Show B, Q Gridder Outlook Bright B Team Molding gr,ean juniors into a successful squad is tough, but Jimmy Jim-my Gilbert eleven shows promise for a successful season. Gilbert has the largest team he has ever had. Many of the juniors tip the scales at 200 pounds. Be ; sides size, he has power and speed, which all figure in the success of his team this seaon. At center he has D. Taylor, W Jepson, C. Kleven, J. Thompson, all trying out. The guards are: T. Klebe, G Stensrud, A. Anderson, D. Egbert, and R. Franklin.' H. Hardcastle, S. Cackrell, J. Klebe, D. Penman, P. Curtis, and D. Soattaff, all heavy boys are pushing each other for tackle position. po-sition. The ends are: B. Middlemiss, T. Elders, B. Goates, G. Powell, and L. Smith. However, none have shown well enough for starting positions. po-sitions. The quarterbacks consist of W. Nielson, C. Cox, and T. Yssilanis. The fullbacks are D. Butcher and J. Grissitte. This is one position posi-tion that Gilbert's gridders are The halfbacks are L, Koller, D. Notzlens, G. Walkenshaw, R. Of-futt, Of-futt, H. Hill, D. Wagstaff, and D. Donelson. C Team Tate Wavdell, mentor of the "C" team sees a hopeful season ahead for his midgets. The "C" team will open the season sea-son against West Thursday. Although Al-though the midgets have had only two weeks of practice and haven't had any practice games they should come through with flying colors. As yet there has not been a definite def-inite first string picked, but some of the outstanding aspirants are: Walter Gerkhe for quarterback. He gained valuable experience on last year's squad. Jerry Christensen seems to be a likable second. Bill Lubin, Owen Wright, and Bill Bryan are all fighting for the fullback full-back post. Wright seems to be the choice for the offense, but Lubin is one swell girder to have backing up the line. Halfbacks are plentiful, Marion Gregery and Bob Sidwell seems to have a starting berth. Line positions are strong except for tackle. Stan Fivas and Kent Herman are the only griders who show promise. Wardell may move either Wright or Lubin to the spot where they are needed. Ends, Reed Howick, Stevenson, Bob Dell, Ken Renshaw, Dick Powers and Jack Bale are all strong aspirants. How. ick is the only one positive of a starting job. Bill Dubell and Earl Johnson bolster the squad considerably. consider-ably. Both boys have had a year experience. The pivot spot is weak but something should be worked out between Joe Anderson, Grant "Spider" Woodward and "Hedgy" Hedgepath. |
