  Kubesh is a native of Pine City, Minn., graduated in 1955 with a Mechanical Engineering degree, and lettered four years as an outstanding guard and linebacker under Coach Frank Zazula. He was named to the All North Central Conference team twice, 1953 and1954 and was a starter three straight years, missing less than two minuets of playing time his last three years. In addition to his all conference honors, he was named to the NAIA All America first team and to the Williamson Mid-Bracket All America first team. In 1954 he was UND's Most Valuable Player. Despite a busy schedule he finds time to help out a local high school football team as an assistant coach free of charge. Those who saw him play know he can best be described as being a complete football player and his teammates believe he would rank with any other gridder in the country during his era.
