'19 1491 251112 45 FOOTBALL This year' 5 football team may not have had a too impressive record in the won and lost column, but they always gave the opposing team' 'a good run for their money, as D'0c would say. Bob Allen, playing left end had a great year. Bob was one of those boys who was always willing to get in the game and give all he had. Playing next to Bob was Yate Deer. Weigh ing about 205 Yate was continually in there bringing down the opponent s backfield stars. Louis Graeter one of the lightest but scrappiest guards Plainville has ever had consistantiy played a bang up game until he broke his wrist. The first string center was Ray Adkins, one of the big prospects at Plainvilie. Ray became an exceptional line back, as a result of a lot of hard practice, Roy oner, the other guard, was always in the game fighting his heart out to win. This year's captain was Jerry Roberts. At tackle Ierry became the best player on the team. One oi the hardest workers, Iermr was well-titted for his leadership. Plainviiie had three other ends who proved their worth to the team. Joe Ferguson could invariably be depended upon to fill the bill 86 as a tough end Ed Grain always played strongly on defense, and Dave Cotes proved that he really could catch passes especially in the Lockland game. where he put on a one man show. Dave Thompson, one of the up and com- ing tulibacks, played hard and consistantiy. Dave had a powerful driVe that usually took three men to stop. Dean Kaiser, the team's high scorer, showed his speed and skill in the season's big up- set with Wyoming by scoring the two win- ning touchdowns, Nelson Beckler, playing his third year of football, was a good ball carrier and a great defense halfback. Bill Crigler, who did. a great job in taking over the quarterback position, sparked the team in winning its two victories over Wyom- ing and Milford. A boy who played any position just to get into the game was Gordon DeWeese. His fighting spirit was a great asset to the team. Juniors who had a big hand in the team's victories were Bob Ahr and Jim Potter. Ahr, the boy with the educated toe, kicked the extra point that won the Wyoming game. Many Freshmen and Sophomore boys were on the team, and they are the ones who will be the future stars of Plainville.
