Defiance High School Football...In 1926

Defiance High School Football Team, 1926.  Another photo with no names!  Can you help?
The following article, which appeared in the Crescent-News on December 1, 1926, listed the players in 1926, naming 22 men, but only 16 appear in the photo above, one of whom might be the coach.  Was this the starting lineup only?  

The men's names listed: Coach Lewis R. Hirt
Seniors: Captain Bob Woodward, "Red" Ury, "Bill" Rex, Laurence Deckrosh and 
Ralph Goldnetz

Others:
Paul Hohenberger     Val Carey    George Chapline    Dall Brown   
Dall Cunningham    Harry Scheuerman    Paul Goldnetz    Ray Carpenter
Rolland Noffsinger    Lem Haller    Julius Spengler    "Sonny" Hale
Carroll Holley    Bob Galliers    Henry Gherke    "Stiff" Leonard
