-the Jimmy Browns, Johnny Unitases, Cookie Gil· christs of tomorrow? .

The answer may be among the selections for PARADE's third annual high school All-America football team. As in the past, PARADE talked to hundreds of high sclwol, college and pro football coaches and scouts. They,. together with sportswriters who specialize in covering high school activities, were asked to choose the best players from·the thousands who played for the nation's high school football teams this year.

A total of 3 3 boys were picked and divided into three squads (only a whisper divides the third from the first squad). The starting line presents plent'y of beef at a 216-pound average. The high school grid hot· beds-Pennsylvania, Texas, Ohio and Californiadominate the PARADE squads~ although a total of 17 states are represented among the 3 3 players.

FIRST TEAM DENNIS WIRGOWSKI, End, Bay City, Mich., Central H.S., 6-5, 226. Mike Sturm, Bay City Times sports editor, says, "He is ·the best we've had in 20 years."

Considering that-Jim Kanicki, Cleveland Brown tackle, and Jerry Gross, U. of Detroit All-America, preceded Wirgowski, StUrm's evaluation speaks for itself. Bay City team rated No. 1 in Miclligan.

JOHN .EBERSOLE, Tackle, Altoona, Pa., H.S., 6-2, 215: Sever Toretti, Penn State assistant athletic· director, writes, "I corisider John Ebersole one· of the finest interior linemen I have ever seen in 'the state." A standout on both offense and defense for one of Pennsylvania's better.highschool elevens, Ebersole also handles kickoff chores.

JOHN DETHMAN, Gu~rd, Wy'East H.S., Hood River, Ore., 6-0, 210. Made All"State as a sophomore. Only N.F.L. stars Terry Baker and .Mel Ren{rq ever rated such attention in. soph seasons. In his firs~ six. games this year he blocked two punts and accounted foi: an amazing, 125 yards lost by opponents ash~ drove-in for tackles behind the line of scrimmage.

PAUL MARKS, Cente~, Washington· ii.S, Massi1Ion, Ohio, 6-0; ·200.· Coach Bob. Shaw of Niles,-Ohio McKinley H.S. writes, "I have scouted hiin in foiu games and he led his team to a 22-8 victory over us in a.fifth game. He is outstanding on offense and as a linebacker.'~ · .

CHARLES HENDRICKS--TACKLE

RICH SAUL--END

CHARLES HENDRICKS, Tackle, Robert E. Lee H.S., Bay.. town, Tex., 6-4, 230. "He's so big and strong that he ca:ri whip an entire side of the line by .himself," one college recruiter remarked after watching this giant at work. His agility and quickness made possible over ten tackles per game. In addition to two-way play, he averaged 3 9 yards on punts.-

RICH SAUL, .End, Butler, Pa., H.S., 6-3, 212. Comes from a football family, brother with Pittsburgh Steelers. Butler is not a passing· team, but Saul had five T.D.'s on 20 passes with two games re~aining to be . played. Rated best defensive end in the state. Ranks scholastically in upper fifth of senior class of 9.00.

Princeton's next series went nowhere and they kicked to the Moell.er 35. As the fourth quarter opened the Crusaders began a 65-yarQ. TD march. They cov· ered the distance in 13 plays and four first downs.

A six-yard pass; Bien to Haygood, helped start it. Malarkey got loose around tight end on a 22-yard sprint. He added six in. two more tries and Wilcoxson: ran for six.

Bien passed to Wilcoxson for 10 yards and a first down on the seven. It took the Crusaders all four downs to make it, but Wilcoxson powered over right guard for a Tb from the one. A keeper for the points-after failed.

The Vikings made a brief flurry with a 12-yard run by Gilford, but Shriner intercepted a Buttrey pass at the Moeller 42. M:on- · ahan promptly broke away a-1 round left end for a gain of 35. yards.

That threat died at the 17.

Princeton punted and Wilcoxson led the Crusaders back down to the 22 before they bogged down with 1:15 to go.

Special To The Enquirer ,

DAYTON, Ohio- Cincinnati Moeller, capitalizing on a couple of key breaks, kept its record clean and handed host D a y to n Chaminade High its first loss of the 1965 campaign w he n the Crusaders scored a 15·6 decision at University of Dayton Stadium.

Moeller's first TD came after Chamlnade fumbled the opening kickoff and the Crusader's recovered at the Eagle 26. Four plays later Steve Bien ·. p a s e d nine yards to end · Pat O'Keefe for the touchdown and Steve I ' Haygood· took a Bien pass for the two-point conversion.

