flurtis Thompson Vurtis Thompson-end. The courage and tight- ing spirit which 'l'ommy displayed throughout the year helped to keep the team inspired, espe- cially during the times when the going was the toughest. Despite the fact that he was handi- capped by an injury early in the season, Tommy turned in a consistently line record ot' performance at each encounter. Dervin Faldet-tackle. t'lilueboy, as he is affectionately called by all of his team-mates, has been a valuable member of the Vikings for two years. ln recognition of the fine caliber ot' football which he played throughout the sea- son, l3lneboy was placed on the Northeast lowa all-conference team as a tackle. Kenneth Nesset-guard. Although this is the tirst year that Kenny has seen action on the first team, he played like a veteran. Many an oppon- ent's well-planned plays went afoul when they ran up against the full 175 pounds that go to make up this husky Viking guard. Donald Torgenrude Kenneth Rima lliek Dervin Faldet Kenneth Nessct the season, liars privately established as his watch-word: Never a bad center and an exam- ination at the end of the football year revealed that he had achieved this goal. Many was the time that liars smashed the hopes of some op- posing ball-carrier by refusing to let anyone pass. Philip Ilosen-guard. Slip has been an im- portant member of the Viking forward wall for two seasons and since he is only a junior this year, even greater things are expected ol' him next season. ln recognition of his capabili- ties at the guard spot, Slip was placed on the Northeast Iowa all-conference team. lleonard Grayw-tackle. This is the tirst year that Leonard has had a regular berth on the tirst, team although he saw considerable action last season.
