Bill Gagnon, husky Faust young- ster who played a bang-up game in the backfleld this season for the Red and Black, was the officials' choice for first-string All-North- ern fullback. Commenting on the ••lection, the Journal sportswritere had this to say: \In Gagnon of Tupper Lake we have the most powerful fullback in the league. A hard plunger and a good block- er, he was a menace at all times. Had he been with either Massena, O. F. A. or Potsdam, Gagnon would have been a mighty hard man to atop.\ Herman Fuller, Richard Dew- yea and Collins Stackhouse were other Tupper gridders whose playing stood out in the Northern League this fall, and all received honorable mention. Fuller was one of four cited for honorable mention as All-Northern end; Dewyea won mention for a guard position.) and Stackhouse as a back. T Grid honors for those Tupper players came as a fitting climax to the best football season the Red and Black has experienced in a decade.
