THE 1956 FOOTBALL SEASON . . . . . . was a winning Campaign under the coach- ing guidance of Al Hanke. Ray Leshner, and Carl Scichili. The Foresters unquestionably played their best games of the year during the final half of the season. If the Foresters opening game with MacAlester was any indication of what was to come. Coach Al Hanke apparently was in for a rough season. Although the score was 0 - 0, it was evident that the Foresters were not rolling yet. In the two games following. the team was defeated by Beloit, 34-6, and Illinois Wfesleyan, 18 - 8. Things began to look somewhat brighter against North Central. 6 - O. but it was evident 18 that if they had been in stride that they could have tripled that score. During the latter half of the campaign, the Big Red began to Click for the first time. Their 0 - 0 tie with Wheaton was. nevertheless, a moral victory for Lake Forest. and a crushing blow to the Crusaders. The team sufTered a setback, however, when Danny Herz, a line offensive guard and de- fensive line-backer, was lost for the season. During the Wfheaton game, and for the rest ofthe season, the passing of Ed YVilliams, and the running of Bob Shepherd, Harley Wahl, jim Hisler, Ed Chvatal, Bob Szichili, and Bill -Ioor began to take prominence.

Quarterback lid W'illiams looks for opening. XYith any luck. the Foresters would have been able to take the Millikin game. but instead were 19 - I3 losers. Hanke's squad definitely hit full stride in their final games against Elmhurst and Augustana. turning both games into near routs. The Forester defensive unit held Augie to only 88 yards, while the ofTensive squad rolled up a total of 307 yards. The team was not plagued by as many serious injuries as in the previous campaign, when there were 12 major casualties, only three of whom ever returned to action during the season. This year only one man, halfback Harvey Ricks, was lost for the entire season. One other, Dan Herz, failed to finish the year out. and several more missed one or two games. Ed XVillian1s was the Foresters individual passing leader, with 31 completions in 67 at- tempts. good for 483 yards. Alim Hisler was the leading ground-gainer with 243 yards in oil carries from his fullback position. The pass- receiving was fairly evenly distributed between Hisler and ends Mischa Rader, Dick Gehrs, and Dave Abrams. Bob Shepherd, who was badly injured in the Augie game. showed prom- ise a runner as did freshman Harley Vfahl. john Stremple. Harold Freeberg. Bob Scichili. Ed Chvatal and Bill xloor alternately ran from the halfback positions to form a fairly powerful backfield combination. Chvatal led the CCI with a 37,0 yard punting average. Fullback, Jim Hisler, gets block from Dave Abrams.
