They shall not pass - and they didn't. Holding down the center of the line. he was a bulwark of defense while many of the yards our team gained can be traced to his effective inter- ference, He was chosen all-city center. ,-,- l.. A.A,A A.AAA.4xAA GEORGE XVYSS The hardest hitting line plunger on the team was George VVyss. He could be depended on to make yards every time he was given the hall. Un defense George seldom let the opposing backs get past him. It was XYyss' first year on the team. Next year his position will be hard to till for he will be ineligible for competition. CHARLIE BRUBAKER Charlie Brubaker played a spectacular game at left end. Most adept at handling passes and a terror at tackling and blocking, l'huck won a berth on the all-city team amid keen competition. He was always down the field under punts and very few safety men returned the ball at his expense. He has another year of high school athletics. ROBERT HANNA Robert Hanna is a real football player even though small in stature. Tub was always out to practice and always worked hard. Hanna played center and quarterback on the reserves. Next fall he should be included in the eleven men who are regu- lars. Bob is a junior and has one more year of football.

FRANCIS GILLESPIE Francis Siki Gillespie, after a late start, worked in at a guard position throughout the remainder of the season. His splendid playing added much to the strength of the forward wall. He played his best game against Logansport when he Figured in many of the tackles and made holes in the line through which the backs had little trouble plunging for long gains. LESLIE EMMERSON Leslie Emmerson, although only a Sophomore. won a berth on the squad. He played at guard mostly and sometimes was shifted to center. Leslie has developed fast under coaching and should develop into a star player. He has two more years in which to help South Side win honors on the football field. EDXVARD RAHE Playing his second season with South Side, Edward Rahe was one of the marked players of the team. Rahe's rangy physique was a great asset to playing his position at right tackle so well. His knowledge of line play added much to the steacliness and consistency of his game. He was always alert and was a clever diagnostician of opposing formation. . -Ae.-41.51. ...A A EDNVIN ALDRICH Edwin Aldrich, half back and cap- tain-eleet of next year's team, was given a berth on the allacity team. Eddie was a splendid passer, a good kicker, and a terror at smashing the line. He hit the line with such ter- ritic speed and force that he seemed impossible to be stopped. Eddie did practically all the team's hurling and was ri big factor in the high scores.

5' 4 -,i,i4x3-'wha H .ns4A: LOUIS RIDGXVAY Louis Ridgway, the gritty, all-around player left over from last year's team, was a victim of circumstances during the 1923 season. Louis was handicapped all season because of the serious condition of his ankles. In spite of this drawback Louie played sensationally, especially in the Logansport game, when he com- pleted a long pass which later resulted in the winning touchdown. Louie is a Senior. LESTER DEHAVEN Lester De Haven played at right guard in the majority of the games. Tiny was an immovable bulk in the center of the line and opposing fullbacks found plenty of resistance when they attempted a plunge through his position. He was also a good offensive player. Coach Gilbert entertains the hopes of develop- ing him into a gridiron star, for Lester is but a yearling. DON CTQRRIE Don Currie, our wing-footed fullback, was the fastest and shiftiest man in the backtielcl. Don was very capable at circling the ends and at snaggiug passes. Despite his size he was a power- ful defensive player. Because of his sure tackling, he played in capacity of safety n1an. Although Don is a junior, this was his first year in high school football. A 5 W A lt---v -- -W Y- J Y LoU1s WILKENS Louis Vliilkens was probably the best wingman in high school football, but was handicapped by injuries. He was exceedingly fast. having great ability to get down the field under kicks and to go out for long passes. Louis was a Gibraltar on defense, being the most deadly tackler on the team. He was very proficient at breaking up and sifting through in- terference and throwing the runner for a loss.
