Oaks Thrill Fans With
Rambling to a 6-3 record this year, the
Dondero Varsity football team completed
their most successful season since 1962,
to the delight of many enthusiastic fans
who crowded Cass Field.
The team featured deception for their
weapon, utilizing the speed of Junior half-
backs Al Shepler, Rod Rider and Dale
Wagman. Fullback, Randy Miles, provided
the vital short yardage up the middle
while Senior quarterback, Bob DeJulius,
guided the club, being very ably replaced
by Junior, Paul Most, after an injury suf-
fered in the Grosse Pointe game.
The passing combinations of DeJulius
to Bob Sherwin and Rich Blake, were
potent scoring threats. Rusty Hancock, Bill
Orosz, and 'John Rehbine were standouts
Coach lvy Loftin commented that this was the best
game played by the Oaks the entire season. The fans
also agreed, for the final score was Dondero - 33, Sea-
holm - 14. Above, Rich Blake successfully takes a High-
land Park player out of the-play as Al Shepler turns on
the speed around the end.
Fine Season
on the line.
Dondero was in the BCL Championship
Race, at one time during the season sport-
ing a 4-O record, but they were over-
powered by a fine Wyandotte team in the
decisive game.
Football fever reached its peak on No-
vember 'l2, the day of the annual cross-
town rivalry game with Kimball. The Pep
Assembly was filled with students anxious
to pin the first defeat on Kimball in three
years. The game, played on a soggy,
dreary field, and the gloom of the night
made the defeat seem more dismal. John
Gabler led the Kimball Knights to a 33-0
victory. With many fine Juniors returning
next year, there is an optimistic feeling
that the defeat will be avenged.
