Qt J M! fra it 8:1713 ' L L ? gulls! 16' ,522 1 - . tellm 5' ill A New Euach Takes Uver This year saw a new coach talce over the reins ol loothall at Ellchart High. ln stepping into this enormous tasli, Cllenn Sil- cott should he given much credit, lor he turned what might have heen a handicap lo athletics into a decided asset. The 19116 Blazers were comparatively small, hut extremely aggressive, and estahlished lor themselves a season record of 3 wins, 5 losses and 1 tie. The opener was a hig success, and a winning season was in everyoneys mind around E.H.S. Showing a slashing ground attacli and capitalizing on the opponentls mistalces, Ellchart trounced North Side ol Fort Vvayne 26 to 12. Highlighting the Blue and Nvhite into the loothall season was a 36-yard touch- down run hy .lim Broadhent on a heautilully intercepted pass. Ellchart ran into one of the most powerful ol all 1946 high school teams in their next game. The Blazer eleven travelled to Toledo to meet VVaite High, year-alter-year State Champs of Qhio. Our hoys were wallced over and scored on at will hy the hig. almost professional gridclers of Waite. VVe limped away from that encounter on the short end ol a 56 to 0 score. A weelt ol hard practice sent a much smoother-operating Blue and White aggregation against Washington oi East Chicago. The Senators had too much, however, mostly in the lorm ot a couple ol haclclield Hlguddy Youngsu. The Vvashington griclders really lcnew they had played loothall when the final gun went off, hut they still trotted oft the held with a victory under their helts to the tune ol 38 to 6. Ellchartys lone tally was made hy quarterhaclc John Burt late in the third quarter, thus avoiding a shut-out. The Blazerss came haclc strong the next weelc, and gave the hig conference champs from Laporte a real scare. The second hall slowed up a hit and All-State quarterhaclc, Diclc Alhan, ended the Blazers, hope of victory. Fullhaclc Diclc Simons scored twice on power plays and Diclc nl'lawlc,' Berliclc, playing a lot ot loothall at end for Elkhart, caught a pass in the end-zone thus giving our gang 19 points to 32 tallied hy the Slicers. Ellchart got hacli in the winning column the next weelc with a 20 to 13 shellacing of a hard-lighting hlishawalca team. Showing plenty ol drive in every quarter, the Blazers loolied a little lilce the teams ol 1938 and 1939. All departments were vastly improved over the Laporte game. As expected. the next weelc saw a decided let-up in the llashy hrand ol hall played against the Bulldogs. Alter a 6 to 6 halftime score, the Red Devils from Michigan City, with the expert pass- ing ot Ciolelc, scored tour times and held EHS. pointless. Full- haclc Diclc Simons again scored the lone tirst hall touchdown EE GI 'AYGKV 'JUN l'- enn Sitcott, EHS. Foottmil Couch IIHPI' t 'e MA' Q' Dum Herring
