Football CHESTER WOODALL--SR. Chet, the biggest boy on the squad, played at an end posi- tion most of the season taking over fullback duties occasion- ally. He ranked second best of all tacklers and the boys voted him outstanding player for the season. ELMER LYON S--SR. Elmer was our first-string full- back when he was'r1t out with an injury. In the first game he received a broken nose which kept him out of action for a couple of weeks. A little. later on he received a leg injury which kept him hopping most Of the season. R 'EWS RICHARD GADBURY--SR. Rich has been paged as one of the greatest athletes at Monticello. He is a natural end but due to lack of power in the backfield shifted to tailback. Ooponents likened him to a mad bull in football for his tackles really rocked them. He was elected by his teammates as Captain at the end of the season. ,W fl' ROY BENVI AMIN--SR. Roy was another of our bigger boys. Ile was a little late getting-started but after he got rolling he was one tough cookie. The fellows say that one way to get an opposite player mad was to tell Roy to use his feet and that was the end. Letterman DARRELL BAILEY--SR. Buckethead came out for foot- ball this year with a determined idea that he could make a place for himself on the first eleven and made his idea a reality. Xu. s 2 I Q , wg O s 5 l FRANK HOFFMAN--SR. The Hard-Luck Kid firally went through a season without any trouble at all. Frank played a very good season and his long runs helped us very much at many times. The fact that he won't be back next year will weaken our backfield consider- ably. : ..,. li tr l 5 . 6 I iv i ext 4 t , p , 1 v'?1'f59sw

The loss of the Arcola game must have made the Sages mad or something, because they went out and ran over Cerro Gordo by about 25 points. Frank iloffman again headed the scoring list with two touchdowns. The other boys did alright too, as the total score was 31. Armistice day dawned clear and warm as our boys took the field for the final game against their great rivals from Bement. The gridders proved to be warm too scoring a touchdown in each quarter for a total of 26 points. Bement threw a small scare in the third quarter when they scored two touchdowns in rapid succession. But the Sages had no intention of closing the season with a defeat so they snapped back and the final score was 26 to l2. So ended an interesting if not a spectacular season GROUND GAIN ERS Players Times iarried Yds. Gained Av, a F.
