FOOTBALL The 1943 football squad was a potentially great suburban league team. A difference of one point in each of two gomes would have meant a co-championship. The difference of one touchdown and two extra points would have meant an undefeated season. From the squad of ninety-five that reported for pre-season practice came a team that showed its power by smashing Senn 26-6. A week later this team had a chance to show its grand heart by coming from behind in the second half to defeat Waukegon 13-7. Next came a breather with Waller, 53-0. But the following Saturday Evanston lost to a fine Proviso team, 7-8, by a safety. The gome with Oak Pork was a smashing hard game. Evanston led at the half, 6-0, but to Oak Park ' s traditionally great second-half team, lost 6-14. Apparently put on the skids by these two defeats, Evanston was losing to Maine 0-7 at the half, but came back in the second half to win 20-7. hHoping to avenge last year ' s loss, the team was keyed up to defeat Morton. But a super-abundance of fifteen-yard penalties and a tough team beat them in the most heartbreaking game of the season, 6-7. It is indicative of the truly great qualities of the team that it could come back after three tragic losses to defeat its old friends from the north. New Trier, 13-0. A disappointing season but a truly great team. 22
