Coaches: Westphal, jones. Football Team Head football coach Westphal and assistant coach Iones did a tremendous job with the football team. Football is a rough sport, and the boys had to be in good condition for it. Every- body being in condition was a major factor in the games. The boys were nobody's push-over. Football is a team sport and without the cooperation of each player nothing could be accomplished successfully. Although the backs did most of the scoring, none of this could have been possible without our tough, hard-hitting line, the unknown heroes of the gridiron.
