Weber- HEAVYWEIGHT FOOTBALL SUMMARY K Despite a succession of major injuries and bad breaks, the heavyweight football team finished in better shape than has been done for almost a decade. In Dean Johnson's first year as heavyweight mentor here, the 1934 F. H. S. gridiron edition won four, lost two, and tied two contests on the football lield. Led by Captain Bill Kerlin, the Orange and Black recorded victories over Dubuque, Savanna, Elgin, the Johnsonmen in the fore part of the season, and it was no surprise to those connected with the co-champions. The Pretzels' first bad break occurred when Jack Blackiston, who was counted upon for a regular line position, was taken ill with appendicitis a few days after school opened. Then after the second non-conference game with Dixon, it was discovered that Jim Kinney, no pound veteran tackle was too old to play. Severe injuries to Captain Kerlin and Ed. Kiefer, regular wingman, also handicapped the Johnsonmen in the fore part of the season, and it was no surprise to those connected with the squad when the Pretz lost their first conference tilt at Joliet. Later in the season Harry Kinert, varsity signal caller, suffered a collarbone injury and was out of the moleskins for almost a month. At end, Coach Johnson used Ed Kiefer, Harold De Gunther-a transfer student from Davis High who was playing his first season of organized, football-Wayne Henke, and Vernon Falkenau. After Jim Kinney's ineligibility George Culver, another Senior playing his first year of the sport, became Freeport's outstanding lineman and was an all-conference selection. Lawrence Huyck, a three- letter man, held down the other tackle position. At the guards Johnson used two 150-pounders, Vic Arenschild and Fran Johnson. Both were plucky, hard-driving boys who gave everything they had during every minute of play. Bob Springman, aJunior, held down the pivot post. Johnson's regular backfield contained Harry Kinert, ex-lightweight at quarter, Manny Georgalas and Mac Arthur Butlar at halfback, and Captain Kerlin at fullback. Harry Johnson also saw considerable service at quarterback during Kinert's enforced stay on the sidelines. Georgalas and Butlar, the Touchdown Twins, were the ball-carrying stars of the team and scored most of Freeport's points. Around these two men was built Johnson's powerful double-wingback oHfense. Kinert, the speed merchant of the squad, and Kerlin did most of the open field running and also were the blocking aces of the eleven. Ralph Mtisser, a Junior, filled in at fullback when Kerlin's leg injury kept him out of play. Letters were awarded to the following Seniors: Kerlin CCaptainD, Huyck, Georgalas, H. Johnson, Arenschild, Kiefer, Culver, Vincent, Juniors, Kinert, Butlar, Adleman, Springman, F. Johnson, Henke, Falkenau, and Musser. Page Twenzjf-four l
