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

nmumu i HUWARD ALEXANDER--IR. Howard is another junior whom the coaches have great hope. l-le plays in the line at a tackle or guard position and is one tough baby to toss out of the road. He is rather small, but plenty powerful. DELBERT IONES--SR. Dells transferred from Cham- paign and after he became accustomed to the single wing from the T-formation, Coach Freemuth ran him at wing back. He was called on a great deal for defensive work, at which he was very superb. 4 f t , , 4' . x 'if W gm ,. wr' 0 0 , f ' r - l . 8 if Hwfi fifr t . . ff, . Y . - T Yi . ,P , if I QIOIIN ELLIS--I R. Plug is a demon on defense and isn't to be laughed at when he starts pulling passes down the blue heavens. He works very smoothly from his end position and if things are right there won't be a much tougher end in the conference cofne fall of 1950. HO B MANIUEL--J R. Bob, a hari running junior who loves to carry the pigslcin over the little white line that pays off, played fullbaclf when Elmer was injured and 'lil an excellent job. Both coaches and fans are expecting hizn to do great things next fall. mhmmw LLOYD FRAY--SR. Lloyd completed his fourth year of football playing both tackle and guard, and did a very good job at both positions. He could always be counted on to turn in a good defensive game and will be missed in the line. FRANK LUBBERS--SR. Frank was one of the work- horses of the squad. He did'nt see much action but was usually one of the first out to practice and one of the last to leave. His spirit will be hard to beat in years to co rre. Such a player deserves as much or more credit than the so called stars. ff ,X v ' t
