MR. WALLACE COLE LEONARD BRASCH MR. MYRLON SEIMS FOOTBALL Appleton l-ligh Schools gridmen finished a fairly successful season last fall with a tie for third place in the Fox River Valley Conference. OF the eight games played, the Grange squad lost but two, both conference battles. Green Bay East headed the league standings with five wins and one defeat. This city hasn't seen a championship football squad for many years, however, since the arrival two years ago of Coach Wallace Cole, the team has been noticeably advancing from its usual cellar position. Mr. Myrlon Seims has been of great assistance to Coach Cole especially because of his unusual ability in developing line- men. Last season the boys started slowly but ended with a string of victories to their credit. This season they played a steady brand of ball throughout, and, with fifteen lettermen returning, they give promise of a championship team next fall. Five gridders of this yearis team will be lost by graduation. They are: Captain Leonard Brasch, Milton Arps, Kenneth Buesing, John Dutcher, and Richard Garvey. Captain Brasch led his team superbly. l-lis offensive worlc was outstanding, and his exceptional defensive play made him one of the best ends in the conference and gained for him a position on the first All-conference eleven. Ken Buesing's generalship at quarter- back and Milton Arps' outstanding play in the front line earned for them a position on the second conference squad. Although John Dutcher did not gain a berth on the Conference team, his worlc was noteworthy. l-lis returning of punts netted many extra yards for the team, and he was recognized as one of the conferenceis shiftiest open-field runners. Dick Garvey did not play regularly, but while in action he gained recognition as a very strong defensive end. 'sn
