Mount Pleasant is well remembered here for his work in the Vanderbilt gme last season, where he was one of the Eedskin stars.

All the season he has been doing phenomenal work for the aborigines, both in kicking, forwardpassing and running with the ball. It was his forward pass that scored the opening touchdown against Minnesota Saturday, and it is this same man that Chicago fears most nest Saturday when Stagg's Maroons face the Indians. It is reliably stated that Mount Pleasant will attend Cornell next season, where he will be eligible for four years, Carlisle being rated as a prep school. and then before he could recover fill upon him like a wolf on a Jackrabblt and McCormlck H0 In covered 35 yards and the Princeton blossomed into a Series of yollow flags and Mowers.
