We pfodoleo' the Gridiron The 1943 Bluestreak gridders, coached by Hank Hugener, had a successful season in spite of winning only one game. The team had a deter- Schedufe mined fighting spirit which gave all of their opponents terrific opposition. Under able Captain Dario Rolle, the team fought out each encounter to We They the final report of the gun. The Streaks lacked experienced line-men who September 11 Duluth Central 6 19 just couldn't pave the way for the veteran ball-carriers. Each game in S i lg V, . . 0 6 which the Streaks participated was a fine spectacle because the 'boys fought eptembel ' ugmla hard and played their best. S9Pt9mb91' 25, Buhl ---------f- ------- 3 3 6 Follows a resume of the highlights of the season: The first gamli of October 9, Hibbing ,,,,,,, ,,,.,., 6 7 the season against Duluth Central proved that our boys were strong b oc ers . ' who knew their football tactics. It seemed that the Streaks just couldn't gctogel gg' Eoliriflne ' ' 1 3 score against Virginia although the entire football game was played in cto er ' Vee ' enemy territory. Each long drive would place the Hugener men near the T t I Ei 82 goal line from where the Bluedevils would kick it back to safety. Virginia's 0 a S touchdown came after a jumble in center field. Our only victory was over Buhl in which we overwhelmed them with touchdowns. Mihelich was the star performer making most of the touchdowns on perfect runs. The Hibbing game was really a thriller with the Bluestreaks taking an early lead only to be overcome in the latter part of the game. Our encounter with Coleraine was very exciting with Chisholm coming back in the last half of play to make it anybody's game. However, the time ran short with Coleraine the winner. The last game was lost by a small margin to Eveleth. Some of the outstanding performers throughout the entire season were Dario Rolle, William Mihelich, William Kirk, and Rolbert Burich who carried the ball while Robert Siefert, Walter Kordich, John Sleconich, and Walter Beissel battled on ront ines.
