COACH HENRY I. 1GO-Proj, talented Demon Football mentor, who led a green Glenwood grid machine to a highly suc- cessful season, was one of the better versed coaches of the league, his formations and quick-opening plays netting a vast amount of yardage. A Rockne product who stresses fundamentals, he tutored the 1944 squad to master the fast tricky T-formation, introducing it to fit a speedy small red and white eleven. His genial affable per- sonality is one of his chief assets, this trait gifting him with an abili- ty to handle adolescent youths in a friendly diplomatic way. G. C. H. S. can indeed be proud to have such a coach, one who all Dem- ons hope will be coaching their clubs for many years to come. ASSISTANT COACH RANDY BLATNICK-'Randy, former star Denver University fullback and now Marine corps sergeant, who was stationed at G. S. N. C. H. during the grid season after serving in the Paciiic theater of war, volunteered to help Coach lgo in turn- ing out his '44 eleven after the team had played two games. Being a well inf armed expert on T-formation play, he coached the Dem .m backfield to master the tricky maneuvers required to set the T in operation. Everv Demon extends his deepest appreciation for the capable services he rendered in molding the club. GEORGE BAUMLI-team manager. One of the less heralded yet essential parts of every sport is that of being team manager, a jcb which Georgie handled quite capably and efficiently for the G. C. H. S. fa otball quad c f 1944. On the team manager are piled the less exciting and colorful phases of the sport, such as collecting and taking care of dirty uniforms and footballs. George stayed by the team nightly through the season and they all appreciate the loyalty he has shown them. BUNN BIGUM-Bunn, spunky Demon guard whose inspired and talented plav made the left side of the Glenwood forward wall vir- tually in .fu'nerab1 - ro plung:s, was another of the outstanding iun- ior athletes to leiter in the art of football. Recognized as one of the more skillful submariners, Bunn, who possessed a robust constitution and lots of stamina could always be depended on to spill the ball- carrier before his offensive movement began. An offensive wizard, whose sinewy arms and driving charges opened holes in the oppo- siti wn's defense, h: often knocked down one man only to get up and sp:ed doivnfield to block another. Bunn's vigor and never-say- die sprit will be an asset to the '45 eleven. ERWIN CRAMP-Buddy, daredevil Demon who alternated be. tween the center and guard posts, was a senior officer who became an insigna wearer through his highly-rated work. This 140 pounds of destruction on the loose, whose willingness to ,mix it with the best, was fast on his feet, his deceptive elusiveness being the primary cause of his superb tackling. His value was also great in the fumble- recovery department where he excelled in taking advantage of mis- cues. On defense, he was sure and capable, his daring tactics will be missed to the superlative degree next year.