Early in the second period, Chaminade m a r c h e d 54 yards in 13 plays to send quarterback Tim Sharkey · home from five yards out, but Bill Busemeyet tackled Chamiil.ade's Roger Ward to spoil the conversion try.

Moeller then took the en- ,j suing kickoff and marched 75 yards for the clincher, a \ two-yard bolt by fullback Dave Wilcoxson, with Fred ~ Shriner kicking the extra , 1 point. ·. · .

Moeller, sixth .ranked in 1 Ohio, is unbeaten in seven , · games, while Chaminade's lOth-rated Eagles are 6-1.

Flyer mentor has his work cut

Having fumbled away the opening kickoff at their own 26, the Eagles were eight points behind when the game was only a minute and 33 seconds old. Some two hours later they were on the short end of a 15-6 score . and sad d 1 e d with their first defeat in six games.

Carroll Chaminade alumnus G e r r y Faust rode back to Cincinnati with his lads owning a 7-0 sea· son record (24-3 in his last 2% seasons).

"WE WERE in bad position on the field most of the game," a disheartened C h a m i n a d e Coach· Hank Schneider said.

And the man who had said last week that "if we take this one I think we can go all the way," was faulting himself last night for the turn of events.

"We didn't get quite the re· suits we f i g u r e d from our passing," Schneider said. "I should have made him (quarterback Tim Sherkey) open up more." ' It wasn't much of an aerial contest. Sharkey connected on 6 of 13 passes for 34 ~·ards and lUoeller's Steve Bien got only 32 yards ott his ~·for·8.

Chaminade had the better of it on the ground in the statis· tics race, however, getting 149 yards to Moeller's 127. But they pay off only on touchdowns.

"That's the most yardage our defense has given, up," the 30year-old Faust said. "Chaminade pulled a few offensive surprises on us but fortunately ,~our boys were able to adjust.

~·-

With their first undefeated football team and first GCL ~rid title, ~Ioelll!r students and fans have cause for rejoicing.

The Crusaders can be deservedly proud of a job well done and their No. 3 ranking in the Associated Press state poll.

Moell~r was a bit overlooked in the pre·:;eason GCL fore· l'asts. After loRing 22 graduate~. m11ny of them standouts, the Crusaders figured to have some rebuilding to do. Coach Ge;·1·y Faust: p1·aises this year·s 19 seniors fot· tbeir attitude, leadership. and ;;.bilit~·. In [act. he says everyone connected with the program played a big part. "It was an all-around school effort."

'T'hi~ team had go-power. Led by flillbac~ D<1ve Wilcoxson with 78 points and haLfbaf'k .Jack Monahan with 32, the Cru· saders had 15 players who contributed six or more points to theit· 224 totaL Rut we'll best remember the "65 Moeller squad for its team effort and its defense, lt!d hy doughty linebackers Jerry Mauch, Nick Haverkos, Tom Backlms, and Fred Shriner. They held the oppositioll to 33 points and consistently came up with big plays that made crucial Bcorcs possible.

"Our defense forced many breaks," agrees Faust, who credits Coaches Phil Gigl io1.ti and George Marklay for the success of the defensive unit.

Crux of the campaign we•·e the back·to-back wins over Roger B<~con, 17-0. :mrl Elder, 8-6. After that Moeller gained momentum. They had to work to defeat Dayton Chaminade, 15-6, and St. Xavier, 14-6, but this was a team that was able to win the big ones.

high school football served up to them this year. Eight of 10 loeal teams lost three games or less: Moeller 10·0, Roger Bacon and Sycamore 9-1, Wyoming 8-1, Princeton 8-2, St. Xavier 7-3, J,ockland 6·3, and Woodward with a good chance to finish 6·3.

Special mention should go to the coaching efforts of Bron Bacevich at Roger Bacon and Bob Lewis at Wyoming. If they were to have a lean year, 1965 should have been it; instead each lost only one game. That bodes ill for future foes.

Bacevich had no starters returning this year, but fashioned a team that scored 233 points and gave up only 49. He loses some 12 regulars among 19 seniors, but has more undergrad· uates than usual on the varsity, plus some good, big personnel ~oming up. Bacon Booster club banquet is set for 6:30 Monday evening.

Lewis expected to lose froiu two to four games, ''but these ki<ls are used to winning. The last three games they were " real good (oQtba\1 team." The Cowboys, who scored 234 and g<Jve up 70 llOints, lose nine regulars on offense, seven on defense.
