ever seen in Maryland; and these papers back up every word by placing him as half-back on the first All-Maryland team. Just a few high lights in Sillin'scareer in a Green and Gold uniform would cover quite a few pages; nevertheless, here are a few: A soul-stirring run through the St. Johns' entire line for 75 yards; breaking through any line for a gain at any time called upon; his might sprints and sledge-hammer drives; his tackling at any and all times, Can any more be said? KINSEY-Halfback ~ A.KE graduates this year. Need it be said that he will be missed? No OJ -rather let it be said that his four years of stellar football have placed , him on the immortal roll of Western Maryland College Athletics. Jak€: was the most consistent backfield player of the season, because of the fact that he was not incapacitated by injury during the whole season. and which fact bespeaks his worth. Jakie could hit and be hit and not show the effects, and when the call came for him to shove his form through a One Hundred and Sixty-seven
