Joe played three years varsity and two years junior high. Joe started as a halfback, was changed to center and later to the backfield Joe was a star in his last year. The team next year will find it hard to fill his shoes. The next senior was Covert. He played two years Junior High, one year second team and two years of varsity. Covert began as a plunging fullback and was then changed to the line. After this change, he turned out to be a standout guard and was one of the mainstays of the line He is very rugged and aggressive and coaches claim him to be a good team player. It will be a long time before the high school can find anyone who can fill his shoes. Cuingan has been the tough luck boy of the seniors as far as football is concerned. He had two years of Junior Highg one year second team, and two years of varsity. Cuingan was forced to the sidelines due to injuries to his nose in the early games of the season. He is a big, rough and agressive player. He was a great team player. Elmer Kish played two years Junior High, one year second team, and one year varsity. Kish, who played quarterback throughout his high school year, was forced out due to ineligibility. His specialty was blocking Dave Kulture played two years Junior High, one year second team, one year varsity. Dave was one of the fastest ends Ecorse High School ever had. He was especially good on end around plays. He was unable to play in his last year because he was holding down a job in a factory Victor Mitea played a year of second team and two years of varsity. He began as a center and was switched to end. ln his last year he be- came a standout end. He was especially effective catching Martin's long passes. C Continued-next page I
