I Havard Jackson, James Markley, Larry Gillin, Edwin Kostora, Reed Mardis. Senior Leiiermen FOOTBALL DANIEL BUCZEK was an aggressive guard, fast and alert on leading interference. At tackle, LYNN CRAMER was a thorn in the side of all opposition, The diminutive halfback, LARRY GILLIN, was a deceptive speed merchant. CAPTAIN MILAN GJURICH proved himself adept in calling the right play at the right time. RODNEY GOUGHNOUR showed versatility by substituting for the iniured in any backfield position. A terror on the defense, tackle RONALD GUNNY stopped the opposition for many losses. At left halfback, HAVARD JACKSON gained much valuable yardage around the ends. MICHAEL KALINYAK always hustled and his fine blocking as a guard greatly aided the Blue Jays cause. Right halfback EDWIN KOSTORA, the team's long distance runner, was high scorer for the season, REED MARDIS, hard-smashing fullback, was sidelined most of the time due to injuries. Husky guard, JAMES MARKLEY, found pleasure in breaking up the interference for opposing backs, Lanky end, PATRICK MORIARITY, was the target for many of the Blue Jay passes, DONALD PAVINA was used as a defensive halfback against the passes of the opposition. BASKETBALL JOHN FRANKO displayed speed and accuracy in passing at a forward position. Guard HAVARD JACKSON, an expert ball-handler, was the key man in the Blue Jay offense.
