Conference coaches selected the 6 ft. 2 in. 205 pound Westmar College senior tackle on offense for that position on the all-conference team.

The 1968 season was West- mar's first undefeated one since 1911, when it was 8-0. Six of the Eagles football victories were scored against conference opponents.

Exclusive Advance Polaroid photo. Athletic scandal rocks Lakes junior college Charge illegal scholarships being given A cha rge by a secreta ry that tax money was being used illegally for athletic scholarships at the Iowa Lakes Community College at Esther- villc was made Monday. Algona is a part of the five- county district which also includes Emmetsburg and Spencer. An investigator from the State Department of Public Instruction, Robert Yeager, was ordered to meet with tho school officials this week and exiimine the school's books. The charge was made by Mrs.

Pearle Overeen, who resigned Monday because she said tax money was being used for athletic scholarships to lure students to the campus for their athletic prowess. SHE REPORTED that approximately 25 students apparently received tuition scholarships to the school. Mid that school officials claim holding jobs but that of kids know anything about jobs." Miss Overeen said she quit her job rather than follow orders to make out checks to pay student athletes. "I've never done anything illegal or dishonest in my life and I'm not going to start now," she said. Miss Overeen said she realized the school was giving out money for scholarships when tuition collected fell to $10,000 short of the amount that should have been collected for the number of students enrolled.

School superintendent Dr. H. Edwin Kramer immediately denied the charges. He said the students have jobs and "give the school value received" for the money. THE USE OF tax money for scholarships of any kind or building gyms or other athletic facilities is not permitted by law passed in 1965 creating the area vocational-technical school and community college system.
