JOHN GLIDDEN Quarterback lack had a great selection of plays which he used to a great advantge. Calling plays from the blocking back post, he led the interterers in opening the holes. We are going to miss him next year. KEN PARIS End Ken could be depended on to turn in a stellar performance in every game. He had the distinction of scoring North- land's first touchdown last season. We regret seeing him leave the squad. CLIFFORD HOSSELTON End Mo played sixty minutes of hard, clean ball in every game last season. Though he was smalll he just couldn't be taken out on any play. It will be hard to fill his place next year. RAY REIBER Tackle Though he had only one year of football previous to this year, Ray proved that he could hold his own with the best of them. Next year is his last at Northland. IA CK KULL Guard Though he was the lightest man in the line, Iack's fight and charge gained him a first string berth. Our only re- gret is that he was not discovered earlier in the season. RAY STROM End Strom played a good game at end, covering punts downtield in grand style. He will be with us next season. DICK MAKHOLM Tackle Though he was out with injuries most of the season, Makholm showed that he could play good ball, and should see a lot of action next year.
