INDIVIDUAL FOOTBALL Coach Houston demonstrated his ability to train a team, when he de- veloped a line that withheld the onslaughts of Soo wonderful team with only three line vets back from last year's team. Our successful foot ball season was largely due to Couch Houston's un- tiring efforts towards training the team. ADA MS-Capt. Center ' Art was the star of the team. Through his hard playing he earned a position on the all U. P. team. His position will be a hard one to fill. FRY-Capt. elect, Guard Ray was sure to get his man behind the line. He was a good lineman and backfield man.. He should have little difficulty in making the U. P. team next year. CHRISTENSEN-Right Tackle Fat was a sure tackler and hole maker. His only fault was that he hit his opponents so hard they had to be carried 06. We will miss Fat's bulky person on the grid next year. MARIN-Lef t Tackle Big Bill was our best lineman. A regular bomb for breaking up our opponents' defense and a stone wall, stopping every line plunger who ever picked him for the weak point. Bill leaves us this June also. AN DARY-Right End X Jake was always the first down on a pass and was sure to make a spectacular catch. We are unfortunate to lose him this year also. BESNER-Left Guard Beans although only a freshie showed up well by his hard playing. He will be a valuable man next year. J OH N SON-Lef t End Johnny was sure to break up passes and end runs. Few men passed him. He ought to be a wonderful player next year. DREVDAHL-Left Half Drevy was a sure ground gainer and no one was able to stop him. He would have had little difficulty in making the U. P. team if he had not been hurt, but this handicapped him a great deal and took him out of the race. BURNS-Right Half Cisco was noted for picking holes in his opponents line. He made up in. speed for what he lacked in weight.

man penalized Manistique until Newberry was within a yard of their goal and through a fake they made a touchdown putting them ahead of us by one touchdown. M. H. S. 53-GLADSTONE 0 Gladstone had heard of our being defeated by Newberry and thought that we wo-uld be an easy victim. So they came here in full colors with a special car of rooters. But they soon changed their mind when they found they couldn't gain an inch through our line. They never got any fcloser to their goal than the thirty yard line. M. H. S. 47-MUNISING 0 We were going to avenge ourselves this game for letting Munising get a touchdown in the last game so we were determin-ed to give them a shut- out. Our center and tackles were repeatedly breaking up the plays behind their line so that they came nowhere near their goal. M. H. S. 20-S00 2 it f Hurrah! Who Said we couldn't play football and didn't have a chance with a team like the Soo, who had defeated most of the strong teams up in the copper country. Take a look at the score and you will soon see how we outclassed them. The Soo had defeated all the teams it had played including some of the best teams in. the Upper Peninsula. They came here with the idea that we would be only a scrimmage for them but they left with the idea that we had rough boys on our team. Every player on the Green and White played a good game. The line was like a stone wall and the Soo never gained an inch. They came near their ten yard line and were sure that it meant a touch down but the line pushed them back and Manistique went down the field for a touchdown. This marked the greatest success of the season. because when the whistle blew the score was 20 to 2 in favor of M. H. S. 523. 96 - f -'

BURTON-Full Back i Walt was fortunate in having both weight and speed and always made a gain in his line plunges. He was a good punter and passer also. WEINGARTNER-Quarter Back A G0bbo our snappy little quarter back proved himself to be a good general on many occasions. He will also be among the missing this year. SELLERS-Sub Tackle Doc was a regular plow when it came to making holes and he never failed to lay out his man. i , TEBO-Sub half New Skin although a beginner showed up well in the games he played and ought to be an important factor in next year'S team. STEPHENS-Sub Half . Sid was unfortunate in breaking his collar bone but ought to be a good ground gainer in next year's team. i , I 'mm' MARIN-Sub Center A' Nels was a good passer and when he hit his opponents they knew it. He will be a candidate for next year's team also. f BURNS-Sub Guard y Gabe was light but by next year he will have gained some weight and ought to be a good man. Q o
