llIIPliirininiilI!TT7Ti'TiTl'i'i il'F ilTi i'i ivivvvvvvvvvvllvvvvv Review of the Football Season OOTBALL practice began a week before school opened with only three of last year's regulars back. On September 30 the team journeyed to Olds for a practice game and a little experience. The coaches of both teams were on the field criticising and directing plays. The score was 31-7 in favor of Mt. Pleasant, when the game was forced to a close by inj,uries sus- tained by Oldfs players. Mt. Pleasant's team showed a lack of experience and weight, but was destined to overcome these as the following regular schedule will show. Our first scheduled game was with Burlington's veteran team at Bur- lington. With a green team and with Kellems out of the lineup with a brok- en hand it was a gloomy day for Mt. Pleasant. The inexperienced Mt. Pleas- ant tuam was outweighed several pounds to the man and had a crippled line left of center. The final score was 0-26 in favor of Burlington High. On October 11 Mt. Pleasant gained their first victory by defeating Fair- field 3-0 at Fairfield. Here the regular lineup was in action. Fairfield was scarcely able to make first down, but by out-punting Mt. Pleasant they were able to hold the score down. On Ocober 18 Mt. Pleasant was again defeated at Ottumwa by a score of 0-6. Their score was made early in the first quarter by a. shoestring pass. This .showed Mt. l'leasant's inexperience, 'but they were never again caught napping. The New London game at Mt. Pleasant on October 26 proved an unfor- tunate track meet. Substitutions by Mt. Pleasant began early in the game and in the third quarter they were playing their entire second team with the exception of Sam Ewart. The game ended 25-0 in favor of Mt. Pleasant.. Dufxifig the game three Mt. Pleasant players were knocked unconscious while tac ' ing. The best and hardest fought game of the whole season was against the unbeaten Keokuk eleven at Mt. Pleasant. Keokuk came up with two full teams expecting to give Mt. Pleasant a trimming and their first team a rest. However, they were to be disappointed. Late in the first quarter Keokuk worked down for first down and a yard to goal, but Mt. Pleasant's defense was working exceptionally well. After three successive downs and no gain, Jackson tackled the Keokuk half on fourth down for a six yard loss. Thereafter during the game Mt. Pleasant's goal was never endangered. The game was marked by clean, intelligent, and veteran playing by 'both teams and ended in a scoreless tie of 0-0. Mt. Pleasant gained another victory over Winfield at Mt. Pleasant on November 8. Mt. Pleasant smashed over for two goals while Winfield scored a field goal. The score ended 13-3. Mt. Pleasant met their third and last defeat at Wayland on November 15. Outweighed and unsupported from the sidelines, together with a cold, cloudy day, the Mt. Pleasant players showed a lack of pep and determined fight. The score ended 6-13. The season closed with a ha.rd-fought game with our old rival Fort Madison, at Fort Madison, on November 22--Thanksgiving Day. Mt. Pleasant drop kicked three times, but on account of a strong Wind were unafble to- score. The game ended in the second scoreless tie of the season, 0-0.

rllllllllllllllllllllllIllIllIllIlll'!'l'l'llllllllIlllllIIll ' .IJVIIIIIIIIIYIIIIIIIUIIII s ERWIN BERRIER Center Berry Black came out in the first of the season with scarcely any previous experi- ence. Through his determination to learn the game and his fight he soon proved his abilities. Accurate in his passes and quick to act and judge he was always to be de- pended mxpon. Breaking up passes was his delight. ROY ESTES Fullback Roy was laid up with injuries for several games. He always gave his best in every game. On offense his line plunging was a notable feature. He became very efficient in plugging up holes in the line. When he tackled 'em they stopped. JOE McCAIN Quarterback Gobbo came out with great ideas of touchdowns from the kickoff. He had flght to spare so he soon established himself on the team. He was very effective at running interference. His tackling was excelled on- ly by his ability to break up passes, through which he made several good returns. CARL ENGLAND Fullback Curly came in to flll up the vacancy in- cident to Roy's injuries. He proved himself capable in every way and alternated with Roy during the latter part of the season. Line plunging was where he excelled, often gaining as much as eight yards a down. THEODORE JACKSON R. Half 'l eedy put himself into the game with a zest that pleased the whole team. Keokuk's last hopes for a touchdown were shattered by him when he tackled their half for a six yard loss on last down and goal . His running and ability to nab passes were noted by all who saw him play. LLOYD ESTES L. Guard Lloyd was the big man left of center. His weight and strength blocked many a play coming his way. Lloyd was a sure tackler and could always handle any man he played against. In opening holes he could always be depended upon. Lloyd should be a formidable player next year.
