I have a copy of Walt's 1942 La Torre yearbook I bought on Ebay. One photo shows the 1941 "Pearl Harbor" team's Chet "Camino Cowboy" Carsten (#67) with this caption: "Carsten is the tail-back waiting for the ball. Bill Donnelly (end) and halfback Stu Carter prepare for blocking assignments."
Carsten the tailback is taking a direct snap. There are no photos of a Ben Winkelman QB in the '42 yearbook. His co-captains were Ed Wenberg and Bob Hamill. I'll check some of my old programs to confirm QBs. But the Media Guide lists Allen Hardisty as the 1941 passing leader.
The most recent Media Guide list passing leaders by years, but only going back to 1938:
1938: Leroy Zimmerman 85-51 689 yards
1939: Leroy Zimmerman 84-35 459 yards
1940: Dward Tornell 89-45 501 yards
1941: Allen Hardisty* 81-30 281 yards
1942-46 are not available (WW II)
1947: Jim Jackson 122-49 799 yards
1948: Chuck Hughes 115 47 757 yards (died last year near Modesto)
*captions in '42 La Torre:
"In the controversial C.O.P. game Allen Hardisty crosses the goal line as several Tiger players get a strangle hold. Bob Hamill (58) and Bill Donnelly witness the score."
"Allen Hardisty jumps over a pile of San Jose and Utah players to gain two yards for the Spartans as an Aggie player crosses over to stop the play. End Bill Donnelly hugs the turf in the foreground."
BTW, I just received a recent photo from 1955-56 QB Tuck Halsey this week showing him with four Spartan Hall of Fame baseball players. We'll run it in the next SJS Rat Line magazine.

: Using the latest media guide, I'm trying to
: come up with a list of every Spartan QB that
: has lettered in school history. Here's the
: list thus far, which is incomplete. Missing
: are most of the 1940's, and pre-1937.
: Most surpising is finding out that only (4)
: players have earned letters in all four
: seasons (Steve Clarkson, Dan O'Dell, Marcus
: Arroyo, and Adam Tafralis).
: There were two QB'a named Miller (Bob &
: Jim) that lettered the same years (1976
: & 1977).
: In 1957, six QB's earned letters. Two of
: them were Dick V.'s (Vermeil and Volmer).
:
: If any of the oldtimers have some additional
: names to add to the list, let me know.
