PAUL BELLOWS. MINN, STANWARD KIM. Coach Captain. End Halfback FOOTBALL WITH THE COACHING of Bob Shaw, the Leilehua Mules played their second year in the Senior Inter- scholastic league. Last year failure stalked the team and success seemed far away, but this year's story was different. Although the scores were not always to our credit, there was no question in anybody's mind as to the marked improvement in playing. With Wilbert Minn as captain, the boys played ex- ceptionally fine football throughout the season. With many recruitson the team for the first time, Coach Shaw discovered and developed them into real football material. With this group as a nucleus for next year, the loss of this year's seniors will not be so seriously felt. I In the backfield Stanward Kim led the attack and the two ends, Wilbert Minn and Gilbert Procter, fol- ldwed through to a successful finish. Outstanding players were: Cullen Auerbach, Kim- ball Chun, Nam Sun Chung, George Kamana, Elia Kim, Ralph Kim, Robert Lee, Wilbert Minn, Gilbert Procter, Max Suzuki, and Koichi Tamura. Richard Lee was chosen captain for next year. PHILIP OWEN. Manager MICKEY SHON, Manager HOWARD KAM. Halfbuck KIMBALL CHUN. End LES HEIRICH. Hcxlfback
