Co-captains jim King and jerry DeLisle talk it over with Coach jim Dailer. A fast charging line, speedy backfield, and a coach that knows how to produce championship form gained the '52 Knights recognition as the team to beat. Seniors dominated the play of the Shrine gridders this season with nine on the varsity. Phil Kinsella held down left end while Jerry DeLisle, our co-captain, con- tinued doing his best at left tackle. Hal Cooper, the smallest man on our line, resumed his left guard activ- ity. Hal Van Deusen took his center position to heart and showed his effectiveness when the chips were down and Tom Reed's four years of experience showed up considerably in his work at right guard. Rib injuries kept Ron Klein out of much action this year but his twenty-leaguers were well Glled by an able freshman, john Burkart, at right end. Tom Stankevich will con- tinue his pass catching next year, while Dick Seery and jim Shields will try to Hll in at guard positions. Dave Peters and John Sobieski will be strong contenders for the end positions. Speed to burn in the Knights' backfield was con- tained in senior quarterback and co-captain jim King, and in senior halfbacks Bob Van Fleteren and Norbert Stanford. junior halfback Walt Redmond was the real spark in the backfield. Conrad Blanzy's continuous drive at the fullback slot will be used next year. Sopho- mores Bill Luther, Lloyd Syron, and Mark Boehmer will fight for backfield positions along withpjunior Jim Panks who was injured early in the past season.
