Rick Kolar says, “It’s good!” YORE Pm at Ves) 6 ®. i yy Py f 4 ? oom By ‘ ya Al ala Team co-captains Dutch Baker and Jon Dick. Football Entering the suburban league proved a challenge to head coach Ring, and his tactics centered around capitalizing on other team’s mistakes. Coach Ring was also proud of the work the defense did. Credits to our defense were Rocky Paliotto, senior hard-hitting linebacker, who man- aged to intercept two passes in the first five games, and Nick Schkurko, who added a dazzling job in the defensive backfield. Starring with an exceptional job in passing was co-captain Dutch Baker, who also added two inter- ceptions in one game to his credit. The other co-captain was returning letterman Jon Dick. It is morale that wins the victory. 25
