A History Os Football At Nappanee High Northern Lakes Conference Is Formed With Bulldogs Getting 4-1 Record (Final installment bringing NHS football record up to date) The coaching staff combo of Paul Gunderman at the helm and assisted by Don McKee and Dave Nelson went into their second season with the start of the 1962 schedule. This team was to lose six games of a 10 game schedule. Not usually overly optimistic, the coaches truly had their moments, of trepidation over the outlook of. the ’62 season. Most of their opponents were reaching the primebeef stage, and there was a dearth of battle-scarred veterans locally for them to work with. Columbia City started it off with a victory over the Bulldogs 13-20. Next came two wins in a row. The first over Manchester 20-6 and then over Walkerton (their first year) 36-0. Kendallville beat us 12-20, and New Carlisle whomped us 280. It was Warsaw over Nappanee 19-21, and the same for Bremen 14-19. Two victories followed, the first over Concord 21-13 and then over Rochester 12-6. The final game was the sixth loss 7-27 by Plymouth. Dana Stickle made the All-Area first team as halfback. Other seniors were Tom Dean, John Yeager, Dick Pippenger, A1 Hand, Mike Hoyt and Tod Lehman. They were a fine bunch of boys and fun to watch. The Larry Slabaugh Memorial award went to Tod Lehman. Dana Stickle received the MVP award, and A1 Hand was named honorary captain. The 1963 season started out dismally with three consecutive losses to Manchester 13-21, Kendallville 6-14, and New Carlisle 12-13. Then all of a sudden Coach Gunderman apparently got all things in proper order. Couple that with a deternThred bunc h of Bulldogs and you have a winning setup. They promptly proceeded to win the next six games and finished the season with a 6-3 record. It was Warsaw 14-7, Bremen 2913, Concord 29-0, Rochester 20-12, Plymouth 3?-13, and Columbia City 38-13. In those last six games, the Bulldogs rolled up 163 points to their opponents’ 58. There were 12 players graduated from the 1963 team. They were

Bob Best, Jim Evans, Dick Geyer, Roger Holdeman, Gary Hollar, Bill Hubner, Dave McGrew, Ralph Moore, Jim Phillips, Larry Sheets, Denny Templeton and Jerry Weldv. Dave McGrew was honored as a guard on the All-Area first squad. He also received the Larry Slabaugh Memorial award and was named honorary captain. Last season, the 1964 one, found the long-awaited Northern Lakes Conference a reality. Conference games were started in both football and basketball with other sports to follow the next year. Schools participating with Nappanee in the conference are Manchester, Warsaw, R-emen, Rochester and Plymouth. Unbeknownst to anyone including himself, Paul Gunderman w r as starting his last year as head coach, and at the end of the year he took over the same spot at Wabash. During his four year tenure his teams had a right respectable 21 wins against 15 losses. Don McKee assisted in this fourth year~as did Fred Squires, A PURDUE BOY, who also coached the basketball “B" team. We beat Columbia City in the opener 15-12, beat Kendallville 1912, won our opening conference game against Manchester 25-0, had our only conference loss with Warsaw 19-33, lost to New Carlisle 634, beat Bremen 28-0, Concord 207, Rochester 14-13, and Plymouth 6-0. It was an overall record of 7 and 2 for the season. In conference play the record was 4-1 which was second best with Warsaw going undefeated for a 5-0 mark. The senior lettermen were Jerry Clipp (All-Area first team tackle), Jim Andrew's (All-Area second team halfback), John Pippen, Larry Heckaman, Dan Shaw, Ed Stump, Rod Clouse, Jay Miller, Denny Yoder, Steve Culp, Jack Hamman and Ken Wagner. Jim Andrews was elected honorary captain, Jerry Clipp made MVP, and Larry Heckaman got the Larry Slabaugh Memorial award. Andrews, Heckaman and Clipp were named to the NL Conference first team. This brings us up to dale on the fortunes of football at Nappanee High School. The 15 year record stands at 71 victories against 55 defeats and one tie. If our calculations are correct, the Bulldogs have run up 2180 points for a 127 game average of 17.2. The NHS foes have collectively made 1769 points for a per game average of iM. Another opening of another show. The current season gets underway one week from tomorrow at Memorial Field with Columbia

Amish Humble The Presbyterians The slow' pitch tourney moved along this week. It looked as though the formidable teams of the Church of the Brethren and the Amish A team would battle it out Wednesday. The Presbyterians had two successes before their fall. They beat Millwood in a real battle 8 to 7. Millwood got most of the big hits, however. Steve Sechrist homered as did Dennis Sechrist and Junior Klotz got three hits. Locke had previously humbled St. John’s 25 to 9. In that game LaMar Hoehstetler got a homer and three other hits, Don Weaver accounted for seven hits, and Don Stutzman got six. But Locke didn’t fare as well when they met the Presbies, who Stomped them 15 to 8. Old faithful Calvinists Larry Baughman, Steve Hockert and Lowell Clipp
