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

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.
