O'Neill high, with Uieir andefeatod season, grabbed top honors on the first team. Fight O’Neill High grid dors earned berths on the top team. M. Mary's copped two spots on the team and Cham bers earned one. With this year’s surplus <4 out With this year’s surplus of out standing players we found it ne cessary to also name a second team, any one of which would be an able substitute on our preferred aquad. But enough of explanations. Here’s the team: Jerry Kilcoin, O'Neill high, half-back: One of the easiest se lections on the team. Definately a mainstay of the Eagle’s sqjad. A repeat from last year. Larry Swanson, Chambers, half back. A really tough player who is capable of playing in anybody’s league. Larry Donlin, O'Neill high, full back; A senior this year, Larry Is another hold-over from last year’s squad. Larry was in on tlie tackles and hard to beat as a blocker. Jack McGinn, O’Neill high, quarter-back: Another tough de cision but we feel that his out standing performance during the season warranted the choice. A junior, he should be a sparkplug orf next year’s team. Jerry Dexter, O’Neill high, righ-end: A senior this year he counted on when the chips were dawn. Daroki Ermer, O’Neill high, left-end: Another senior and a repeat from last year, he lived up to expectations set forth for him after his last year’s season. Tom Higgins, St. Mary’s, right tackle: A senior and another hold over from last year’s team, Tom displayed the same drive and ability that made him a last year’s selection. Bill Friokc, O'Neill high, left tnck'e: A senior this year, Bill is capable of playing on anybody’s team. One of the good reasons for O’Neill’s undefeated season. Dean Larson, O’Neill, right gjard: A senior who’s loss next year will be felt by the O’Neill squad. He had the ability to be at the right place at the right time. Dick Pongratz, 9t Mary’s left guard: Another of those tough de cisions. A good blocker and a hard charger we felt we’d like to have him on our first string. John Kurtz, O’Neill high, cen ter: A senior this year, John was Band Benefit CHORAL CONCERT at the Stuart Auditorium, Stuart, Ncbr. SUNDAY, DEC. 18 H:(M) p.m. A special concert “Holiday Montage,’’ based on TV spec tacular by Fred Waring, with all profits to go to the Stuart high band fund, sponsored by American Legion Post 115, Stuart. Adults — 50c Ur.Mleschool children — 25c ■ 1 the mainstay of the Eagle's line. Those are our first team selec tions. now for Uie second team. For half barks we chose Dong Shrader of Kwing and Tom Brewster of Stuart. Steve Higgins of St. Mary's was the favorite for the second team full-back position and Jim Spit zenborger of St. Mary's was nam ed for the quarter-back slot. For ends the decision went to Ray Beiina of 9t. Mary's and Larry Noffke of Ewing Gary Jeffrey of O’Neill and Don Hahlbeck of Ewing got the nod for the job of tackle. Jim Schmaderer of Stuart, who was hampered with injuries this season, still showed enough pro mise to earn a position as guard along with Steve Peterson of O’ Neill high. And for our second team cen ter the choice went to Cal Peters of St. Mary's. And that’s it. The Frontier’s selections for this year. And if yoj disagree with us, fgel free to change them around to suit yourself. Any of these 22 boys can play football in anybody’s league. .V I V. 1 \/ Larry Swanson Chambers, Halfback Jerry ' Kilcoin O'NcUl High, Halfback Larry Don I in O’Neill High, Fullback t DANCE *«<*•. 4 . , * American Legion Ballroom O'Neill, Nebraska SAT., DEC. 17 Music by Bud Van Fleet • *y- | •- v j . and the ^5 . ^ i t * Sandhill Troubadors Admission: 75c noftwcjc - : iiiir — s «C Jack McGinn O’Neill High, Quarterback Jerry Dexter O’Neill High, Right End Dean Larson O’Neill High, Right Guard Tom Higgins St. Mary’s, Right Tackle Bill Fricke O’Neill High.
