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.

LOUIS VVILKENS Louis Nomus GEORGE XVYSS Prvszduazt I'1rc-Pzvszdczzit Secretary-T1'mszw'Cr The Letter Club The Letter Club was organized last fall among the letter men of the school for the purpose of creating a greater interest in athletics. Each man who had received one letter in any sport was eligible to membership. About 19 boys took advantage of the opportunity. They held a meeting the first Of the school year at which time they elected the following oiiicers who have served the entire year. Louis lYilkens, presidentg Louis Norris, vice-presidentg George XVyss, secretary-treasurer. The club had planned to give a dance the first of the school year but owing to various circumstances they were forced to abandon their plans. This club will also suffer from the loss of a great many members, but with the continued interest in athletics it is assured that it will never want for addi- tional members. Although the organizatiion has not been unusually active it is felt that the members have prohted by the club's organization. IPage 1151
