The other co-captain, Dennis Kent, led the team with 277 yards gained in 62 carries for 26 points. John Spandikow gained 223 yards in 58 carries and Paul Schrilla carried the ball eight times for 139 yards. Center, Mark Holstein, was voted most val- uable player. The freshmen outscored their oppo- nents 47 to 27 for a 3-1 record. Coaches Thomas Nahnsen and Elmer Wuensche expect a fine season next year. - Holstein C305 follow the play. ROW 1, l. to r.: T.

The 1967 cross-country team showed vast improvement over the previous year as it compiled a 4-3 league record. The squad started slowly because of some unfortunate injuries and they dropped their first three decisions to Timothy, Illiana, and Luther South. Then the Broncos came alive at their first home meet as they sloshed through a muddy course to post an impressive vic- tory over Timothy before a large crowd of Walther rooters. The harriers continued their winning ways, sweeping the rest oftheir meets until they encountered speedy Chicago Christian. This was a heart-breaking loss not only as it was the Broncos' first on their home course, but also as it erased the team's hope of captur- ing third place in the league. The team bounced back, however, and took third in the PSL finals. Competing with thirty teams in three inches of snow, they placed l7th in the IHSA district meet. Chuck Dreessen placed l9th in a field of 189 runners. Steve Levan, Bob Prisching, and Peter Lucht joined last yearls veterans to give the varisty the added punch they needed. On the squad for their fourth year were Steve Keuer, Al Kautz, and Bruce Krause. With seven returning var- sity runners, the cross-country team can expect to have an expe- rienced nucleus. -.,:Xi.:z F' Fhsffe5!23 Qi- 5 ' IT: as r - r 3,532 A i . . , V f has - T 'T t' as., - be is l ....
