Ordinarily, a person might voice his disapproval of the squad and say that the team was not very good. Such a comment would be correct in most instances, but in the case of the '53 squad, we must try and picture an inexperi- enced group of boys competing for the first time in the sport. The '53 season saw Ed Cook, Ken DuBois, Don Reed and Fred Jacobs play their last year of soccer for S.C.S. These boys will no doubt be missed on the '54 team, but we trust that Coach Sanders will have a few new boys “broken in” by that time. The line this year was made up of Ken DuBois at center forward, Ed Cook and Glenn Van Buren the insides, Larry Schwartz and Billy Partridge on the wings. This part of the team has to be fast and able to get the ball into scoring position quickly. The boys lacked the “punch” required, but on the overall, they did pretty well. The halfbacks were Don Reed, Rod Dibble and Bob Reynard. These boys played a good season, but perhaps could have played a little better. Their job is to get the ball to the linemen. Bob and Rod have one more year left, so we hope to see them out there next year. Ed Caouette and Fred Jacobs were the fullbacks on the team, and did a fine job of keeping the goal area clear of loose balls. Along with them was Larry Conley, the goalie. He turned in a fair season and we hope he will play a better one next year. vVe failed to mention Ray Page and the reason was that Ray played a number of positions. He was not attached to any particular one, but also did well wherever he played. The substitutes are not to be forgotten either. Don Taylor, Dick Wickham, Burl Scutt, Kevin Kelly and Tom Wickham “sat the bench”. We hope that the 1954 squad will have a better season than the previous one, but our hats are off to the boys of the 53 soccer team. Totals for the season are as follows: Won-3, Lost-4, Tied-1. 22
