The entire Grove team has shown
a remarkable improvement in form
during the last two weeks. In the
line, Morgan, at the pivotal position,
has been able to hold his own with
the best players he has met. Alex
ander at left guard has learned to
throw his weight under his opponents
and few gains have been recorded
over his position, Captain Ezell at
right guard played a good game and
repeatedly hurled his opponents back.
Braswell and Vaughn held down left
tackle and although they received the
brunt of the opponents attack played
good game. Claxton at the other
tackle took care of his position and
broke up several plays. Karnes and
Humphreys on the ends were in every
play and several times snagged the
runner before he got started. In
the backfeld Dinwiddie at full held
down his old position with the same
fight and pep that he showed last
year. Moody and Bayer at halves
did their share of tackling and are
showing good interference. Dunlap
at quarter is speedy and played q
