VARSITY LETTERMEN PAUL BALDWIN Hpauli' Left End and Co-Captain When the team elected Paul co-captain they didnit make a mistake. l-le was quiet and determined on the gridiron and always played a steady, consistent game. Constantly a deadly tackler, Paul'i was also the teamis best blocker. It will be a tough job to Fill his shoes next year. CHARLES MORRELL Charlie Left Tackle and Co-Captain Charlie was also a capable leader for the blue and white gridders. He started the year as 1 a halfback, but when a tackle was needed he was shifted to the line. l-lere he was always a thorn in the side of the opponents. l-lis Fighting spirit will be missed next year. ROBERT BROWN Brownie Left Guard Brownie is a hard charger and was constantly smearing opposing backs before they got started- few, if any, men have outplayed him, and with his never say diei' spirit he should rise to great heights next year. KENNETH BROBECK i'Kenny Right Guard Kenny was also a hard charging lineman. l-le played a scrappy game all the time he was in there. An infected foot kept him out of a few games, but not long enough to keep him from winning the respect of other teams, PAUL GAMBLE i'Beansi' Left Halfback Beans was the team's star Hrunning backf' Time after time he broke loose for big gains on end runs and lateral passes. l-le was also a good defensive man. Several times he intercepted enemy passes and ran for a touchdown. He will be a big aid next year. ANTHONY CONTI i'Tony Substitute Back Although i'Tony was not a regular he had the distinction of being the team's hardest plunging back. l-le ran low and hard and was rarely stopped without gain. lt's too bad that Tony graduates. HARRY FAlRMAN ifairmanw Substitute Tackle Fairman was a great help to the team. l-le could be injected into the line at any time without weakening it. l-le should win a regular position next year if he lives up to expectations. JONAS C. KASZER iiJoney Right Halfbaclc Joney was Rochies' mighty atom of the gridiron. l-lis fierce tackling has made him feared in the last two years, l-lis first position is in our backfield, his second in the opponents. JOSEPH CONTI Joe Right Tackle Joe's great speed and size helped Rochy in many a close game last fall. With two more years to go, Napoleon will be a great asset in the Taylor machine 27
