His team posted an amazing 5-3 record and finished third in the tough Private School League. The starting players were almost all seniors with many years of experi- ence behind them. They won their first four games by easy margins and thrilled Walther's returning alumni with a 19-13 victory over North Park on Homecoming weekend. After this climax, the season ended with two heart- breaking losses to Luther North and South. The major setback for Walther's team which ruined their chance for a PSL championship was a serious knee injury to veter- an Doug Dumler in the Wheaton game. Although Doug played only four games, he scored 31 points on five touchdowns, second only to Brent Hanson's work of 49 points. Leading rushers were Al Curry 1338 yards1, Brent Hanson 1316 yardf1 and John Knee 1268 yards1, Steve Kent gained 700 yards on nine touch- down passes as the team's leading quarterback. Three Walther play- ers, center Bob Hanson, tackle Roy Heinrich, and half-back Al Curry, were voted to the all-con- ference first team. - :iw - I is 1801, Brent Hanson 1401, Cilynn Frank- l 'V I
