Frosh-Xoph Football The Erosh-Soph football squad overwhelmed their opponents with a total score of 72-27. The first victory was a non-confer- ence game against Maine. The next week the Maroons defeat- ed Ioliet in the first conference game of the season. Freeport was outscored on the Elgin gridiron. Coach Krafft's absence for a Week was a draw- back, Elgin losing to West Au- rora. The Creams couldn't break into the East Aurora stronghold, and the LaSalle lncas tied El- gin in a O-U deadlock. Then in the final game, Elgin defeated Thornton Fractional, closing the season with four victories, two losses, and one tie. Sixteen players were employ- ed regularly in the seasons grid battles. Four ends who saw much action were Dick Stolt, Ralph Andreason, Austin Han- sen, and Ioe Greenberg, Han- sen suffered injuries early in the season and Andreason fill- ed the vacancy effectively. Elgin's hard hitting tackles who packed an enormous amount of power and weight were Charles Smith and Ernie Kaptain. Bill Goedert, Adolph Goldenstein, and lim Tuthill were the guards, stopping many heavy, plung- ing ball carriers. The centers, Bob Smith and Wayne Mische, filled that key position expertly with very few opponents pene- trating the line at that point. Bill Herrin, Munson Anderson, Sam Sauceda, Paul Turner, and Captain Don Anderson were the tricky, speedy backs of the freshmen-sophomore eleven.
