Fred Folino-End-Cleveland Red, after making All-Ohio center lasi year, was switched to end this year and was All-Ohio again. For the second straight year he was named the most valuable player by his team- mates. Iohn Spezzaierro - End - Cleve- land Spe-zz is just a Sophomore and has two big years ahead ot him. He picked up plenty of experience and should be a tough man to keep oft that first team next year. Iohn Sonich-Guard-Cleveland lohn is a three year warrior at Heidelberg. This boy Sonich was so tough that he would just moi- der de bums. George Light-Guard-New Phil- ddelphicr Hunter was also a three year man but his senior year was moved from blocking back to guard, where he did a creditable job-we'll miss his iight next year. Robert Booth-Haliback-Tiffin Smallest, yet most aggressive man on the squad. Boots has one year left in which he should prove invaluable. Despite his size he was a hard hitter. Dale Schussler - Guard - New Philadelphia Slusser, one of the most iaith- ful, hard working, hard playing men on the team, is only a Soph- omore and should be tough the next two years. Iohn Harmon - Tackle - Sugar- creek Kraut was our one man cy- clone on his side of the line. It was just plain suicide for the op- ponents to come near him. Kraut is a three year letter- man and will be hard to replace next year. Richard Winter - Hcxlfback - St. Petersburg, Florida Dick was bothered by injuries all year but still won his letter and should be hard to stop the next two years. Edward Heqlcxw - End - Cleve- land Big Ed was a man who could get the ball if the backs just threw it within 40 yards of him. A two year letterman with an- other big year ahead of him- watch his smoke!
