The Frontier Picks 1959 All-Holt County Football Squad St. Mary's, O'Neill High Place Six and Five Each Ewing, Stuart Atkinson Are Represented There's just too much talent in the county! That's the way you fee! when you try to pick eleven of the best football players from the four eleven m/m football teams in Holi county. O’Neill St. Mary's with thm terrific size, and O'Neill high school, with their great speed, dominate the all-county football team, placing six and five men respectively on the team. Two men from Ewing end one each from Stuart and t ikinsor make up the 15 m/m squad Because of the fine backfield men in the county, especially on the two O'Neill teams, the Frontier has chosen an offensive and a defensive backfield. So here they are: Offensive backfield: Kill llynes, St. Mary's, jr.. 185 lbs. Jim Shoe maker, St Mary's, sr., 170 lbs Jerry Kllooln, O'Neill higl . soph l»»rr<i Kmier.

And there it is. The Frontier feels that th -se 15 men would give any team in the state, regardless o Fc, a ’fsxi go. Tom EliKKins, tackle, 210 |mmiii«I j ui v f for St. .Mary’s, l’layed e. • !;Uly well on de fense hu m ys had that added push to open the holes. Bob Eby Pill 1, senior, O'Neill high. Was on the receiving end of man , pa.ses when the chips were d wa. Eby kept many plays to the inside and was a good rusher on pass defense. ■Bill ■ III HI I ’MB?" -•' " ■ "Wf Larry Dunlin, back, junior, O'Neill high. Really tough. Lur ry was in on most tackles and plugged the holes swiftly. As a blocker, he is unsurpassed and paved the way for many long gains. Roger Dobias, hack, senior, Atkinson high. As quarterback of the Italers he le<1 his team through a rough season. He never gave up and his speed and heighth made him good de fensive safety. Bill ll> nes, back, lfW pound junior for St. Mary’s. Excellent blocker, could score from a dis tance, picked up Mi yards in <;o fries. Called the roughest de fensive man In Cardinal history. i lea Turn Brewster, back, junior, Stuart high. A shifty back with great speed, he quarterbacked the Stuart eleven. His speed qualifies him as a good defen sive safety man. ,:.V. . * JJ. .) Fred Wright, end, 151 pound junior for Ewing high. Although light, ho is very fast itnd stopped many plays behind the line of scrimmage. A good pass catch er, he worked well on a pass lateral play which Ewing used this year. ■L\Yk /A Leon liahlbeck. guard, 185 pound senior for Ewing high. Although llahlbeck did not play guard this season, he did play tackle and no Holt county team wouf\J be complete without him. The fact that he finished the season at fullback gives him the speed necessary in a good guard. Fine linebacker. Cal Feters, center. 200 pound sophomore for St. Mary's. Opened the middle on sneak plays and allowed the quarterback to average 8Vi yards per try. Was select'd as an honorable mention for all-state center.

V 11 Dennis Tomlinson, guard, sen- j ior, O’Neill high. Always seemed ! to he at the right place at the ! rigid time. Opponents swore that | he came up out of flu- ground to make some of the tackles. Jerry Kilcoin, back, sopho more. O’Neill high. Fast and shifty, this O’Neill high sopho more Is a must. '’’’"I Gale Stevens, back, 181 pound senior for St. Mary’s.
