Football—Cont. also threatened but the line again showed its dogged ability and held fast. The final score ended in a 0-0 deadlock which put Jeff into second place even though they did tie Franklin. If Jeff had won this Grant game, they would have tied Franklin for the crown. Bob Manegre and Herb Carlson were chosen on the All-City team. Bob held down a half-back position and Herb was placed at an end. In the All-Star tilt Bob Manegre loomed as the star of the game along with Deeks of Grant. Bob started things rolling for the Stars but couldn't drive deep enough to go over and the game ended a score- less tie. Most outstanding among the team's qualities was its ability to make goal line stands. In both the Grant and Franklin games, Jeff held back deep thrusts into their territory, and each time repulsed the attack. Promising lettermen who will return for the coming season are Dowty at end, Sering in the backfield, Sweeney, quarterback; Inglesby, tackle: Kerns, end, and Mc- Nicholas at half. Although only a probable twelve lettermen will return, these returning players have had plenty of experience and with the Juniors coming up will undoubtedly shape into another title-contending team.

B Football This season the Junior football squad had three wins, three losses, and a tie. Pre- season prediction had it that the baby Demos would take the championship or come close to it. However, because of numerous injuries and some bad luck, Jeff lost to Franklin, Grant, and Roosevelt. None of the games were lost by more than one touch- down. These boys showed a lot of promise and with a little practice and experience will be able to take some of the varsity positions left open by graduates. The backfield had two promising prospects in Lou Wegner and Dean Blair, who have plenty of speed and power. Elmers and Koch also looked good on the line. The team had a successful season in that its main purpose was to ready some recruits for next year's varsity. Ice Hockey This winter the Jefferson hockey team, having played a good year of hockey, finished in third place. The boys who played were Dick Bitzer, Chuck Loud, Dean Rouse, Wayne Strowbridge, Bruce Peterson, Bob Beall, Dave Kolden, Don Linstedt, Bob Fries, Tom Rouse, and Don Walker. Chuck Loud, Bob Beall, Tom Rouse, Bob Fries, Dick Bitzer, and Don Walker will not be back next season. Jeff Juniors This year Jeffs Junior basketball squad enjoyed a very successful season. Out of 16 games they won 13 and lost only 3. Steady players throughout the season were Bob Schiewe, Harold Elmers, Tom Hartung, Lou Wegner, Chuck Urness. Ken Kraus, Ron Farrell, and Bob Littlejohn. Others were George Thompson, David Summers, Harry Bigler, Owen Collins, Glenn Larson, Norman Gynther, and Frank Cook. C Basketball The Jeff C squad won the city championship this season as a result of winning all 7 games of their schedule. The spark of the team was Frank Mako. Jimmy Kraus also was a consistent scorer. Mako played for Jeff in the Goldenball tourney while Jimmy Kraus also sparkled the Jeff Hi Squirts in the tournament. The Squirts lost out to Glencoe in their second tilt, 20 to 18. Other players consistent throughout the season were Vern Liebelt, Bud Ehrlich, Walter Kelly, Wayne Stipe, Guy Jacques, Warren Schneider, Bob McEvers, and Bob Beamer.
