Third row—B. Stevenson, B. Smith, L. Olson, H. Peterson, Coach Anderson, L. Kroecker, H. Olfert, B. Johnson, R. Fast, R. Prescott. It was a successful football season for the Dragons this year, as they only lost one of the five scheduled games. Wartime transportation difficulties limited the number of games scheduled for the season by the Dragons but they did well in the games they played. The season got off to a good start with a 45 to 0 victory and this winning streak continued until the last game when they were finally defeated. The Dragons were headed by a new coach this year. Coach Anderson from Minnesota proved a capable football man and made a good record for his first year. Only five seniors will leave the Dallas eleven this year so Coach Anderson expects a record team next season. There is a group of promising underclassmen who will make excellent football material for the coming season.
