Dick, of course, is known for his strong endur- ance as well as his slashing style of play. Coach Larry Kentera, who hails from Globe, Arizona is complet- ing his second year at Palo Verde College. Recieved his B. A. at Arizona State College at Tempe where he was also an outstanding back and line backer. Now a bcckfield coach, he is also head baseball men- tor. aac6 Coach Tony Balsamo, born in Lawrence, Mass. He is also completing his second year at Palo Verde. Another Arizona State College product, he also recieved his B.A. there. Known to many as Big Tony, he was also referred to by many as be- ing the ruggedest lineman ever to hit Tempe. Besides his foot- ball duties, he is also head track coach.

His great play and outstanding sportsmanship earned him an All-Con- ference berth two consecutive years. Dick, rather light for a guard at 170 pounds, nevertheless made up for it in ruggedness and aggressiveness. He was at his best when the chips were down. Always a conditioned ball player, he was one of the Pirates ' 60-minute men. Very few possess the qualities and initiative that Dick has. That is why the coaches and players proclaimed him as being truly a ball play- er ' s ball player. Despite his terrorizing play on the field, he is a gentleman in every respect. His modesty and unselfishness have won him the admiration of everyone who knows him. Dick is very interested in the field of military science, and would like to continue his education at West Point. w n ABOVE, READING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, BACK ROW: Bob Downs, Ruben Jimenez, Art West, Mrs. West, Mrs. Farroge, Dick Forroge, Mrs. Barrozo, Mrs. Jimenez, Mrs. Brunenkont, Mrs. Downs.
