Twoamateurfootball football leagues a join in annual Award Night About 200 parents and friends attended the annual Football Award Night at the Memorial Auditorium in Union Tuesday night, November 1, to witness the acclaim of some 225 players. The League officials newly for the 1962 season were introduced by Toastmaster Ray Arand.

Elroy Selz, beginning his third term as treasurer, reported league income for the season of over $900 with expenditures slightly less and a bank balance of $9.00.

Lakebring and Mike, Livengood, Mark Mathews and Mark 1 Vincent; Union 49'ers Kevin Arand, Randy Allen, Ricky Heeger, Bob Jackson and Dale Klenke. The trophy for the Most Valuebale Lineman in the league was taken home by Rod Weirich while the Most Valuable Back award went to Tom Richardson. After the individual team awards were presented in the Big League, Commissioner Carl Stowe presented the All Star awards: Union Browns John Pinnell, Bob Velander, Mike Clark, Jim Goers and DaWayne Stahlman, Mike Gross, Mickey Wilmesher, Gary Goode, and Terry Bray; Union Romie Kopf, Jimmy Lee, Jeff Leach, Richard Bay and Stan Lorch; Washington Redskins J. McLaughlin, Butch Yenzer, Kenny Krimmel, Mike Connor and Terry Engemann; St. Clair Cardinals Robert Dopp, Clint Easton, Bob Johnson, Danny Ploussard and Richard Bachman.

Most Valuable Back award in the Big League went to Robert Dopp of the Cardinals after the following boys were nominated: Peter Bozzo, Kenny Krimmel, John Pinnell and Dale Mathews' as well as Dopp. The Most Valuable Lineman award went home with Mike Connors of the Redskins with Wayne Stahlman, Bob Johnson, Bill Wade and Jimmy Lee also being nominated. Plans have been initiated by the league for care and improvement of the Union field, for greater liason with the service clubs in the area, for the addition of one or more Little League teams from Washington and for a change in the rules to advance the age limit in the Little League by one year with a reduction in the Big League by one year. This would mean that no boys under age eight would be added next year and the present "graduates" from the Little League will remain in this league an additional season. It is hoped that this resulting loss of players to the Big League will be made up by more energetic recruiting and, at the same time, will eliminate a lot of "bench warming" by the smaller and younger boys in the Big League.

The following Union boys were honored: Colts Lettermen Tom Friese, John White, Tom Rathgeber, Dennis Berding, Ricky Sudholt, Woody Grannemann, Terry HeuSteve Richardson, Steinbeck, Cy Murray, Jack Picker, Dennis Hill, Kenneth Kramme, Mike Pautler, Paul Stoehr, Gary Wilmesher, Tom Copeland, Ray Williams, John Claggett, Dale Mathews, Most Improved Back Mike Ritter, Jeffrey Leach, Romie Kopf, Most Improved Lineman Stan Lorch, Team high scorer and game captain Jimmie Lee, and Season captain Richard Bay.

JOHN HAM We appreciate your past patronage and hope you will continue to do business with the new owners. GENE OWENS, JOHN JETT, BOB HOEMANN Chance here to cause smiles, says director Would you like to make someone happy at Christmas? Someone who will not receive a single gift or card from a friend or relative? John Redstrom, Director of Volunteer Services, State Hospital No. 4 at wonderful Farmington, points out a smiles and persons opportunity, to bring confined to the isolation of an institution with no one to remember them during holidays. About half of the 1800 patients at Farmington receive a gift except those senior outsiders, Mr. Redstrom says, in a letter to newspapers in eastern Missouri.

Organizations and individuals are invited to send gifts or to arrange ward parties at the hospital. Gifts should be sent as early in December as possible to Volunteer Services, State Hospital No. 4, Farmington, Missouri, If the packages are gift wrapped, it is requested that contents be marked on the outside. Volunteer Services prefer that they be not wrapped, he says, but wrapping material sent along with the gift will be appreciated. Gifts suggested include pipes, cigarettes, gloves, shampoo, socks, playing cards, cosmetics, combs, slippers, stationery, permanent wave kits and underwear.

It is the aim of the director that not a single patient will be left out and that all will know the pleasure--and lappiness- of the knowledge that someone remembered.
