ORANGE A BLACK P«y I Meet the Tackles Last Issue It wait the ends, this Issue we introduce the tackles on your Char- lotte Oriole high school football team. Willis Wilcox and Bruce Garling- house start most of our games at left and right tackle, respectively. How- ever. these boys have to keep on their toes to keep Ed. Simek from playing In their positions. Willis Wilcox, a senior, weighs 156 pounds and stands 6 feet tall. He has been out for football three years and gained a letter last year Bruce Oar- linghouse. who Is a Junior, weighs 164 pounds and Is 6 feet. 3 inches in height This Is Bruce's third year of football and he also received a letter last season Ed. Simek. also a junior, weighs 165 pounds and is 5 feet. 10 Inches tall. He has been around that football Acid for three years but has failed to earn a letter so far Another tackle who will see action this year is Donald Grier. Don Is a junior, weighs 1S6 pounds, is 6 feet, one inch tall and has been play- ing two years but has not received a letter. The tackles are a very important part of a football team's line. They must be big and also quite fast so that they can pull out and lead the! Interference on some plays. Endur- ance and stamina must also be among their qualities as they get many jolts during a game. You will find Willis Wilcox wearing number 45. Bruce Garlinghouse 51. Ed. Slntek 39. and Don Grier 43. When you come to the Hastings game tomorrow, why not watch these tackles on some of the plays instead of the ball carrier.

Sullivan and Mario; These backfleld stars of Otsego's brillant team displayed a combination of de- fensive and offensive skill seldom seen in high school football. Mario’s pistonlike legs carried him through, over, and around the Oriole line. He was the main-stay of the Otsego of- fense while Sullivan. who seemed to be always In the wrong places at the wrong time, intercepting forward passes and plugging up holes in the line was the star of the opponent's defense.
