nzeetcglzoseflfwlzogxceff State H Qlrialclers Cecil George 00 petefs R055 Field general for the all-staters is versa- tile Ross Peterson of Millard, acclaimed by coaches as one of the smoothest backs in the state-great offensively and de- fensively. He weighs only 165 pounds, but he's a football powerhouse when he dons the moleskins. A nice passer and punter, and smart as they come: he's just the leader to make the all-state eleven click. -Salt Lake Tribune, November 29, 1945 . . Cecil George of Millard was, with- out doubt. one of the state's most per- sistent wingmen, regardless of size of schools. George was the heart of the Eagle eleven, and a big reason why they reached the semi-final playoff. He knows when to crash in or when to drift with the play. He was hard to take out, and hardly ever taken in. -Salt Lake Tribune, November 29, 1945 gntermountain Qoxing Glzampions Dick Warner Lalwa' Payne DICK WARNER-light heavyweight champion Novice Division-a sophomore, went all the way to crown himself and his Alma Mater with the highest possible glory, an A.A.U. championship. Young, aggressive and hardened through faithful training, Dick left no doubt that he can master himself as well as others in the square ring, A fast straight left and a powerful right brought him to might. LAMAR PAYNE-bantamweight champion Iunior Di- vision-small in size, but packed full of dynamite, proved that 118 pounds of muscles and bones can, when excited, perform the greatest deeds of heroism. Fast on foot, accurate in blows, quick in thinking, LaMar could not help but win the favor of the grand- stand and a wellfdeserved knock-out victory rewarded with an A.A.U. crown. Aggressiveness and alertness marked this senior as one of the elite.
