JOE ALLEN - End Joe, playing his first year on the varsity proved a valuable pass catcher, and also a good pass defense man. Joe's outstanding play of the season was an 80 yard TD run on the second half kickoff in the game against Paxton. FRANCIS MOUL - Half Fuzz played end on de- fense and half on offense. He has been a regular for two years and lettered for three. Fuzz caught the pass for a TD in the last four seconds of the game to defeat Elsie. His best game was probably against Palisade, - --r.--7 77,-Y-----,W . -.-P. ----.----3' Ve- .-'-,'-.,-.g-.-,1--- -- BILL TJADEN - Center Bill T jaden was the pleasant surprise of the 1953 season, He played consistent ball throughout the season and proved to be one of the top tacklers. He is a three year letterman. His best game was against Palisade. DEAN KORNELSEN - Quarter Dean has lettered-as a regular for two.years now and we are looking forward to one more year of top ball from him. He has alternated between quarter and half both years. He was an exceptional ball handler on the team this year. 1- lv H - - iw- -- - - WENDELL CAROTHERS End Wendell started slow but finished the season with a bang. He is only a Sopho- more and should be a valuable asset to the team for two more years. Cool- ness is his greatest asset, GARY JOHNSON - Half Gary was one of the better ground gainers in western Nebraska this year. He has lettered for three years and we expect him to keep on with his sparkling play V for one more year. Moul and Johnson were team captains.

Francis Moul is playing his third year as a letterman. This is his first year at the forward spot and he is doing yeoman work. He is potent with his jump shot from the side and is cur- rently second in the scoring column of a well- balanced scoring team. Moul is one of the better ball handlers also. FRANCIS MOUL JOE ALLEN MAURICE HAZZARD Joe Allen switched from the post position last year to make the other forward spot. He sparkles as a rebounder and feeder, and also on the defensive. Maurice Hazzard, at 6' 2 is the big surprise of the season, He came along from the B squad of last year to take over the post position on the varsity. He is only a sophomore and should develop into quite a threat the next two years, Dean Kornelsen, who can fill in at any position is currently holding down the guard spot. He is tough on rebounding and a good deceptive ball handler, As the annual goes to the press Dean is leading in free throws. Gary Johnson at 5' 10 is the shortest player on the first five. Despite this factor he gets his share of the rebounds and is the playmaker of the team, This is Garys third year as a letterman and second as a regular. He made the grade on the district all- star team last year as a Sophomore. DEAN KORNELSEN
