First Row: Gould, Meinecke, Oaks, Hoy, Flatten, Schroeder. Thierstein Second Row: Mr. Gillaspie, Nelson, McCartney, Graham, Hoy, Martin, Erickson, Ham, Humann, Nelson, Mr. Short Third Row: Edwards, Webb, Reed, Westbrook, Epp, Paulsen, Carney, Harvey Fourth Row: Porter, Edwards, Mook, Walker, Allen, Hesson The 1952 football season looked very promising and bright with 17 monogram winners returning. It appeared to be a banner year for Coach T. Gillaspie's Viewmen. But as often happens, CV's football team of 52 began losing its squad members early. Two boys were made ineligible by the age limit. Cupid came along and took another one. Summer vacation cost two more lettermen-one due to fire, the other joined the marines. The 52 season finally got under way with 33 aspirants. Twenty-two of this number made the traveling squad, but not before one other letterman was lost. A close check on the personal playing in the opening game at Blair, found the team lacking in experience and also in points-as the Viewmen lost 27-6. Still smarting from the first loss, the violent View- men were again turned back at Plattsmouth. However, great improvements were shown by many of the players. Louis Meinecke had one of his best nights. The score was a little better than before, 27-7. With the never say dead attitude, Coach Gillaspie's charges were proud to be too much for the new school in our schedule this year-Omaha Westside. Woody Oaks and Louis Meinecke compiled the points after Glenn Hoy, Mike Martin, Allen Schroeder, and Bob Flatten stopped the Westsider's running attack. This made the home folk happy with a 12-6 victory. College View again had some lessons to learn with the Wahoo Warriors. This time the Viewmen were turned back 28-7. Woody Oaks' passing arm here connected with the waiting arms of Bill Thierstein for the TD. The PAT was added by Bob Flatten. The next week College View's football eleven became victims of a very serious disease, fumbletics , and were sent home from the LHS oval by Cathedral, on the short end of the 25-0 score. Then came the game of the year for the group of players. The Viewmen traveled to Wilber, who had picked College View to be their Homecoming victory. Wilber set right out to prove they meant business about beating the boys from the city. They scored in the first period by chapping a long drive. The try for the point was missed. CV came to life in the dying moment of the first quarter. The ball was in a scoring position deep in Wilber territory when the goal change came on the third play from scrim- mage. Woody Oaks punched a strike to Jack Porter who picked his way to score. Paul Westbrook took the ball through the middle for the two yards needed and the extra point. A pass interception by Larry Epp and a re- covered fumble by Ralph Graham proved too much for Wilber and College View was again the victor 7-6. After this very timely win by the Viewmen one would be led to believe that they might be able to win the rest of their games. But once again the players were attacked with that dreaded disease fumbletics . This time on their own 13 yards line, which cost a touchdown and victory to be handed to Bellevue 7-0. CV again played the role of a villian at the expense of Ashland by the score of 18-13. Working on fundamentals during the week payed off for CV. The Viewmen started the scoring by sending diminutive Paul Westbrook through center, behind good blocking, for the score. CV's second score came when Woody Oaks threw a screen pass to Paul Westbrook, who scored again. Woody Oaks rambled around right end to end the scoring. Recognition for their splendid defensive work goes to all linemen, with big Al Schroeder and Darrell Bryceson leading them. Bob Flatten played one of his best games of the season by being in on or doing most of the tackles. The Viewmen, hoping to round out the 52 season with a win, looked forward to their meeting with Valley on CV's own field. Several bad breaks for the Viewmen plus some rather unusual football playing by Valley crushed the CV hopefuls 33-0. Thus ended the 1952 grid season with the following seniors rounding out their high school football careers: Bob Flatten lettering 3 years, Woody Oaks 3 years, Louis Meinecke 3 years, Dean Gould 1 year, Darrell Bryceson 2 years, and Allen Schroeder 2 years.
