f Xf Xfaf Xfi' Ufitgijictfii 'af Xfixf Xf X signals is always a tough one. We were fortunate this year to have had a light, speedy, brainy quarterback, Dick Johnson. Dick, although small, proved his worth as he sneaked through the opponents' wall. Dick, on the defense, always had the remarkable ability of being able to be in the right place at the right time. Much can be said about our forward wall. One of our last year's regulars was Alf Jarden, who switched over from right end to left. When the time came for a needed long gain, Dick took to the air and Alf always seemed to be ready for that hard, bullet-like pass which gave him all that was needed for a quick dash to the goal line. Always ready for a hard hitting high-low were two boys inter- changed all season at the left tackle position. Randy Newman and Bob Post were both able to give their opponents a hard, muscle pounding block. Ready and waiting for a good 'Qsubmarineu and having plenty of Hght was Doug NVilson who always opened the hole through left guard. Doug, although light, persistently threw a heavier opponent to the gridiron. At pivot position in the line were two boys who could center the ball with swiftness and skill. Ray Lewis and Bill Robinson were usually the dirt eaters of the line. Bob Miller and Wade Hubbard were juggled all season at the running guard position. These boys proved to be the Gibraltar of our line. At right end was Bob Wfade, a fast, shifty end from Wfilmington. XVhen it came to stopping end runs Bob always entered the fight, either pulling down the interference or moving in to take the tackle. X jx jkgjgjy jx 7 9 4 6 2gJXgZgQ xx

All visible signs of football have gone for the season but the everlasting thrill of the game continues. The Preppers showed particular abilities in the bacla lield this past season. Gordon Pirnie, :1 pile driving fullback, always secured that needed yard. Gordon often led interference for our shifty, speedy half- baele johnny Dyer. Johnny toted the pigskin around the right end for a profitable gain. Always helping johnny as he made these shifty cut-ins was jay Newman. jay was always in the thick of it in one Way or another.

ACING the hardwood this past season we had a sharp-shooting Wil- mington combine, although at some of the shots a few D. C. basketeers intermingled. The two big guns for the quintet were Dick Johnson and Bob Wfade, both in the forward position, and constantly battling for game honors. At the guards were two more Wfilmington boys, John Dyer and Jim Buckley, smart back court men and Capable long shot artists. Always up in the air over the center position were Gordon Pirnie, a deadeye at heart, who figures either basket is O.K.,' and Gene Ostrom, a long, lean and lanky D. C. boy, with one eye on his man and the other on the referee. Last but not least, Jim Lewis, a very valuable sub in any position. All in all we didnlt have too good a season, according to scores, but we had a grand time out there trying. Wfe felt that with some more of Phil,s coaching and possibly a new field house the J.V.'s will successfully fill the gap left by the departing seniors. X yy jgygjgjx 7 Q 4 6 Jgxgfx Jx Qs,
