The Saints sacrificed some
speed this year but may have
made up for it in better size
IXtug Oberkamper (6-2 , 250)
will anchor a large offensive
line that should control the
front trenches Kollin Vance (6-
3, 220), Grant High graduate, is
rated high at tackle and Rod
Rickert (6-3, 200) may play
opposite Oberkamper at guard
Tight end Ed Peterson (6-5,
200) has been a pleasant sur
prise He has excellent speed,
good hands and has improved

q u arterb ack prospects are
hurting with injuries
Paul
Maguire has a sore arm and
Tom Phillips is held up by a
thigh pull.
Mt Hood is deep at fullback
Two of the best appear to be
Steve Dionas (6-1, 205) and
Darrell Stevens (5-11, 207).
Two experienced halfbacks
will lend solid running and
blocking to Hiebert's trip le
option attack Curtis Mayes is
a breakaway threat having
averaged 7 4 yards per-carry in
'71 He was Mt Hood's second
leading ball carrier last fall
Tom Diaz mans the other
halfback He scored 5 TDs last
fall and is an outstanding
blocker
The Saints averaged 178
yards rushing last fall and 111
yards passing.
An experienced defensive
corps will be a m ajor asset on
this year's club
Ric Altishin (6-2 , 240) moved
from the offensive line to
defensive end. The Central
Catholic grad will be teamed
with Glen Watters (5-11, 195)

outstanding
group
of
linebackers

Marshall) was second-team all
conference
at
m iddle
linebacker last fa ll
He's
flanked by Stan Mendenhall (5-
9. 200) and Duke Minium (6-2,
205) Kevin West (6-1, 205). a
freshman from Parkrose, will
see a lot of playing time.
Bob Boustead is the lone
returner in the Saints secon
dary He’s the quickest man on
the squad Boustead is being
counted on for the leadership
needed
in
the
loss
of
Harrington, Hugh Woodward
and Scott Seiler
Freshmen Bob Bird, Mike
Booker, D arrell Mellum and
Scott Sanders will battle for the
remaining slots along with
Gresham grad Mike Williams

from Gresham, will handle the
Saints kicking chores in the loss
of Woodward.
G rays H a rb o r, defending
division cham p, w ill again
contest the Saints for a spot in
the conference championship
game.
Size, depth, running and
defense must propel the Saints
if they're to reach their goal of
an NAACC championship in
only their third year of com
petition.
CURTIS MAYES, sophomore halfback from Benson,
gives Saints breakaway threat. Mayes averaged more
than 7 yards per carry last fall and was Saints second-
