The team was also known as the "Wolfmen," named after Coach Wolfe. Four regular players from the previous year's championship and two lettermen who played in the last season were on the team. Coach Wolfe lost "Jumping Jake" (Paul Hoffman) who led the Spartans in the last season (lost by graduation), but there were several good freshmen prospects that were possibly strong enough to offset the loss.

Donnie Butts, Norman Jones, Dick Juillerat, Bud Lantz, Eldon Miller, Tom Miller, John Moore, Kent Moore, Wayne Yager, Jim Robbins, Ronald Stork, Dick Whistler, Mike Yoder.
