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.

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.
