Freshmen Go Undefeated, Again. For the second time in three years our freshmen team has gone undefeated. Over the past three years Ioliet has rolled up an as- , tounding 18 wins, 2 ties, and only 1 defeat.

Quarterback Iim Peterbok had the option to feed the ball to either fleet halfbacks Bill Lucky and Iim Nicholson or to piledriving fullback Wayne Johnson. An excellent utili- ty man, Wayne at one time or another had played all positions. According to Coach Mitchell this year's freshman line sparked by Jack Kulak and Ken Stogis proved to be one of the toughest in the school's history. The tackle spots were held down by Delmar lVIiller and Larry Levy who stopped virt- ually all action in their area. lim Nicholson hom, ' k is sh ' - . . Cfqe that wo h' ac .
