Bob Mitchell Nappanee 38 Columbia City Coach Paul Gundermaa’s NHS Bulldogs finished the 1963 gridiron season in a Maze of glory by walloping a big Columbia City eleven 38-12 last Wednesday on Memorial Field. The Bulldogs opened the season by dropping their first three games. They lost to North Manchester 2114, Kendallville 14-6, and New Carlisle 13-12. According to Coach Gunderman the turning point in the season came in the second half of the New Carlisle game. Though the Tigers won by a single point, the Bulldogs came through with a fine second half effort and discovered they could finally play football. Next came the Warsaw game, and the Bulldogs preceded to upset the touted Tigers 14-7. They seemed to get better with each game and finished the season by winning their last six games rather handily, outscoring the opposition 163-57. Against Columbia City, junior halfback Jim Andrews tallied 5 times to give him a total of 96 points for the season and the top spot in the race for area scoring leaders. His 30 points fell one point shy of the NHS single game high of 31 set by Rich Wright in 1955. Senior fullback Dick Geyer scored once on a 56 yard gallop, and caught a pass from guard Dave McGrew on a weird extra point attempt following Naps last TD. The Bulldogs threatened once in the first period following a City quick kick that rolled dead on Naps 36. On the first play Andrews raced 47 yards to the Eagles 17. Andrews threw a pass that slipped through Jerry Weldy’s fingers in the end zone, and on fourth down, tackle Jerry Clipp tried a field goal from the 20 but it sailed to the right of the goal post. The Bulldogs exploded for three touchdowns in the second period. The first one came on a 33 yard scamper by Andrews who received some fine blocking on the play. The Eagles stormed right back to tie it 6-6 on a 52 yard dash by their 210 pound fullback, Tom Smith. Nap took the kick-off and scored in five plays. QB Steve Culp tossed a screen pass to Andrews and excellent blocking by Clipp and end Larry Heckaman cleared a path for Jim’s 50 yard TD jaunt. Nap scored again just before the end of the first half when a pass interference call against the Eagles gave the Bulldogs a first down on City’s 15. Culp and Andrews teamed up on another screen pass for the TD and Nap led at halftime 18-6. Soph halfback Tom Evans returned the second half kick-off to his own 34. Andrews picked up 7, Geyer 3 and a first down on the 44. On the next play, Geyer took a hand-off from Culp, broke off his right tackle and a block by Weldy sprung him in the clear at City’s 30 and he raced into the end zone for thfe TD. Jay Miller kicked the extra point to make it 25-6. Halfback Jim Fahl spearheaded a 57 yard march for the Eagles second TD. He accounted for 42 yards and capped the drive with a 2 yard plunge for the TD. Nap moved 58 yards in 10 plays for their sth TD. On the drive, Andrews carried 6 times and eventually scored from 8 yards out to make it 31-12. The Eagles threatened once more when halfback Gary Galloway got

