SPORTS PICTURE
After
two weeks of contact work, the squad has been cut down
to 37 players, and the beginning team pretty well determined.
These
starting positions are bout definite, but, of course,
subject to change at any time.
On
the line the Lions will have a 176 lb. average, which
is larger than many high schools.
The
end positions will be serviced by Rusty Doolittle, Carl
Kettles and David Heaps. Paul Bene, 181 lbs. and co-captain
Frank Ferguson, 191 lbs. are solid at the tackles. Julius
Mullins and Gene Mooney have found a niche for themselves
as offensive guards. While Clark Lambert and Vern Duncan
will set as defensive guards. John Moscheo, 190 lbs.,
is a center, but little Johnny Cash is pushing big John
hard.
The
backfield has Ray Myers, Chuck Butler and Greg Holland
ready for the halfback spot. Charles Matthews and Dewey
Ramsby will probably be starting quarter backs. Steve
Toothaker and Bill Baroshe recently arrived from Pennsylvania
look good as full backs.
