ROLLSTIN, Tackle, Rex is big and fast. He has another year ahead of him and should develop into a real tackle. Rex is a good punter and when extra yardage is needed, he can step into the back- field and deliver. SCHAFFERT, Tackle. Ossie, playing his first and last year, play- ed great football all season. His all-around play gave him honorable mention on the All State team. Ossie worked hard all season and he was an inspiration to the whole team. He will be missed a lot next year. POWELL, End. Don is another lightweight who is willing to concede lots of weight to an opponent- and still play football. He's an artist at snagging passes and his tackling was good and consistent. He has another year to play. age Tb ity-nine SMITH, Tackle. This is Paul's first year on the team. He's big and tangy and with another years exper- ience he should develop into a dependable lineman. HUTSELL, G uard. Cliff is short and stocky with plenty of weight which makes him a hard man to get out of a play. The play never gets too rough or tough for him. Cliff has another year to play. SHANEYFELT, End. Dean suffered a knee injury in an early practice session and didn't see action till mid- season, His size and aggressiveness made his end a hard place to get around and his height helped make him a good pass receiv- er. fContinued on page 40.1

OTTO, Quarterback. Claude led the team very capably all sea- son. He's a good student of football, and his shrewd judgement and ability to lead the team helped to make this season a successful one. CAPTAIN BENSON, Fullback. Bus playing his fourth year, received a rib injury in the first game of the season. He missed the next four games, but played in the last three. In spite of this handicap Bus always gave his best and he was an adept pass receiver. He was strong on defense and was high point man this year. GEORGE, Guard, Myrl, playing his second and last year, was the most versatile lineman on the team. He played defensive center and diagnosed opponents plays very skillfully and could pull out of the line and run interference very ef- fectively. HAYWOOD, Fullback. Henry, playing his first year, made a very excellent showing. He hits low and hard and fights for every yard. He has another year to play and with more experience and speed, he'll be a real Huskie for next season. LEWIS, End. This was Lewis' first and last year of foot- ball as he graduates this year. Although he lacked the weight that some of the others had he always gave a good account of himself whenever he got into a game. WHITE, Center. Bill put in another year of hard consistent work and developed into an accurate, de- pendable passer, He was the heaviest man on the team and his size and experience strengthened the middle of the line consider- ably. Bill has been a faithful and conscien- tious worker all of the time that he has been out for football. QContinued on page 40.1 Page Thirty eight
