and Salt Lake City for traditional games Nucleus for the 1945 Agge grid edition is 10 returning lettermen headed by John Putnik who was the unanimous choice for captain Other returning squad members are Ernie Groll and Cliff Hoopi-an- a a pair of classy ball carriers Nick (The Rock) Caputo fullback Joe Anderson center Dean Papa-daki- s Bob JLates guard end fullback Max Jack Donovan Beuhler tackle Ken Twede center Qarth Belliston quarterback Pat Condie end Howard Hansen guard Also back in the fold is Paul Sanders who can play or line with either backfield equal ability Sanders won honors in as

Maughan end LaVon Porter Blaine Heywood Lane Nalder all starters Crookston graduated the others are in the army Some of the others who would not drive a coach to Hari-Kaif they did not return will not be so sorely missed An interesting thing about the current team is that about 20 or nearly half are former veterans from every theater of operations They have decorations ranging from the Silver Star to the presidential unit citation and are from every branch of the service Among the newcomers who show are Mickey plenty of promise Hughes right end from Menan Idaho Keiver Jankovich a rough and
