ll Il Our B Team gave Sweet Home some- thing to be proud of, an undefeated football team. Mr. Burton Frost started off his coach- ing at Sweet Home by molding a team that will long be remembered. Using only Freshmen and Sophomores, Coach Frost's team was only scored on by two teams dur- ing the seven game season. The B Team linemen proved their worth several times by effectively out play- ing larger, and older linemen. The B F Team, backfield was made of Bob Bein- neccius, who led the scoring for the B Teamg Dick Norquist who did a fine job at the quarterback postg Bob Emmert, who made some of the most amazing runs of the seasong and Benny Reinneccius, who did an all-round good job of blocking: tackl- ing and running. Many of the boys who played on the B Team will be the main cogs in Sweet Homes A Team next year. ef ,, 2 A Q S t Q ai, Q, .. .il 1.4 . LINE-Shueffer, Powell, Winslow, L. Boyd, Nekefin, R.
