The Eagle River Eagles are champions this year, to climax an undefeated season in confer- ence games. Losing only to Country Day the first game of the season they swamped all other oppon- ents. The seemingly inexperienced team, after losing so many lettermen through graduation, came through with almost a sensational effort. Many compared this team with the best in E. R. H. S. his- torv. The Eagles possessed a quick, precision-like hackfield with Mike Bradford at quarterback, Roger Godeck and Tom Gaffney at halfhack, and Colyn Carter at fullback. Stalwarts in the line were Dave Seyfert, Wayne Synstad and Bill Woltei' at guard and tackle: lack Thomas at center: and Don Plude and Bill Payne at ends. With Godeck and Bradford blocking, Gaffney and Carter luccaine high scorers for the team and conference. lack Thomas and Mike Bradford were chosen co-captains for the year and Colyn Carter was chosen most valuable player.
