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.

'fllllllllllllllllllllllllll SIIIIPIIIIYIIUIIIIIIUUIIUII ll E I l S . MARK CARNAHAN Captain Center Sleuths captaincy was marked by his desire to lead a clean sportsmanlike team. He was a clean player and trained consis- tently throughout the season. His team- work and fighting spirit were his outstand- ing points. His specialty was to work in for short shots 'under the. basket. During the l. W. C. Tournament he was at his best. LLOYD CARNAHAN Capt.-Elect S. Guard Loud proved to be one of the outstand- ing players. His close guarding and hard clean fighting were noticed and admired by all the cage fans. He generally kept the opposing players back for long shots and very seldom did they pass him for shots under the basket. He has two more years at M. P. H. SS. and during that time should make one of the best standing guards in the Little Six . JOHN EWART R. Guard Johnny was Mt. Pleasants fastest play- er. Although he never succeeded in gain- ing any points until the last of the season he guarded closely and could recover the ball easily. Later in the season he came in for points and during the I. W. C. Tour- nament he was at his best. His long shots were thrillers for everyone. He was the only one of our team to gain a place on the all tournament team here. HAROLD LAMM L. Forward Old Man was a sterling forward. His teamwork was unexcelled and at basket shooting he was very accurate. In the tournament he was at his best. He gener- ally succeeded in getting his share of the points and always kept his man from get- ting his. He guarded closelyg however, few fouls were called on him. DALE 'clams P.. Forward Gosslin was a most accurate basket shooter. He gained high points for his team in several games and seldom failed to cage his share of the baskets. He has two more years at the M. P. H. S. and no doubt will make one of our best players. He al- ways trained and was a clean sport. THE
