Fifty Years Ago

The Grand Coulee Tigers football team had a most successful season. Leading rusher for the squad was Landy Harrell, averaging 9.44 yards per carry for the year. He was followed by John Hotchkiss, who averaged 5.91 yards. The two big guns on the defensive screen were co-captains Rodney Bise and Fred Manzer. These seniors, along with the rest of the line, composed of Ron Kosloski, Marvin Palanuk, John Weber, Dennis Thomas and Dick Behrens, will also be missed by next year's team.
