John De Pue, 150 pound fullback, averaged Palatine had the best grid team in the school's his- tory and the reason was the skillful coaching of Carl Megel. With four lettermen and a flock of inexperi- enced underclassmen Megel turned out a team which met all opponents on even terms. Palatine was the most im- proved ball team in the conference this year. Pirates Surprise Loop Palatine was the dark horse of the confer- enc this past season. Rated weakest in the loop at the outset, the Pirate grid team came through, E SPOTLIGHT 1934 with the surprising record of one victory, I runt Row- -John 'lllltlXlllllIl.

Facts About the Griclclers better than three yards for each ball carrying at- tempt of the season. . . Passing and calling of signals by Shrimp Reuse, heady quarterback, was main spring of team. . . Howie Krambier's long punts-Pirate's best defense and offense in first four games. Howie lost in midseason with injuries. . . Consistent ground gaining of Tudy- man stood out. Remember Arlington game?--- Mangels' 25 yard run on trick play had Heights back on their heels. . . Philbin's forward pass re- ceiving sensational in Warren and Barrington games. . . Neagle and Helms, dependable ends, also could snare passes. . . Kruse, hard charging, ac- curate passing center. . . Nelson and Engelking, best Sophomore linemen in conference. . . Eddie Hahnfeldt a star from the start and best punter in conference though without experience until joining team late in October. . . Gaare, good dc- fensive guard, filled big hole in line. . . Ray Hin- richs, mediocre tackle of 1932, a star of 1933 cam- paign. . . Megel, hard working friendly coach. . . Who wouldn't work for him? two ties, and two defeats in the Confer- ence, and a pair of victories outside the loop. The Pirates scored 52 points to 57 for their opponents. Coaches Megel and Vervloet had a big squad numbering about 40, but the pros-- pects were discouraging. Only Philbin at end and Hinrichs at tackle were experi- enced linemen while De Pue and Reuse were the only backfield veterans. However the new men learned rapidly under expert coaching and the veterans rose from medi- ocre players in 1932 to conference stars in 1934. The season opened with a 12 to 0 victory over Niles Center as a feature of the Pala- tine Fall Festival. The following week Pal- atine traveled to Gurnee to meet the highly touted Warren eleven and played great ball to se- cure a 7 to 7 tie. Palatine had a big edge over War- ren and the breaks are all that prevented a victory. Outplaying Bensenville by a wide margin, the Pirates scored but once for a 6 to 0 victory bc- cause of fumbles and other breaks handed the op- position. The veteran Leyden eleven was played on even terms except for a few plays in the second and third periods when the Eagles scored to win 12 to 0.

Goal line fumbles were all that saved Barrington from de- feat as the Pirates threatened repeatedly. Arlington defeated Palatine 32 to 13 in a free scoring game. Palatine could not stop Koel- ling and S. Szasz and neither could the Cards handle De Pue and Tudyman. The first downs were 10 to 8 and Palatine had its best yardage record of the year with 171. The season ended with a 14 to 6 win over Bensenville. P.'l'.H.S YEAR BOOK
