It takes brains to be an efficient defensive man? For those of you who like facts: the 1973 Varsity Football team of the MHS has compiled many outstanding accomplishments: they scored 136 points and only allowed 62; they set a school record of 23 interceptions by eight different men; they had two monster linebackers totaling 286 tackles; and 19 underclassmen as returning letter winners for the next season in addition to the 18 seniors who have played their last game for MHS. To point out the outstanding material playing for Monroe, we list those men placed upon the All-Conference Team: Bob Silvis, Steve Sutter, Tom Elmer, Tim Dearth, Eric Cerbins, Bob Stormont, Paul Marty, Alex McKeown, Dick Halvorson, Joe Motz, Dennis Holyoke, Bob Stormont, Bill Rufenacht, Steve Erickson, Doug Bahler. And for the rest of you the story goes like this: A good arm of Sutter to the good hands of Dearth, the other backs, and the offensive ends, combined with quick feet, lots of desire and hard-line blocking resulted in a team of superior quality. Now mix in four (?) determined coaches, a little bad luck, a huge unit of inclement weather, a few loud mouth fans, a spirited cheerleading section, and darkness, and what do you get? A vicious team that enjoyed Friday nights playing smear the queer. You meet some awfully weird people on a football field and in the stands surrounding it. But then, what else are extra-curricular activities for? Assumption and Monroe at the line. What goes through a man’s mind while waiting for the signal to charge over that fellow on the other side of the narrow white line? Ask this defense, no, better still, see what they’ve done.
