Five players rate All-Conference Hustling Vandals sprint onto the gridiron at Taylorville in quest ol' a victory. Doing push ups. sit ups, and every other kind ofexercise imag- inable, the fighting Vandals got in shape for another rough season. They built themselves not only physically but also mentally to- ward manhood. The coaches pushed hard f real hard. They chewed, griped and worked till they could hardly stand up. Coaches McAllister and Strobel devoted almost unbeliev- able time to making up plays, put- ting players in positions, and working the timing down to a split second. Spirit was starting to build. One could hear the fighting Van- dals getting in shape from blocks away. Pepping each other up, the Vandals made some pretty mean sounding noises. Game time was getting close. Led by five senior lettermen Dave Fogler. Mike Gidcumb. Kim Edgar. Dale Boatman, Jim Littleford the Vandals were ready for the first game. Little did the Vandals know, at this time, that there would be five players on the All-Conference Team. Dave Fogler. a punter, was the only one receiving first team honors. Second team honors went to Dallas Henna, guard, Jim Lit- tlelord, halfback, Robin Schukar, center. and Mike Gidcumb. place kicker.
