Q4 Nineleen Thirlq-Six Trail HAROLD NIQUETTE, Center, Junior Although not very heavy for the pivot post, Niquette passed the ball baclc smoothly and was a consistent defense man. ALFRED HARGRAVE, Guard and Center, Sophomort Al started the season and played in the first few games at guard but later played as a reserve center. GARVIN VAN MATRE, I-Ialfbackjunior With a speed that made him hard to catch once he broke away, Van Matre gained yards consistently and should be a mainstay in the team next year. EARL PADFIELD, Guard, junior Earl was a constant fighter and a hard man to block out of a play. Earl did not see regular service this year, but should be a first-string man next year.

He called signals and did a good job piloting the team. BILL SHEDDON, I-lalfback, Senior Bill's speed was shown in every game when he carried the ball on reverse plays and ran interference. This was Bill's first year on the team. EVERETT JUKES, Fullback, Senior Jukes battered the opponents, line every game and consistently gained ground. He lettered when a a sophomore but was unable to play in his junior year. BILL BROWN, Fullback, Junior Bill was very accurate in finding the holes in the opponents, line and was a good defensive player. JOHN CROWTHER, Quarterback, Senior John played the blocking back position and was always in the game playing his hardest until the last gun went off. RICHARD NETHAWAY, I-Ialfbacle, Senior Dick did not see as much service as some of the other backfield candidates, but gave his best in regular games or in practice. CLIFFORD WoLFsoN, End, Senior Although light for a wing man, Cliff was charg- ed with enthusiasm and the desire to win. I-le was a good pass receiver and always down fast under punts. CLIFFORD WILBUR, End, junior Tib was hard to block out and was always fight- ing his hardest, winner or loser. He was the best forward-pass receiver on the team. ROLLAND NELSON, Manager, Sophomore Rolly, who served as manager, was both effi- cient and dependable. His optimistic view of foot- ball events helped to keep up the morale of the team. HARoLD KOHMAN, Tackle, Senior Kohman was a stone wall on defense and could pile through the opponents' line on offensive play. Harold could always be counted on to fill a line gap. ELTON LARUE, Tackle, Senior Elr did not see as much regular service as some other lineman but could be relied on to play his hardest no matter what the score, LEONARD FRIEDSEN, Guard, junior Leonard's speed and weight made him a great interference runner. l-le had no mean ability to knife through che opponents' forward wall on defensive play. GLENN VAN CLEEF, Guard, Junior Van Cleef was a hard tackler, active and aggres- sive, and always was in the game giving his best. HARVEY MCARTHUR, Guard, Senior McArthur pierced through the opponents' line on the defense and was practically immovable on of- fensive play. He was often through the line to spill the ball carrier before he got well in action. fcontinued on next pagel 4 R ,df 1 -gk 5 3 T I

Salina I-liqh bchools W fr L25 JACK CLARK, Senior, Guard. Dependable and with a never-give-up spirit, Jack played for all he was worth in the games. He fol- lowed his man doggedly on defense and sank many high arching swishers from his guard berth. JOHN CROWTHER, Senior, Forward John did not see service in every game, but his cool- headedness made him a very valuable asset to the team. He was consistent and a good ball hustler. ARTHUR HALE, Senior, Center Dude,, used his height to the greatest advant- age and did his best work under the basket. Al- though not experienced at the pivot post at the first of the year, Dude developed into a steady untiring player. ALFRED HARGRAVE, Sophomore, Guard Al played a fine type of basketball this season. He is a good passer and should have two very suc- cessful years to come. BOB KAUFFMAN, Senior, Forward Swarming all over the opponents and fast cn the break, Bob prcved to be one ofthe main spokes in the Marccn wheel. He dribbled with the preci- sion of a clock and passed well. Bob moved here from McPherson early in the school year, BU TEAMS BOB PRINGLE, Junior, Forward Bob saw in and out service most of the season. Whether on the court or on the bench, he was al- ways eager for victory. RALPH SToLz, junior, Guard When Stolz got a hot streak, he usually scored from anywhere on the floor. He was also a good de- fensive player. BILL QUINLEY, Sophomore, Forward Size did not hamper Bill any as far as basket- ball was concerned. Full of scrap and fighting spirit, Bill was always in on rebounds and ready for a setup. Because he was transferred from Sacred Heart, Bill was unable to play the first semester. WILFORD MCCABE, Senior, Guard McCabe was one of the most accurate passers on the team and the coolest when the score was close. He saw action in nearly every game although handicapped by an ankle injury. ' JUNIOR PURDY, Senior, Forward With an excellent eye for the basket, Junior was number one in scoring honors. His play was regular and steady. PAUL PENNOCK, Manager Paul kept all the equipment of the team in tip- tcp shape and cheered for the teafn ffofn the bench.
