The 1953 football season was an im- provement over previous seasons in all respects. By exhibiting fine football and excellent team play, the team ended the season with a A-4 record. The boys played good tough football all the way, and could have had a much better record with the elimina- tion of a few bad breaks. In the opening game of the season, the Redmen were hosts to Blake Acad- emy of Minneapolis. Blake, conference champions of the Minnesota confer- ence, was too powerful for our boys, and managed to take home a 14-O vic- tory. The Redmen opened the conference season by slamming down Northwest- ern Preps 34-O. The Redmen were in complete control of the game as they built up a 27-O half-time lead and coasted to victory. Touchdowns were scored by Maye, Nisbet, Kimberly, and Kenniger. On the following Saturday, the Red and White lost as Milwaukee Lutheran scored twice in the final period to win, 12-O. The following Saturday, still angered over their loss to Lutheran, the Big Red smashed North Shore, 47-6. The Red- men dominated play all through the encounter. Pingel, Kapelle, Kenniger, and Maye did the scoring for Wayland. 5 THE BIG Back Row-Coach Boya, Ronny Schmoller, Dick Kimberly, Dick Pingel, Fred Kapelle, Dale Schoon, Bill Leslie, Bob Holter, Keith Anderson, Coach Larrimore.

The Redmen ran wild against M. U. S. as they ran up a 32-O score for their third conference victory. The highlight of the game was a sixty-five yard touchdown run by Dick Neuman. Ken- niger, Maye, Kapelle, and Nisbet did the rest of the scoring. The Redmen came up against unde- feated Country Day the following Sat- urday, and lost a T2-O battle after playing the first three quarters on an even basis. In the Homecoming game against Lake Forest, the eventual league cham- pions, the Redmen outplayed the visi- tors throughout the entire game but lost a 14-13 decision as Kapelle's try for a second conversion was wide by inches. George Maye scored the first touchdown, and Dick Pingel scored on a pass from Kapelle with less than a minute remaining in the game. In their final game, the Big Red dumped the favored Racine, Maye and Nisbet scoring touchdowns in the first quarter. The Redmen held their lead for the rest of the game and won I3-7. Dick Snyder and Gene Kenniger were elected the team's co-captains. At the end of the season, Gene Kenniger and George Maye were named to the All-Conference first team, Dick Snyder, Ray Little, and Chuck Nisbet were ap- pointed to the second team. SEGA.
