Mr. Smith, Coach Mr. Moser, Asst, Coach JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL The West Shore junior varsity squad, coached for the first year by Max Smith and Russell Moser, produced several boys with varsity potential despite the fact that it suffered a winless season. Because the primary purpose of the Tro- jan jayvee team is to develop future varsity material and to determine the position each player is best suited for, the lineup was juggled throughout the season. At the close ofthe J. Vfs l955 campaign, these eleven boys were pro- moted to the varsity squad: Sophomores-halfback, Joe Bower, guard, Eddie Kapp and end, James Youndt. Freshmen-fullback, Tom Bowrnang halfback, Bill O,Brieng quarter- back, Joe Anderson, center, Charles Appleby, guard, David Watkins, tackles, Richard Reed and Floyd Focht, and end, Phillip Nace. 88