loose on a 48 yard run before Andrews overtook him on Naps 19. Nap's defense stiffened and the Bulldogs took over on their 11. TD No. 0 occurred moments later when Geyer’s 17 yard run gave Nap a first down on the 44. Geyer lost a yard on the next play, but Culp then fired a short pass over the middle to Andrews and Jim ran over a couple defenders to score his sth TD. McGrew and Geyer then teamed up on a stellar pass play for the extra point to make the final score 38-12. Offensively, Nap gained 339 yards rushing and completed 4 of 10 aerials for 148 yards. The 487 yards gained set anew NHS record. The Bulldogs Jim Andrews carried 19 times for 203 yards, but fell short of the rushing record of 256 yards for one game set by Rich Wright in 1955. The Eagles moved the ball on the ground pretty welL They gained 260 yards rushing and completed 4 of 10 passes for 33 yards. Defensively for the Bulldogs, McGrew, Moore, Clipp, John Pippen, and Ed Pippenger were outstanding. Twelve seniors were responsible for Nap’s fine 6-3 record, and their fine play gave NHS its first winning season in four years. The boys who completed their gridiron careers are Dave McGrew, Dick Geyer, Ralph Moore, Bob Best, Jerry Weldy, Jim Evans, Denny Templeton, Roger Holderman, Larry Sheets, Bill Hubner, Gary Hollar, and James Phillips. 196) GRIODERS SET SIX RECORDS Official statistics released by Coach Gunderman show the Bulldogs established six new records this season in winning six games and losing three. The 1963 gridders erased the record of most yards gained in a season (2,744) set in 1961. They beat the mark by a scant four yards. The old mark of 435 yards gained in a single game was held by the 1959 team, and this was broken when the Bulldogs gained 487 net against Columbia City last week. Tackle Jerry Clipp set anew record when he kicked the first field goal ever against Concord. The boot covered 35 yards over-all. The longest run from scrimmage is now held by fullback Dick Geyer. He raced 82 yards against Bremen this year. Two new records were set on defense. Captain and guard Dave McGrew set anew mark for most tackles in a season with 138. The old mfttjfc,waj 77 set by tackle Phil Arnott in-1958. Jerry Clipp’s 23 tackles (unassisted and assisted) in a single game breaks the old mark of 16 set by Rich Wright in. 1955. Coach Gunderman claims he will really miss guard Dave McGrew next year. Dave was an outstanding guard and leader. His spirit and determination certainly rubbed off on the other players during the season. Dave is a three-letter winner, team captain, excellent blocker and tackier, and very deservedly was chosen on the South Bend Tribune All-Area team recently. But Coach Gunderman also praised the other seniors on the squad who were starters. Tackle Ralph Moore, fullback Dick Geyer, center Bob Best, flanker Jerry Weldy, guard Denny Templeton, and tackle Jim Evans were all instrumental in the Bulldogs fine come-back effort. Os the 22 letterwinners this season, 11 are seniors, 8 juniors, and

$ sophomores. With a, fine nucleus returning and a promising group of sophs and freshmen coming up. Coach Gunderman and assistants Dave Nelson and Don McKee, are already looking forward to next year when the Bulldogs start their first season in the newly formed Northern Lakes Conference. NHS BASKETBALL Coach Keith Dougherty starts his fourth hardwood campaign as Bulldog mentor. Jerry Lambert has departed for High Point College in North Carolina, and Coach Dougherty also lost three other starters from a squad that won 19 and lost 4 last year. Gone are center Bob Berger, and guards Tod Lehman and A1 Hand, which leaves forward Greg Truex as the only returning regular from a squad that beat Elkhart in the sectional tourney, but then lost a thriller to Goshen in the championship game. Coach Dougherty is faced with a big rebuilding task. Center Keith Blosser, guard Dave McGrew, and forward Dave Gildersleeve are returning lettermen but lack actual game experience, so Truex will probably carry a heavy load on his shoulders this season. Os the 12 candidates reporting, 6 are seniors, four juniors, and two sophomores. The senior group includes Truex, Blosser, McGrew, Gildersleeve, Jerry Weldy, and Dean Orn. Juniors are Steve Culp, Jim Andrews, Larry Heckaman, and Jim Zentz, a transfer student from Elkhart. Sophomores are Mel Dean and Dave Callander. The competition for starting assignments is keen and plenty of hard work is required in the next two weeks as Coach Dougherty prepares the squad for the Nov. 15th season opener against New Paris. Bill Robinson replaces Don McKee as “B” team coach this year, and Bill has 10 hopefuls on his sophomore-laden squad. Mel Witt, Dan Shaw, and Ken Wagner are the only juniors. Sophomores include Tom Greene, Ted Fricke, Duncan Sinclair, Don Berger, Tom Evans, and Larry Harmon. Phil Eskew Talks To Quarterback Club Saturday A large group attended the Quarterback Club banquet Saturday. It was made up largely of family units, and the whole program was ov interest to all the boys and parents connected with Nappanee High School football. Bob Coppes was MC. He introduced Bag Pippen, president of the Quarterback Club, and Paul Gunderman, head football coach of the team which lost the first three games and then won the next six. Coach Gunderman introduced the players and the rest of the coaching staff, Dave Nelson and Don McKee. Speaker of the evening was Phil Eskew, Commissioner of High School Athletics. He explained how the Commission was set up, how every school is now represen-

Mr. Eskew, with a good sense of humor, told of the first football encounters between Crawfordsville and Lebanon High Schools and how it was quickly apparent that rules had to be set up.
