hard driving Kansas haUback; Gary Lutz,

The Little AU-Phi Teams
The 1953 Little AU-Phi football team has
the finest array of explosive passing, punting,
and scoring backfield talent in the
past decade of Fraternity grid history.
At quarterback is Bill Bradshaw, Bowling
Green, who was the leading small college
punter in the nation with a 44-yard
average. He had 48 pass completions for 865
yards and pitched eight touchdowns. Bill
rushed 236 yards for a total gain of 1,101
yards; in addition he returned 22 kickoffs
for 533 yards. Vaino Grayam, Wabash aerial

yards and nine touchdowns.
Stan Huntsman, Wabash's terrific fullback,
ground out 1,048 yards to rank
seventh among small coUege rushers and
he tallied twelve touchdowns for 72 points.
Bill Dean, Washington (St. Louis) fullback,
received a fine compliment from Coach
Carl Suavely when he said, "Dean will be
the hardest player to replace on our squad
next season."
The halfbacks are really sensational. Carl
Stumpf, Lawrence College co-captain,
tallied 79 points and was selected on the
Mid-West Conference second team. Jim
Burst paced Washington University of St.
Louis to its most successful season in history.
The junior halfback was a demon on
pass receptions and set a new University
scoring record of 73 points. Earl Walker, a
Baylor University transfer to Whitman College,
rushed 690 yards with a 6.6 yard average.
He was selected on the All-Northwest
Conference team. Len Klingberg, Union
captain, rushed over one hundred yards in
five different games with a season total of
808 yards.
The Little AU-Phi ends are as spectacular
as the backfield performers. Wendell Hester
is from Iowa Wesleyan's undefeated and untied
team. He was the team's leading scorer
with 62 points; he handled the punting
duties, kicked 20 extra points, and was an
AU-Iowa Conference selection the past two
seasons. Jim Ladd, Bowling Green, an AU-
Phi and Little All-American end in 1952,
was not as spectacular this season but he
still caught 31 pases for a total of 473 yards
to rank tenth among small college receivers.
Dick Ryan, North Dakota's All-North Central
Conference halfback, this year was
