the Clemson Centre game Saturday

paper said of the work of Wray:
There were several men who stood
out prominently. At end Wray was
demon on defense. Wray stopped
many a centre rush and throughout
the afternoon was mixed up in almost
every play" Carter Latimer writes In
the Greenville Piedmont about the
work of Wray: 'Then there was re-
vealed in wray, Clemson's right end,
power on defensive play. He perform

every punt and once he recovered the
ball when ? the wizard CoVington
fumbled Turnipseed's spiral on the 25
