Joe Ewan, a tackle, was selected for first string recog- nition in two of the three polls. In addition to this all-state honor, Joe was elected most valuable player by his teammates on the Canton team. All-state special mention, equiv- alent to a second team, was given to a Canton fullback, Rich johnson. Honorable mention was given to Bob McCoy, quarterback, Mike Burgard, halfback, and Steve Bowman, tackle. Canton's sophomore squad finished the sea- son with a split record of four wins and four losses. Cecil Harn and Carroll Belcher guided the sophs through the season. This was I-Iarn's second year as sophomore coach, and Belcher's first at Canton. With the addition of this year's sophs and the return of 1963's junior lettermen, Canton can look forward to a third season of winning football and another conference championship. Living up to his title of the Flying Frenchman, Mike Burgard flew over Galesburg's defense to reach the goal line and score another Giant victory which paved the way to the championship.
