At left, halfback Billy Christle receives his award signaling his position on the Missouri Valley Conference first team. Awaiting his turn in the limelight is Bobby Smith, halfback. The two backs were the only Eagles to be named to the team in a poll of MVC coaches.

Tackle Bill Kirbie, guard Billy Weaver and fullback Arthur Perkins received a niche on the second team. Tackles Gerry Hawkins and Richard Farris and end Mike Pirkle were recognized as honorable mentions material.
