Gerald Grube:  Sophomore – Gerald has shown possibilities of developing into a great player, watch for him next year. 

Randall Jablonic:  Sophomore – A big boy with lots of drive and strength, he did a good job whenever he was in there. 

Bob Kovatch: Sophomore – Saw a lot of action at the guard post this year.  Mainly because of his spirit and determination to play his best. 

Bob Stark: Sophomore – A good passer, a good defensive player, a good tackle.  All he needs is experience. 

Bob Hautamaki: Sophomore – Bob’s love for football is the thing that makes him good.  A boy who can hold his own with anyone. 

Victor Pogodzinski: Sophomore – He ahs earned a regular place on the team through his aggressiveness and determination. 

Jim Telford: Junior – There was a fine job at the guard post, especially on defense. 

Don Haralson: Junior – There were very few bad passed from the center this year.  He did a wonderful job on backup up the line. 

John Anderson: Junior – Because of his good defensive work and cool-headedness, John was used as a utility player.  He plays equally well in any position.

Terry Crowley: Junior – Terry had the regular quarterback post and did a fine job.  He did especially well at this main assignment, blocking.  

Mannon Gustafson: Senior – It took Mannon four years to prove that he was a football player, but he did it in style. 

Ted Czeshinski: Senior – Ted held down the regular end post. He was a good pass receiver and excellent on defense. 

Eldon Grube: Senior – He did a find job at the guard position and could have done better if it were not for being hampered by injuries. 

Glen Creg: Senior – Glen was Owen’s fastest and hardest running back. A consist threat to the opponents goal line as shown by his numerous long runs.  He was also a fine blocker, and will be greatly missed next season. 

Jack Larson: Senior – Jack did a fine job in all departments.  He was a good passer, runner and blocker but he did his finest work on pass defense. 

Don Mills: Senior – He played end and tackle and did an excellent job in both places.  It will be hard to fill Don’s place next year. 

Silver Ross: Senior – Silver did the passing, punting and signal calling for the team, doing all well.  He was the team’s regular fullback. 

Bill Roberson: Senior – No one can say that bill didn’t like to play football and he played to win.  He had a fine spirit and was a good team man.

Jack Johnson: Senior – Jack’s fame lies in the fact that he was a good pass receiver and did a good job at the end of the line. 

Bernard Lindgren: Senior, Captain – Because of a knee injury early in the season, Bernard saw no action but for his work in the past years.  He deserves a least a few lines for his fine work which gained him the captaincy of the 1951 team.  We missed you this year Bernard!
