These were the words of the Frosh football coach Mr. Michael Shultheis, S.J., at the com- pletion ofthe '59 season. Mr. Shultheis had good reason to be optimis- tic, for his young Jesuit fledgings had iust nipped Parkrose Heights 'IQ-7 and finished the season with ci perfect 5-0 record. Led by a fine pair of halfbacks, Mike Ford and Pat Casey, the Frosh scored in double figures in all of the five games, took the Freshmen Wilco League championship, scored a total of 94 points 118.8 per gamei, and limited the opposition to a total of 38 points f7.6 per gamel. But, as is true of any title-winning team, a strong line is necessary, and a strong line the Frosh did have: ends were Ebert, White, and Becker, tackles were Zilka, Ford, und Johnson, guards were Dolan and Paquet, centers were McDowell and Brenneke. THE FINE offensive play of the Jesuit Frosh is exemplified in this ten yard scoring burst by Pat Casey in the first quarter against Reynolds, pacing a 31-12 victory. With a record like the Frosh compiled this year, the football future at Jesuit High is indeed very bright. 56 I
