Red Devils LEROY LUNN Leroy Lunn, a sophomore played varsity football this year and played a very good game at guard. As a player he is fast, and very good both offensively and defensively. We’re expecting things from you next year, Leroy. Lots of luck! HAROLD LEVIN Harold Levin played a brilliant game as a sub half back. He will see action from the fullback spot next season. Levin caried the ball 50 times for 362 yards and scored 5 touchdowns for 30 points. We’ll certainly he glad to have him back next year, and we’re wishing him loads of luck. Harold is a junior. EDDIE PIZZAMIGLIO Eddie, who was on the second squad his junior year, was promoted to the first string this year as center. He developed into a truly fine center and was a rugged line backer. We’ll miss you, Eddie. LEROY GRIVETTI Leroy, only a sophomore, played his first year on the varsity. He demonstrated his ability as a fast open field runner and as a good pass receiver. He is fast and shifty, and he should develop into one of the outstanding backs from Ladd. Good luck, Leroy. JEROME HAYWOOD Jerry is a junior who played substitute end this year, thus earning for himself a regular end spot next fall. He was very good on defense and played an excellent game. Good luck to you. ART LEINDECKER Art, a senior, played substitute end for Meek. He was used defensively. Art, handicapped early in the season with a sprained ankle, did himself proud by the end of the season. We’ll miss you, Art. JOHN FULARA Big John, a senior, played a “basg-up” game in the line. He was a rugged individual whose size made him a threat to any team. The team will miss him. SAM POTTER Sam, a senior from Bureau, was handicapped at the beginning of the season with a knee injury. He was quite a loss to the team because he was unable to do any job, was quick at analyzing plays, and was a rugged player. We’ll miss you, Sam. JOHN PERINO Buddy Perino, a backficld man with two years varsity experience, was handicapped with a leg injury early in the season and saw little action. Buddy is a senior who will be missed. Jim Savio, Ted Dcserf, Pat Sobin, and Sam Rahberg were all juniors who will be back to build up the team next year. They should be a rugged line on defense and offense. “Treat ’em rough’’, boys. Elmore Haney and Fred Miller were seniors who were out practicing all year with the team and proved a great help. Top: Kenneth Weeks, senior left tackle; Leroy Lunn, sophomore right guard; Harold Levin, junior right half back; Ed Pizzamiglio, center. . Bottom: Leroy Grivetti, sophomore left half back; Jerry Haywood, junior left end; Art Leindecker, senior right end; John Fulara, senior right tackle.
