The coaches started the season with a green bunch of boys who for the most part had very little experience. The team lost eight of its first string players through graduation or transfer at the beginning of this year. The prospects for next year's team, however, are promising, in view of the fact that several boys gained much football know how this yearf The eight graduating seniors are: Cort, Scheel, Ohland, Clark, Hinrichs, Murrow, Champion, and Sanders. Dick Scheel, senior tackle was elected captain by the team at the beginning of the year. Co-captain was appointed each game by Coach Petersen. .-.53-.
