Big RiVer's Conference Crown john, also a defensive stand-out, was selected to the All-conference second team. In addition to this rushing record, John led the team in scoring with 40 points and yards per carry, with an average of six yards every time he lugged the leather. Tom Garnett, unanimous choice for All-con- ference guard, paced the rugged Abe defense with 61 tackles from his defensive linebacker spot. Tom, a three year letterman and co-captain this year, was voted to a first string berth on the mythical All- state team. He thus became the third Abe gridder to win this highly selective honor. Behind Garnett, on the other side of the well- balanced Abe forward wall, was senior tackle Dan Roscoe. Dan got 56 tackles this year in addition to an honorable mention on the All-conference squad. Close behind him came rugged junior center Jim Hanson with 42 tackles. jim also won a berth on the All-conference first team. The '58 Abe Football season offered many exciting moments for Memorial High football fans. The win over jinx rival Marinette in the season opener was only one of the many highlights of a long-to'be-remembered grid season. Coach Gallagher offers sage advice to his brood as they battle Sioux
