Sixteen 7lze Reel Captain Jerry Shalbot-Senior Halfback Jerry was our hard driving halfback. He could play almost any position in the back- field. He was used especially on the end runs and off-tackle drives. Jerry will be missed greatly next year. Lynis Cassidy-Junior Halfback Lynis was small but extremely fast and aggressive. This was Lynis' first year of varsity competition, and next year he should be a key man in the Nokomis of- fense. Herschel Logsdon-Junior Fullback Hersch played halfback as well as full- back. He was the fastest man on the team. Hersch had a bad knee which kept him out of several games. George Reed-Sophomore Quarterback George was the smallest n1an on the team but made up for this with his tricky ball handling and bullet passes. George also handled the punting chores for the Redskins. Bob Graham-Sophomore End Bob played end until he was sidelined by a hip injury in the St, lilmo game. His best game was the Moweaqua game. Stanley Archibald-Junior End Stan was our regular left end. He was a good defensive man well as a pass mic-litt'. He played his best game against Shelbyville. Rusdell Mindrup-Senior Tackle Russell won a starting berth with his defensive ability and also his willingness to work hard. Russel1's size and exper- ience made him a hard man to stop. Jack Rhodes-Senior Guard .Tack was a very good defensive man. He played his best game against Pana. He was always at his best when the going was toughest, Charles Landers-Junior Guard Bud did a swell job holding down his guard position and was seen on almost every tackle in the line. Bud has an- other good year of football ahead. Gilbert Meiners-Senior Tackle Gib earned his first football letter this year. He fought hard in every game and his determination to win earned for him his position on the team

and '7Ae Eine Eu Do Don gene Spears-Senior Fullback Spears played the latter part of the season at the fullback spot in place of Logsdon. He was a hard tackler and was exceptionally good on the straight tpiivk opening plays. nald Stauder-Sophomore l-lalfback Don saw little action playing Fi-tCiJ!lll to Shalbot and Cassidy. HQ did slum' good possibilities in his chancefa in eanios and will probably do plenty cf playing in his next two years. ald German-Junior Center Don won his second football letter this year. He won recognition from coaches as a member on the Mid-State all-star sec ond team. William Cassidy-Sophomore Guard b1ll,S size and strong bllllfl imuu- mul a strong defensive lineman. Ile should be one of the outstanding linemen on the team in the next two years. William Pechnik-Senior' End Jac Nor Bill used his height and experjmice to good advantage at his end spot, Hu was especially good on spot passes diregly over the line. He played his best game against Moweaqua. k Nash-Senior End Jack who played end regularly only the lat- ter part of the season proved his ability as a pass receiver. Jack played good foot ball in the Shelbyville game and did ex- ceptionally well against Kincaid. man Chadwick-Sophomore Center Chad played center and got into several games. With a little more weiglit, Chad will be a main cog in the next two years. Merle Herpstreith-Sophomore Tackle Herb saw little action because of a broken finger which kept him out most of the season. Ralph Heck-Sophomore Guard Ton Ralph. like Chad , saw action in several games and with his size and more exper- ience should be a valuable guard in com- ing years. y Stolsek-Senior Tackle Tony was one of tne team's most faith- ful workers. Although Tony did not get into many games, he deserves a great deal of credit for the spirit which he showed in these games.
