++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++44++++4+++++444++++++++++++++++i44i4+i WOOSTER HIGH INTRODUCES ITS LETTERMEN JOHN SMITH - Co-Captain John Smith, a senior is following the tradition of the Smith family. Being the last of eight boys in his family, all of whom played football at Wooster High, Johnnie has quite a few steps to follow in. A 164 pound center, John is pivot man on offense, and a line backer on defense. This is his second year as first string center and Johnnie hopes to make it his best year. Generally conceded to be one of the finest tacklers and blockers on the team, John will be trying for his second letter. JACK PALMER - Co-Captain Jack Palmer. hard driving fullback of the Wooster squad, would undoubtedly be in quest of his third letter this year had it not been for an injury received before the 1948 season. Jack, a letter winner as a sophomore at quarter- back, sustained a knee injury just prior to the beginning of last season which kept him out of action the entire year. Although he still wears a knee brace while in action, Jack has come back strong this year. Some 3000 football fans can bear witness to that for they saw him romp for three touchdowns last Friday against Painesville. Jack weighs 165 and can pass and kick as well as run. A LES JOHNSON Les Johnson, a senior and a letterman, has nail- ed down the post of first string left end. Les, a three sport man, is a standout in baseball and basketball as well as football. V Usually in the game on both offense and de- fense, Les is a good pass receiver as well as being a good runner, a fact he has proved on several occasions on end-around plays. Weighing in at 162 pounds, Les is out to win his sixth letter in three Wooster High school sports, his second in football. RONNIE CALABRIA Ronnie Calabria, the only member of the back- fleld who was a member of last season's opening game backfield, will be running from his familiar right halfback spot again this season. Ronnie, a lettermzin and a senior, is noted for his dodging, snakey hipped style of running which netted him a total of 30 points last season. Besides being a fine runner, Ronnie is a good left-handed passer, as well as a fine punter. Weighing' 154 pounds, Ronnie is a member of a backfield which many consider one of the fastest at Wooster High in years. BENNY MASSARO Benny Massaro, fleet left halfback of the Wooster High squad is well on the road to a new scoring record for individual players at Wooster if last week's performance is a sample of what's to come. Benny tallied four touchdowns in last week's victory over Painesville and was literally all over the field as he ran enemy defenders wild trying to stop him. ' A senior and a letterman, Ben is aided while on the field by contact lenses which are placed directly over the eye balls underneath the eye lids. Benny 'weighs 158 pounds and is the fastest man on the squad. EVERETT FRY Everett Fry, a 192 pound guard, is the heaviest man on the squad and one of the most rugged linemen Wooster High has seen in the last few years. Ev, the only two-year letterman, is in the game on both offense and defense, and many times has broken through the line to stop enemy ball-car- riers almost dead in their tracks. Since this is his last year of high school compe- tition, Ev plans to make those who have played against him not forget the big left guard from W. H. S. TONY DI GIACOMO Tony Di Giacomo. one of the seven returning lettermen, is back at the position at which he won his letter last year, left tackle. Although Tony weighs only 158 pounds, his fine all-around play has gained him the job of offensive tackle. A senior this year, Tony is out to make this his best year of high school football. +++++++++++++++444++++++++++++++++++4+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
