i Lettermen this year were Bill Busching, Dick Witter, Tom Gibbs, Jim Treadwell, Frank Simpson, John Dall, Dudley LaPointe Art Parlin, Frank Beyer, Art Treadwell, Gary Goodin, Ron LeClair, Ray Baker, Ron St, Louis, Richard Brockway, Dick Jenness, Ray Savoy, Roger Clapp, and Manager Ross Wyman. This year's efforts nearly gained us our second consecutive state championship. And with a few breaks at certain crucial times, we easily might have done so. The team, although ham- pered by inexperience, proved to be powerful in all departments. This is a tribute to Coach Emerson's untiring efforts. He will lose eight seniors, but should have the nucleus for an excellent team next year. This outstanding season increased Coach Emerson's enviable six year record at Orono to 30 Wins, 12 losses, and 5 ties. This page sponsored by Treworpzys', Main St..

HIUIBAH Although eight first stringers were lost from the '52 squad, the Riots again came up with a football powerhouse compiling a 6-l -l record which nearly equaled that of last year's team. The broken field running and excellent passing of Art Parlin and Bill Busching, plus the efforts of hard-charging Art Treadwell and Ron LeClair were the nucleus of a powerful, well balanced offense. The line was capably filled at each position. Ends John Dall and Bill Busching were great on both offense and defense. Tackles Dick Witter, Dudley LaPointe, and Ray Baker were defensive standouts with Tom Gibbs, Frank Simpson, and .lim Treadwell completing the rugged center wall. Frank Beyer handled the kickoff assignments and was also out- standing offensively. D. GKUOS. Hung' ii. T- G. . A. Tteadwile: 3' pixel 'O R' i Yallln' GOO ' E Tammy' . PX- an ' HSBD , ' - Buscmngs 9.
