If it wasnt one of the four who was in trouble it would be another. It was like that all through college. And now college was oven We had to go somewhere else for trouble, didnt we The four were Honeybee, Johnny Barleycorn, Eel Thompson and me Jim Price. Johnny and I roomed together. He was a big, husky guy but he didnt play football. He was king of the campus. He had more friends than anybody that ever lived. He would grin at you, and you would love him. That was Johnny. Honeybee wasnt bigger than a grasshopper. But he was one hundred and twenty pounds of dynamite. He played quarter and ran us all ragged. Eel got his name from the way he could wiggle through any line-up you might mention. He and I were the backs, but it was Eel that made all the touchdowns.

We got stuck at Camp Jones, in Arizona, along with about twenty thousand others, for months. There were Regular Army regiments there, and we got kidded plenty. They looked down on us, naturally. So we didnt do any strutting They played interregimental football there in camp, and the champs were the i8th Infantry team. We figured we could get up a scrub team in Battery C, and the i8th consented to play us as a favor. The Battery C line-up was a honey. We had Harg Van dergraft, University of Alabama he was All-Southern fullback that year. We had the two Bates brothers from Sewanee. We had Kid Knapp from Georgia Tech he was All-Southern end.
