IQ44 Football Lettermen NORMAN WHIT WHITAKER fCaptain Quarterback '42, '43, '44J Whit will long be remembered for his fightin' spirit and his history-making 110-yarfl touchdown dash. IVAN EFFIE TAYLOR ICO-captain, Tackle '43, '-141 One of the best linemen to grace the gridiron for the Mules. Effie was a consistent fighter. HOWARD FOOZY FRANCIS fGuard '42, '43, '44J One of the best guards in the conference this year. He will be hard to replace. ALLEN POOCH SIELERT fEnd '43, 44D He played. swell ball all year in both backfield and line. Losing Poocl1 will be a tough blow to the Mules. BOB MUSCLES DODWELL fTackle '43, '44, His intestinal fortitude made him man to stop. We lose a good man in tion this year. LEO IRISH SARACINI fGuard '43, '44D The old Hfightin' Irish was a hard stop. He came out of the line in the game to score. MORRIS CRUSHER STOKES QFullback '43, '44j a hard gradua- man 1 m Kennett Morris had that kind of spirit that urges a team on. He played a good brand of ball all SCHSOH. ELDON BRAIN STORM PALMER fFullback '43, '44J His first full season of football with the Mules. He was one of the most graceful runners and blockers to play in a Mule backfield. JODA LARDY BESS fGuard '43, '44J He stood like a brick wall and. drove like a locomotive. We are expecting Lardy to team 'em up next year. BOB YI SECHREST fEnd '43, '44j Bob's second season as a regular end. His kicking pulled the Mules out .of many holes. He will make his last appearance next season. CHARLES CHUCK ATKINS lHalfback '44J One of the smashingest backs in S. E, Mo. He racked up nine touchdowns this season and should be a real ground gainer next year. REX GARMAN fHalfback '44j Our Freshman halfback put on a fine exhibi- tion for his first year. His streaks netted him six T.D.'s this season. EUGENE GENE HIGHLEY fCenter '44J Gene's first football letter. His weight will be missed in the center of the line next year. J. O. JOE WEST CTackle '44J Our number one utility man. His 190 pounds of fight will be missed next year. F. J. SCHWEITZER lHalfback '44J His first year in athletics here. He was always good for a few yards when called upon. EUGENE GENE MOORE CQuaFterback '44j His first year of football he filled Capt. Whit- aker's shoes when needed. He would have maflo a real back next year. G. R. BLANKS fEnd '44J Number one utility end, was always ready to balance up either wing. He was a bang-up player. BOB LITTLE BOB THACKER fHalfback '44, Size made no difference to Bob. He really put his heart in the games. His only handicap was that he was a SENIOR. CARUTHERSVILLE 127-143 We won a hard-fought game over the US. Mo. Champs. Atkins was outstanding in the backfield, and Taylor proved the outstanding lineman, Behind at the half 13-12 we won the game by a 2 touchdown margim. JACKSON U3-llj A game that kept the crowd guessing. The Indians couldn't break through our stone-wall line, Francis and Garman held the highlights for the evening. KENNETT Q33-05 Totally blanking the Kerunetteers, the Mules subs played the second half. Saracini was outstanding' on the line. Palmer's blocking accounted for many Mules scores. DEXTER 135-65 Capt. Whitaker did the unbelievable for the first time in the history of the school as he galloped 110 yards for a touchdown. Bess was shinilng as the lineman. Eugene I-Iighley Giaentnrj SIKESTON 113-l3J This game really put a scare into the Mules. We tied them in the last few minutes of plav. Stokes and Dodwell were on their toes all night. CHARLESTON 114-81 This game cost us the Northern Divi- sion. We spotted the Jays three touchdowns netting only two for ourselves. It was the toughest game of the season to lose. Sechrest starred at left end. CAPE CENTRAL Q18-193 The game we should have won. Garman's passes to Palmer made this 11 miserable evening for Cape. Dodwell, Taylor, Francis and Hess held the center of the line like a wall. DEXTER Q19-65 The annual Turkey day classic was Atkin's day, running over the three Mules scores. Sielert was the one on the line rc-covering three fumbles to set up our scores.

Ranking second in the indi- vidual scoring he netted 98 points for the season, the total was low due to ankle injuries received in the early part of the season. His streaks and long dribbles were a great factor in each game. You can't keep a good athlete forever, but the school will never forget you. Graduate. PAUL ABSHEER CCO-Capt.-Forward '44, '45J Abbie always had plenty of hustle and fight during the games. He was a consistent fighter and fought his heart out in every game. Handicapped by an ankle injury, he scored but 89 points to place fourth for the season's scoring. Graduate. BOB SECRHEST LCenter '45J This is Bob's second year with the Mules and he has shown very much improvement. With the experience he has gained in the past two years he should be an all-star player next season. Bob's rebounding in the Sub-Regional Tournament saved us many a point. Bob was number two scorer for the season with 103 points. One more season. GENE MOORE fGuard '45J Gene was the other outstanding player for the Mules this year, though it was his first year he was high-point man for the seasoin. Gene always kept a cool head and steady nerves and his rare .overhead push-shot put in a good portion of the Mules' scores. Too bad he couldn't have been discovered sooner. He was a con- stant fighter and worked hard for his letter. Graduate. HERBERT ABSHEER fForward '45J Little Abbie was the only under-classman on the starting five and he put on a fine exhibition of ball playing. The team needed one long shot artist and Herbert came into the line-up for that position. Herbert was high-point man for the B squad this season and also fifth high for the UA. With two more years in his high school basketball career we expect to see him go places. Two more seasons. CHARLES ATKINS fGuard '45J Chuck was another member of the team who had plenty of scrap. Of course he did try a few off-tackle bucks the early part of the season but he developed into a nice ball-handler. His playing in the last two games brought out his natural ability which should. be valuable to the team next year. Olne more season. G. R. BLANKS fForward '45J Starting the first five games of the season G. R. was moved back to the substitute position for Little Abbie who had come into the regular line-up. This is G. R.'s third year of basketball and his first year to letter. We are looking for- ward to having this all-star forward back next season. One more season. LEO SARACINI fGuard '45D ' V 1 Playing his second year of basketball on the first team Leo made his letter. Though not a regular, he was one of the strongest reserves and in playing full games against Bloomfield and Dexter he showed that he really had the ole fight that a team needs to win. We lose a good athlete and a swell all-around fellow in Leo this year. Graduate. kk d BASKETBALL QUEEN .J Jeane Hall Six Q f.
