THE ASHBUR1.-iN G.-xA1Bi.ic: .-Xt the left tackle spot, Dave played a lot of tough two-wiv football. Aggressiveness and agility made up for what he lacked in weight. Perhaps the big thing he learned this season was that SH- minute football requires good condition. HCJGAR'l'HZ Big llogarth, in his first year of football. came on slowly. XVith plenty of size, Harry must work on speed. agility and develop more drive. lVlACDoN.fxi.n: Tommy was another early season casualty. llowcver. from his early performance it was evident he has all the desire and enough ability to become a fine two-way Intercollegiate halfback. NICPTNINCHZ As Most Improved Player this season, Little .Xlac , is a remarkably strong and able player for his years. So long as he doesn't get the idea that top performances come easily, of which there was some evidence in his attitude, Mc.-Xninch should develop well at fullback and in the defensive secondary. MACDOUGALL: Though he had few chances to get into action at the loaded end positions, when the opportunity did arise he showed particularly well at offensive end. He has good hands and decep- tion. NICPHAILZ An 'Unsung Hero' Peter was a silent terror to the opposition playing from his defensive inside backer slot. An able, determined and hard-working player, he shows excellent promise. MCQUAIG: Though ineligible for League games, Don played in the exhibitions. O'BRIEN: After a start in the offensive backffeld, Larry developed into an excellent defensive halfback. VVith excellent speed and good judge- ment he made few mistakes and provided good coverage on both pass and running plays. RAWLEY: Captain. He was the star of the team. Though emphasis must of necessity be on team performance, Rawley. a willing work- horse, shone consistently on both offence and defence and so de- serves singular praise and recognition. League scoring champion. he was selected the team's most valuable player. SHAW: Another player who saw little action, Dave always tried and worked hard for the team. He IllllSt learn to be more aggressive and improve his speed and agility. SHOUP: Though with the team for only three games at the end of the season, he gave the Ashbury defence a tremendous boost in the Gloucester championship game. Having developed an aggressive charge, Shoup must now work on agility, speed and judgement.

3, THE .4sHBUR1.4:.' Axmansoxz Vice-Captain. At 155 lbs. Tony proved remarkably durable at his tackle spot. He could always be counted on for a solid per- formance. BICNSKINZ OHV to a slow start, he settled down to become a valuable mem- ber ofa defensive trio with Chance and O'Brien. IEIQIQRY: Vice-Captain. He was a standout two-way player from his offensive end and defensive cornerback positions. Good hands and deception made him a favorite target for the team's passers. By the :veason's end he had learned to use his receiving skill with great effect. CAs'roNocAv: Coming from Bishop's, Peter worked in well at quarter- back. Though weak on his passing he more than made up for this in good ballhandling and a deceptively strong running style. CHANCE: His experience was an asset to the team. Though plagued with a bad knee he proved to be still very fast and shifty, particularly in the second Eastview game. Defensively he developed well at his tertiary position. CHANTLER: He has all the makings of a fine two-way pro end. VVith lots of natural ability, a streak of toughness and no fear of hard work, he turned in consistently good performances. A trifle awkward, however, Bob has only to work on building better speed and decep- tion to become a star in any league. Received 4'Best Linesmen Award . CO'l l'0N2 Afraid of nobody, he played a very tough brand of football from his centre and inside linebacker slots. Dawsoxz Phil was lost to the team early in the season, suffering a severe shoulder separation in the Pigskin Parade exhibition. However, when recuperated sufficiently, he acted as assistant manager. Domus: He didn't see much action this season but worked fairly faith- fully. He has potential as a punter. lf.vANs ll: A raw recruit last fall, Evans, in his own hard-working and thorough fashion, developed into a very acceptable replacement at centre for Cotton. XVith good ability and remarkably good de- velopment in this his first year in the game, Evans IHLISI work hard on his fundamentals - particularly long snaps. l'i0RlDI Another recruit from the high school ranks. Though a powerful and determined runner when he got up steam, he often seemed a little hasty in his judgements, with a tendency to get flustered.

J THE ASHBURIAN SoL'1tH.xM I: He was lost early to the team. At offensive guard and de- fensive end while with the squad, he showed good speed, aggressive- ness and judgement. SoL'iii.xxi ll: With little chance to break into the lineup till mid-way through the season. Hill made good when the opportunity pre- sented itself. Sli!-1liNlS,XKF,RS ll: A big boy for his I4 years, he learned steadily through the season. Tn-'i- i': From his defensive end spot he proved himself a real menace to opposition passers. Uiixxisi-iizca: Rick has no shortage of ability, but without the effort to go with it, he didn't measure to nearly the performance level of which he is capable. XX'oons: Up from the Seconds for a few games with the team, Hoods was one of the few of our backrielders who managed to get any yardage against St. Josephs in the League plavoff. lQwixrz: Team Manager. liooni: The team's representative on the timer's bench.
