Conference First Team Two A. H. S. Wildcat football squad members, Quarterback Har- old Wochholz and End Linwood Reed, were named as members of the mythical all-Twin Valley Ath- letic Ass'n first team for the 1948 season. The conference honor squad was chosen by a vote of the T. V. circuit coaches at the asso- ciation's annual fall meeting, held in Battle Creek, Monday Novem- ber 15. Wildcat Center, Anthony Egna- tuk was given honorable mention after being nosed out of a second team berth by a very small mar- gin. Mr. Lloyd F. Kusch, sports writ- er for the Albion Evening Record- er, was appointed as publicity di- rector of the Twin Valley Athletic Association. Immediately an- nounced was the Wildcat 1949 Marshall Returns Football Trophy To Albion Squad In 1940 the Marshall football squad obtained possession of the Albion-Marshall rotating trophy and have held it until a few weeks previous to this publication. They returned the trophy to Albion this year for the first time since 1940. Lee Whittaker Captain of the 1948 Marshall team which fell under Albion's superior strength, 13-0, presented the trophy to Co- Captain Linwood Reed of the Al- bion squad with these words: Here it is until next year. The presentation of the trophy took place during the annual Al- bion-Marshall football dinner held this year at the Parker Inn in Al- bion November 9. The banquet is sponsored by and through the combined efforts of the Rotary Clubs of both cities. Charles Bach- man of East Lansing, former coach at Michigan State College, was the principal speaker. Capt. Whittaker introduced the Marshall team members and Co- Captains Reed, Tony Egnatuk and Stanley Swanson introduced the Albion players. football season.

Several members of the Albion squad were given honors in nearly every honor squad chosen in this district of the state. End Lin Reed, Quarterback Harold Wochholz and Center Tony Egnatuk, gained honorable men- tion on the Detroit Times all-state high school football squad. This honor was announced November 28. Reed and Wochholz were sim- ilarly recognized on the Detroit Free Press squad and Reed was also cited on the Detroit News team. The announcement of these honors was made earlier in the month of December. The honors that these boys hold were earned by sportsmanship on and off the field and their all around ability to play good foot- ball. Another, and possibly the most coveted award that the Wild- cat squad members hold is the fact that Reed, Wochholz and Eg- natuk were chosen to be members of the Twin Valley Athletic Asso- ciation honor squads. Wochholz and Reed were chosen to repre- sent the TVA squad. Egnatuk was given honorable mention. Too many people don't care what happens, as long as it doesn't happen to them. Many people have a nice sense of rumor. Opportunity always looks bigger going than coming.
