Book III Strength and F00 TBA ll On the opening day of the 1944 grid season Coach Roy Franko did what all good football tutors do in the first turnout session of a campaign. He began the task of getting to know his squad of grid hopefuls. He kid- ded returning lettermen about making men of them. He roused competitive spirit by telling his charges that no position was cinched. And he specu- lated on how the team would fare in the conference race. Commented Coach Franko: For my part I'm looking forward to this season. Before, I've had seniors to fill all the positions. This season we have mostly all green fellows. I haven't the slightest idea on how we'll do this year. But it's going to be interesting. Yes, we'll ad111it, the efforts of the '44 issue of the Golden Eagle eleven against the lettermen-studded Blaine team and the weighty, experienced Bellingham Pup-squad may have been interesting. The Eagles won only two of their six league games, but they did score against the title-winning Borderites and did give the Pups a terrific tussle in their second encounter with the B team. In the win column the Ferndale eleven defeated Mt. Baker 7-6, Meridian twice, 14-10 and 19-13. CThe Mt. Baker game saw the loss, for good, of Roland Peterson, swift-charging half-back, who sustained a broken collar-bone.D 'lit was in the first-of these latter victories over the Trojans that the Eagles played their smartest ball of the season. The first half went score- less. CHowever, it was only the stubborness of the Eagle line that held the visiting Trojans from scoring on repeated occasions.D Then, in the second half the Eagles sprang their big surprise. They switched from a Notre Dame Box to a T-formation and cut the Trojan line to shreds. Lefthalf, Don Bring galloped between guard and tackle on a perfectly coordinated play to rack up Ferndale's first touchdown. Bring also crossed the goal- strip for the extra point. In the fourth quarter Fullback Loney unleashed a long pass to End Bob Cline who caught it and went unmolested the re- maining distance to the goal. Loney bucked the line to add the point-after- touchdown. Only eight of Coach Franko's 24 lettermen will not return next season. Of this number Roland Peterson, a Junior, will naturally be absent from the coming campaign's roster because of his collar-bone injury. Ray Ryer, Don Bring, Dave Duncan, l,rvin Grout, Ernie Stowell, Bill Sundean, and Bob Nordvedt are all '45 graduates. Back for action next season, which from all aspects promises to be a successful one for the Eagles, will be Bob Cline, Bob Flaherty, George Hanowell, .larvin Loney, Wayne Flaherty, Bob Bezona, Harold Reimer, Herb Harriman, Bennet Asplund, Elwood Sundstrom, Bob Atwood, Rod Cardwell, Jake Creasey, Fred McIntosh, Alton Gregor, and Glen Bergh. -ROD CARDWELL.

Book III Strength and BA SKF TBA ll Lady Luck, who is a kind of guardian angel of sports, wasn't very partial toward the Eagles basketball team during the 1945 season. For a short time in the County League race it looked as though the fate-ren- dering woman had been won over to the Eagles' side. That was when the FHS five defeated consecutively Meridian and Lynden. But it was a pre- mature opinion, for the Eagles lost three tilts in a row following their two-game winning streak. In the final league contest of the season Lady Luck didn't abandon her disfavor of the locals, but allowed them to de- feat the title-winning Nooksack Valley Pioneers to stir up a little ex- citement in county sports circles. No, Lady Luck just wasn't an Eagle fan. A few of the tough breaks she handed Coach Cliff Axelson's cagers were: C13 The loss of ace forward Bob Cline for three league games because of an ankle injury received in a practice tilt with Concrete High, C23 The collarbone injury sustained by Roland Peterson, taking him from two months of practice sessions and elongating the time needed for him to get into shape, C33 Many border-line decisions by referees handed down to opposing teams, C45 The lack of height in the Eagles' camp that made them easy prey for teams which used man-to-man defenses. At times, scattered as they may have been, the FHS five was the peak of perfection in passing and ball handling and shooting. Chief among these was the final game of the season in which the cellar-struck Eagles edged out the championship-winning Nooksack Valley Pioneers, 44-43. Trailing dur- ing the first half, the locals came back in the second and third quarters to score one of the richest County League upsets in many a season. Pace- setters for the Eagles were Roland Peterson and Dave Dyck. Peterson was the ablest ballhawker of the evening and fired home 15 points while Dyck with his amazing push-shot style netted 13 tallies. The Eagles won three of their 10 league games. Every one of their triple of victories was decided by a single point. They squeezed by Meridian, 37-36, nosed out Lynden, 32-31, and crept past Nooksack Valley, 44-43. Star baekboard retrievers, a couple of fellows who did it when Coach Axelson barked Crack that baekboard, were Bob Cline and Bob Hansen. A consistent point-maker and a tricky passer, center Harold Reimer was one of the best pivot-men in the county, if not the best. Don Bring was a capable ball-hawker and Dave Dyck, another guard, showed his skill when he met up with zone-defenses against which his ability to score single arm push-shots was terrific. In trouble-shooting roles Roland Peterson, Bill Sundean, Bennett Asplund, and Allen Cratzenberg all proved their worth. Both Bring and Dyck graduate this year, leaving vacant two first team guard shots. Sundean of the reserves is also among the '45 seniors. Cline, Reimer, Hansen, Peterson. Asplund, and Cratzenberg will all be on hand next season. Bob and Bill Bezona who played fine hall on the second team will also return for action on the Varsity lineup. --RCD CARDWELL.
