There were only three seniors on the team: Harold Covert, Elmer Kish, and David Kulchar. The l9M2 team is looking forward to a successful sea- son. However, all three seniors who would be returning are unable to go out this en- couraging season. Kulchar, who was a four year man on the track team, finished in January. He was a valuable man in the MMO and 220 dashes. Covert was a very promising shot putter. He was unable to continue this current season because he is rowing in the Senior Eight at the Ecorse Boat Club. Last year he did both rowing and shot putting, but found it hard on him because of the exercise de- manded by both. Klshy the third member, was a very promising hurdler. Last year he was the only hurdler on the team. He is also rowing this yearg he rowed and had track last year, but he, too, found lt strenous. These three members would have helped to balance the present squad. The seniors wlsh the team every success. Football Kcontinued from p.25J Wilford Kennedy never went out for football until his Senior year. Wilford made the varsity and turned in very satisfactory performances. It was too bad Wilford did not go out for football sooner, for it he would have he would have developed lnto a standout player at the end. Charles Compton played two years Junior High and one year second team. He was a very effective pass receiver. He dropped football in his Junior year ln order that he might concentrate solely on basket- ball. Richard Guy went out for football in Junior High and second team, after a year absence he returned in his Senior year to play tackle. It was not until his last couple games in high school that he found himself. Douglas Callow played two years Junior High and two years second team. Because of school work he was unable to play in his senior year. Douglas was a very rugged guard.

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
