Haynes C. Foster MERLE HAYNES Captain Elect. Fullback-Third Year Spain is a tripple threat man, dan- gerous in all departments. His punts averaged more than any other man in the Conference. Opponents had much difficulty in stopping his line plunges. He justly deserves honorable mention and next year should see him on the all- state team. CHARLIE FOSTER Quarterback-Fourth Year Here is our veteran, a four year man and one of the few to gain that distinc- tion. Chick was a hard hitting back and his opponents feared his speed and ground gaining ability. He leaves us this year. 79 Keiss E. Foster ED KEISS Center-Second Year Keiss handled the ball in good style and was an accurate passer. He was one of our best defensive men. Watch him next year. EARL FOSTE R Center-Third Year He was a good trainer which made him reliable at all times. His great abili- ty was on the defense, which he seemed to enjoy. He has one more year.
