 6-MAN FOOTBALL SQUAD Back row, left to right: Gale Dutcher, assistant coach, Lyle Kellar. Don Timm, Wayne Meyers, Don Hendricks, Collin Harris, Henry Albrecht, Bill Smith, Orin Brown, Dallas Freeman, Don Freeman, Don Mohlenhoff, coach Front row, left to right: Lowell Richards, student manager, George Wehrkamp, Wes McCaskell, Ronnie Wynn, Lonny Chase, Don Sprang, Gus Jacob, Pete Kruse, Verle Conner, Neil Carpenter and Don Conner 1952-53 Football Summary October 31, 1952 brought to a close the last football game for the season and also the last game for nine of the senior boys; maybe some will play later in college and maybe even in pro football—only history will tell. There was only one casualty this year and it was not during any of the games— it happened shortly after practice began this fall. We were all hoping that Don Russell could come out again and resume practice but through no fault of anyone he was not allowed to do so. The season turned out to be a very successful year with only one loss, although we had some very close ones, as those who saw the game with Chester know, which was a hair raiser. The points of the season were made by the eight following men: Wes Mc- Caskell lead with six touchdowns and one point on a conversion for a total of 37 points. Ronnie Wynn and George Wehrkamp tied with six touchdowns apiece for a total of 36 points each. Don Conner ended up with three touchdowns for a total of 18 points. Gus Jacob was next with two touchdowns for a total of 12 points and Pete Kruse with one touchdown for a total of 6 points. Neil Carpenter picked up, or sliall we say kicked up, three conversions for a total of 6 points and last is Jerome Van Ningen with one point on a conversion. The total points scored this year add up to a total of 152. De Smet had a total of 1007 yards made in rushing, 258 yards in passing, for a total of 1265 yards gained. The opponents made a total of 626 yards in rushing and 329 yards by passing— a total of 955 yards. From those of us that will not be back next year we wish the squad of 1953-54 a very, very successful year. TWENTY-TWO
