either physically or in knowledge of
the game.”
Underwood began his study of civ
il engineering at the Texas A. and M.
three years ago. Before entering col
lege he had played ball with Houston
High School two consecutive seasons.
Thinking he stood no chance of mak
ing the squad he did not venture into
football history until this year. Had
he not sustained injuries in practice at
the first of the season he might have
had opportunities of demonstrating his
better values as a half. In Houston
and in the S. W. U. game at Kyle
Park he played brilliant and errorless
games. His gaines through the lines
were good, in fact above an average,
for a player of his weight and who is
appearing against a real foe for the
first time. His defensive work was
well done, experience only being nec
essary to make this point perfect. He
plays with vim and determination
from beginning to end. In him we see
one of the most promising young,
lightweight, backs of the South.
“Dutch” Vesmirosky has the quali
ties of a good back. Hailing upon us
from Bryan he needs no introduction.
Before entering A. and M. he was the
favorite of the Bryan High School
team. Though the team were not
champions three years ago it was not
due to the playing of “Eddie.” With
parctice and the coaching of Charlie
and Andy he will develop into one of
the best punters in the state. Not
only a football player is this jovial
fellow, but he handles the baseball
and bat with no little skill. In his
future the writer sees one of the best
developed athletes his size attending
college at the present time.
The man who starred on the Dallas
High School team two years ago, and
whose ball playing did more to win
the High School’s record than that oC
his colleagues, is known to the insti
tution floating the red and white of
victory as Tyree Bell. The first year
he spent with the Parmer lads he vis
ited the athletic field with other
“Pish” and' looked on at the practic
ing squad. Thinking they were out
of his class and not realizing the pos
sibilities of development under the
direction of physical instructors, he
concluded best not to attempt a trial
with the husky Southwestern champi
ons—for such they proved to be ere
the close of the season. Before the
suits had been turned in he realized
how men more awkward had helped
make the Southwest stare upon our
first eleven in amazement. This Sep
tember he entered upon his usual du
ties and remarked to some of his class
mates that he was going to join the
scrubs and help develop a team. To
his surpise and amazement he learns
after November 24th that he has cre
ated quite a bit of excitement, and
upon reflection wonders how he
played in so many games. Could he
have witnessed himself from the ca
det’s seat, who was a spectator of his ord he has a bright future in the
playing, he would have seen one of football world,
the best first year halves of the Lone
Star state. Yes, he will be in his old R - J - Grissom a recruit from Fort
shoes next year, bucking, kicking,
throwing and winning as usual.
Our assistant manager, Imboden,
Worth, has proved himself able to
stand the pace of college football in
Texasc. “Griss” was the star half
back on the fast Baylor team last year,
and it was on this account that he was
proved to be “Johnnie on the spot” in ■ barred from all games played under
every respect. Whether it was the ; the rules of the Texas Association. He
coach, manager, or president of the : will be eligible next year and it is
athletic council wanted help, or the | e x P ected that he wil1 be a valuable
asset to the squad. His guard work
against Tulane brought out much com
ment from all quarters and from all
player needed water, Imboden was
ever prepared to meet their desires in
the most unerring manner. Last sea
son he manifested interest in every
form of athletics. He was a frequent
visitor and assistant at the park. Be
ing so enthused with the development
and welfare of all teams he attracted
\
the attention of the Athletic Council.
This year he was voted assistant man-
reports he will prove to be a big fac
tor when it comes to fighting for the
: laurels of the all Southwest next year.
I Slayton, an eighteen year old 5 foot
| 7 1-2 inch half, has won the admiration
i and confidence of the cadet corps by
i illustrations of his cool-headed and
spectacular playing. The Austin Col-

last year. His first football knowledge
was obtained at A. C. and with this
i year’s training under Moran he prom

in the state next year.
Throughout the season he has mani
fested the same interest and is to be
congratulated 1 upon the manner in
which he performed his duties.
Dogie Ward! That .name strikes
terror in the hearts of every hack-
field in the Southwest today; for they
truly know from experience that he is
a “terror” when it comes to breaking
up intetferences and getting down un
der the kicks. “Doggie” hails from
Beaumont, but he obtained his early
football knowledge at Allen Academy,
playing on that team for two years,
later he went to Baylor, and while
there he developed succh a mania for
“breaking up plays” that he soon be
came the favorite on the Baylor squad.
Following this year in the same path
which won for him such a reputation
last year “Dogie” played his usual
fast and brilliant game. It was “Do-
gie” who started the scoring against
’Varsity by gicking a beautiful drop
kick from the thirty yard line, start

McDowell, better known as “Good
Old Mac,” was once a football hero
on the Taft High School team. This
is his first pear r on the squad, last
season being devoted entirely to track
work. Though light for a center he
has all other desirable qualities. With
him in his old position next year we
expect to see the ball handled by a
player of distinction.
It is with regret we part with Pierce
this year. Owing to his parents ob-
ecting he has never before been on the
squad. In his several trials he has
proven to he a good, all around player
for a first year man. During his high
school days he tried to play with
Thornton, and to hear others talk he
did play. This was the limit of his

third victory over her rival of many , ex P erience until this y ear ’ except the
years’ standing. “Doggie” will he back
next year and we are all assured that
he will continue his good work on the
gridiron.
New among the ranks of the foot
ball stars of Texas is our husky right
guard, Homer Lambert, of San Anto
nio, Texas. This is his first year of
college football and it is needless to
say that he has “made good” for he
has developed into one of the strong
est defensive guards in the Southwest
and with a bit more experience great
things are expected of him. “Wrinkle”
as he is called, began his football ca
reer on the “corner lots” of San An
tonio; later he played with the San
Antonio High School team and also
the fast Peacock College team which
won fame as the champions of the
interscholastic class in Texas. It was
while playing with this team that he
attracted so much attention from all
the coaches in Texas. Lambert has
three more years of college football
before him, and with his present rec-
playing he did on C company’s team
last year. If he could devote another
year at A. and M. we are confident a
marked improvement would he made
upon his good playing.
Last season Bogan was a Peacock
star. Being exceedingly light for an
A. and M. team, his chances to prove
his ability were few. Judging from
the showing he made upon the field
in the games he participated in, Bogan
is an excellent light player. Though
he did' not make a letter he says that
he is not discouraged for he at least
aided in developing the best team in
Texas.
Armstrong is a large, husky, San,
Antonio high school man. He has
been one of the faithful scrubs, al
ways eager to oppose the “bigger hus
kies” on the first team and render all
the practice possible for their bet
terment. If he continues his foot
ball work a reward is awaiting him
before the close of his college days.
