An excellent field general, punter, passer, runner, and tackier—just one of those boys that come along once in a life time. Was Captain of All-State team. Hope to see him on the All-American team in 1942. CHARLES JONES—Left-halfback. Senior. A fine runner, good safety man and a good blocker in the open. Kicked the winning point at Gary. WALLY POWERS—Wing back. Senior. A sturdy boy who loves football. Liked to block and catch punts. Played well at the defensive guard position. Fine attitude on and off the field. HENRY PEAVLER—Quarterback. Senior. Third letter in football. Carried the ball only once a year. Loved to block and did the job well—will be hard to replace—for blockers are hard to find—most boys want to let Henry do it. LOUIS LOPINSKI—Left end. Senior. An exceptional pass catcher and defensive halfback. Tackled by ear. Had two loves—Typing and snuff—just the same he will long be remembered for his pass interceptions and long runs. HORACE PAYNE—Right end. Senior. Played end with his feet, hands and head— and folks that's something. Don't sell this boy's ability short for he is one swell defensive end. Recovered the opening kick-off at Westville and crooned the remainder of the game. Honorable All-State mention. JOE STIMAC—Left tackle. Junior. Big boy with reluctant tendencies. One more 28
