The l94l Cardinals, undefeated in seven starts, again claimed the Wisconsin Valley Conference Cham- pionship for the third consecutive pigskin season. They proved to be an alert eleven, whom spectators pointed to with pride, and oppon- ents, with respect. The season was opened with only a few lettermen on the l94U cham- pionship football team as a nucleus, but Coach Brockmeyer molded out a title-winning combination, in spite of the strong and clever gridiron competition. The team, in general, was quite green, and lacked the polish of ptr vious teams. They were a willing lot, however, and their desire :pit hard work, will to win, ability to al sorb coaching, and expert executip: of blocking and tackling funds- rnentals, made them the undefeated champs. The squad started slowly, gaining momentum as the season progressed, so that its ways surprised the coach and supporters as it brushed aside seven foes. Five Wausau players received all- conference rating for their outstand- ing work during the season: Bill Ebert tackle Gordon Saindon cen ter George Magit quarterback Roger Trotzer fullback Darrell Braatz halfback Top Rowe Manager R Xkeinkauf, Scholfield, Puerner, Schmitz l-lilziensperqez Dudek, Eaaahl, Ecjgebrecht, McCunn, Bischott Preqont Kitowski, Manaaet Fraaza, Middle How Coach Eiwez Freeman, Dahm, Kappa, Nelson Heisler Yluevei lfclioen diese 'Wvvkowski Raymond Young Assistant Manaae Kell ihaaser O o Bracfc yer xv inkaut Schulta El e t l' rndt Brad zer L tem i M lenetzk o lter Ga ns
