THE DAILY BANNER
CUBS END, TACKLE POSITIONS WELL SUPPLLIED
Return Lettermen Plus NewMaterial Brightens Outlook For'64 Season
The Greencastte Tiger Cub football squad is loaded with end and tackle material. There are seven ends trying for the first team positions. Among these are one letterman and one transfer letterman. Heading the list of candidates is Ron Blotch. Ron has become a fixture at end for the last two seasons and is a real veteren. Standing 6 4" and weighing 205 he has the phyical assets necessary in being a stand out player. Ron is a senior and will be a real pass recieving threat
for the Cubs.
Rob Weathers is a 6'2" transplant from the Sullivan Golden Arrows. Sullivan's Is loss is Greencastle gain as Rob has a very good pair of hands and is a great reciever and blocker. Rob is a senior and is adapting well to the Greencastle offense. Mike Dunn is a junior and candidate participating in his first year of football. The lack ! of experience has handicapped Mike but the fact that he, stands 6 0’’ tall and has great j desire and enthusiasm has brought him a long way in a' very short time. Mike is sure j to see some action this season | and will give it all that he has. i Frank Hirt is also a junior j and will be pushing hard for a j starting position. Standing 5T1” and weighing 150 Frank ! has been looking good on defense. Frank is the type of player that is easy to coach and does what is expected of i him at the right time. Bruce Brackney is one of the three sophomores on the list of end candidates. Standing near 6 0” Bruce will be one of the ends trying to gain experience for the future. Bruce jumps very well and is a very good pass reciever. Bruce will be one of the future's best ends if he keeps developing. David Hill is a 511” 166 pound end that is solidly built and very rugged. David can catch the ball and run with it after he catches it. David will be on defense as well as offense. The sign of a good athlete is attitude and David shows that he has a good attitude byt working hard at every thing he tries to do. Bill Walbring stands 61” and is growing by leaps and bounds. Bill is a sophomore and added to the other sophomore ends will give the Cubs strength at that position for years to come. Bill is a lean and rugged player. He could
see some varsity action if he continues improving. At the tackle spots the Cubs will have some real tough ball players. Vern Rader who stands 6T" and weighs a compact 180 is a chose's dream player Vern can block with the best and can tackle any one coming at him. Vern will be expected to hold down a defensive end spot and should be one of the defense’s main cogs. Greg Sanford is 5T1' and weighs over 200 pounds. Greg suffered an ankle injury at midseason last year and the loss to the Cubs proved to be costly. Greg is one of the best defensive men on the team and is a very strong rugged tackle. Gary Huber is a 6T” 180 lb. tackle who as a junior is participating in his first season of football. Gary can mix it up with the veterans and hold his own quite well. He will definitely see a lot of football this season and will surely do a real
good job.
Jim Rolls is 6 0” and weighs 225. He is the defending sectional heavyweight wrestling champion and this fact alone tells you he will be hard to cope with by any opponent. Jim is big. strong, alert, smart and relatively agile for a big man. The best thing about Jim is that he will only be a junior and has another big year ahead of him after this one. DeWayne Wilson is a 5’10” 216 pounds junior playing his first season of football. DeWayne is big and strong and Coach Sampson says he has a lot of potential. He will see a lot of action both on offense and defense. An added feature to the daily Tiger Cub practices has been the presence of the new junior high football coach. His name is Harold Stockhoff and he is a graduate of Indianapolis Washington and Indiana State College. Harold will begin his practice after school starts and is trying to get into the swing of things by helping the high school coaches.

Rookie After hb Of Quarterback
SAN FRANCISCO UPI — A one-two quarterback punch that may prove to be one of the best in the National Football League may carry the San Francisco Forty Niners out of the cellar this year. Coach Jack Christiansen, started his first full year as head man of the Forty Niners, says that John Brodie. a veteran of six years, is his No. 1 quarterback. But George Mira, a brash young rookie from Miami of Florida, has different
ideas.
