Captain Caris, known as Ketsy , proved a valuable left half-back. He seldom tailed to gain and never failed his tackle. He came to his own in the Wintleld game, and his long gains were a delight to football fans. Hard , the heavy man of the team. was a most aggressive tackler. He proved an immovable obstacle when our goal line was endangered and was especially strong in opening holes. Thorson, who played full-back, was a good interference runner and a deadly tackler, showing the char- acteristic Barney grit. His line plung- ing could always be depended lupon. Pete , our quarter-back, ran the team with coolness and precision, us- ing his plays to the best possible ad- vantage. He was a sure receiver of punts and made many thrilling re- turns.

PQIKUMWWWWWWWWMWWNWNQMWKWGIKVNWNKQWNKWGNWMWKQEWWEWMWKVNWHWNGIRQO COACH LANDIS Coach Landis took charge of the football squad at the beginning of the school yearg dlue to the fact that he had spent the summer at the University of Missouri, at which place he had be- corne acquainted with Mr. Peters, the efficient coach of last year, and his methods and his general ideas of the line-up for this year, he was soon in complete control of the situation. Under his guidance the boys were soon brought into one of the most effi- cient football aggregations in this part of the state as the scores for the season well testify. The foot- ball season for'1923-24 will be most happily remem- bered by the stud-ents and friends of the Mt. Pleas- ant, High, for which Coach Landis can be given due credit.

e I f 1 1 1 I . Sam , Captain-elect, started the season with practically no experience but with an abundance of bone and brawn and a fighting spirit that was hard to beat. He held the position of guard. Mt. Pleasant High expects wonderful things from Sam next year. Greenup was a hard hitting back. His vicious tackles stopped many end runs, and he was especially good in picking the oval out of the air and taking it down the field. Tom , the .center, was always fast and accurate. His defensive Work was of the best. He played consis- tent football all through the season. Conner, although outweighed in al- most every game, through his plucky fight was a dependable player. l
