And thank you Marion

Some tough photo's comming up

And tough choices. Number 5 will always be Stan Sytsma for me. But then Billy Cockerham should be available for the nuevo gophers.

Awesome photo of Chester!

Which #55? Which win over Iowa? There were so many!

If #12 is Ray Stephens...maybe Charles Killian was the center wearing 55? We beat Iowa so much during those years it is hard to tell

#55- Joe Pung, Captain of the Gopher Squad that year.

Identifying this photo (which I can link to in the Brickhouse exhibit but can't figure out how to paste into this message) is great fun. It is published on p. 85 of the Gopher Football Vault and is incorrectly identified there as a 1960 celebration. 1960 was definitely a Floyd of Rosedale capture worth celebrating because Iowa had been ranked #1 going into the game, only to be displaced by the Gophers' 27-10 victory. But the most obvious problem with that identification is that #12 doesn't look much like Duane Blaska. Flatfoot is correct that we beat the Hawkeyes at home every even-numbered year through most of the 60s. Beat 'em 10-0 in 1962, but Blaska was the starting QB that year, so that doesn't work either. Ray Stephens (Sandy's younger brother) wore #12 in 1966, when we won 17-0, so that would be a possibility. But there is another problem with that. In the background at the far right of the photo is #78, who clearly is neither Bobby Bell (1960 and 1962) or McKinley Boston (1966), so that seems to leave us with 1964. #12 that year was worn by Andrew Haines, who I don't really remember. He is listed on the roster as a QB, but John Hankinson (with some backup from Larry Peterson) got all the playing time that year. If you watch the 1964 season highlights film on the Brickhouse site you will see that #12 (presumably Haines) got enough playing time at defensive back to have dirtied his uniform pants and taken part in the postgame celebration. That would make captain Joe Pung the #55 in the middle of the celebration, as Sir William surmised. I wasn't familiar enough with him to identify him visually.
