-Q- Foreign exchange student performs nt South Eugene Listen everybody' High. To nominate an outstanding player this season would be diflicult, because this yearis success was a team effort. Our choice would have to be both Nick Carter and Fred VonAppen, this year's co-cap- tains. VonAppen received too small an amount of credit for his great defensive play all season. Carter, always a reliable ground gainer, scored nearly as many touchdowns this year as the entire team did last year. The outstanding run of the season would have to be Dave Fluke's unbelievable 3-l yard jaunt against North Eugene. The outstanding pass play was, without a doubt, the Robertson to Fluke pass, good for 20 yards, and a touchdown, to beat Springfield 7-O in the last minute of play. , a 7 ,mmf .2 Tamera Smith Sharon Todd Kathi Wolf Geraldine VanDevender Charles Zeleny in
