On the wet afternoon of November 12, 1945 fArmistice Dayh Colusa declared war on Gridley. Two hours after the starting whistle the town of Colusa was in an uproarg the Redskins had finally won a foot- ball game 27 to O! The following' Friday history repeated itself. Colusa, after waging a terrific mud fight with the Corning Turkeyherders, came out on the long end of a 14 to 0 score. Although the '45 Redskin team started out slow they really finished the season with a hang. It was a real honor to have been elected captain by this team, because this team was out to do some good this year, and they really proved themselves. T IC D SCOTT

BOYS' SPORTS The challenge to overcome the no score, no win jinx, was the challenge to every boy who took on the task of playing football for Colusa High in 1945. For this job, there were 45 appli- cants, who with fixed determination and plenty of fight, proved it could be done. A somewhat disorganized team, whipped into shape by Coach B. Glasgow's untiring efforts, began to roll. Opening up with new single-wing plays, the Redskins fought hard until they had penetrated enemy territory and crossed the goal- line. Settling down and playing winning offensive and defensive football, the Reds netted a strong third place in league standing when they de- feated Gridley 27-0 and Corning 14-0. Once more the tide changed, this time for the worse, as basketball came into the picture. This season the B's ran off with the honors, followed by a disastrously defeated A string. The A's took a beating that will mar their record for some time. All of their games were defeats. Yes, some were close but yet defeats. As one player honestly said, We had good coach- ing, plenty of practice, but lacked the spirit and fight to come through on top. Our B's were, no doubt, the fightingest team on the floor. With action-crammed games the fellows displayed the important factor needed to win a game-teamwork. Their efforts were not in vain, since they caged 2nd place in the league, which was well deserved, BASKETBALL A TEAM Putting in a plug for Mr. Wilkinson's C's is easy. These little fellows were the center of attraction many times because of their tricky playing. If the fellows keep up their good playing, Colusa will have a good B squad next year. After the hardships of basketball a total of 30 boys turned out to try their skill at baseball. Almost all of last years va1'sity men were on hand, making this look like a very promising season. The interest in track is steadily increasing with quite a few new men reporting for training. As yet there has been no word of an interschool meet, but if there is or are any, our boys will be ready. Tennis has caught the eye of a few Freshmen and Sophomores. Some look promising and with Mr. Newman as an instructor, should develop into pretty good players. If this happens, the letter men will have tough competition and will have to be on their toes to stave off the new comers. By participating in sports, a high school boy or girl has taken a step toward the development of a good American. Losing a game is just as important as winning it, because in later life there will be many contests which will not always be victorious. Learning to be a good loser as well as a good winner will develop you and me into being the better citizen of tomorrow. That is why there cannot and will not be a drop in high school sports.
