The 1949 Hornet football team completed its season with a 2-6 record, worst since 1940, and placed fifth in the MIAA. A tough schedule plus iniuries to key players handicapped the gridders most of the fall. ln their first season under Coach Lloyd lDobl Grow, the Hornets opened with a 13-7 win over DePauw. Freshman quarterback Phil Dillman threw two touchdown passes to end George Mason and halfback Vito Tutera, with tackle Conrad Hinz adding a point after touchdown. Kazoo fell to Wooster, 20-26, the following weekend in probably the best game of the year. After losing the Homecoming game to Hillsdale, Kazoo spoiled AIbion's alumni weekend with a 21-7 verdict over the Britons. Dick Cain took over passing duties and tossed to ends Milt Christen and Garry Brown for scores. Bob Simanton, the team's leading ground gainer, added the third TD. Hinz kicked all three placements. Losses to Valparaiso, Adrian, Alma and Hope ended the season. A heavy loss by graduation hit Kazoo for the first time since the war. Senior gridders include Val Jablonski, Milton Christen, Horace Webb, James Edwards, Alvin lDougl Bourgeois, Charles Wright, Italo lAcel Candoli, Noble Sievers, Howard lGusl Southworth, Kenneth Youngs, James Nawrot, Robert Distin and Spencer Burns. Many of them have starred on Hornet football teams since 1946. Twenty-two returning lettermen, however, bolster K College's 1950 football plans. 107
