qoaidall... is here to stay at last! After a ten-year streak of mediocre or poor performances on the gridiron, the 1943-44 edition of the Blue and Orange estab- lished Appleton High School as a leading power in Fox Valley football circles. Caunt, handsome, and forceful Ade Dillon, after a year as assistant coach, took over the reins as chief mentor and proved to be the driving personality that was needed to mold a great team out of the Appleton Terrors. The advent of Dillon was one in a series of moves that established a triumvirate of head coaches for each major sport, a new system which is beginning to pay divi- dends. lvlyrlon Seims was relieved of the strain of heading both football and basketball and remains as coach of the cage game, while Marvin Babler directs the track team and Dillon teaches football and tennis. Little was expected of Dillon and his inexperienced charges. Appleton boasted five lettermen as a strong but not outstanding nucleus, and the rest of the team plus all reserve strength would have to come from the green but willing boys who played last year with the B Squad, or were entirely new to high school football. Backfleld men Frank Sanders, Reed Forbush, and Don Williams plus line men Duane Bates and Cliff Bunks were the lettermen around whom the Terror A Terror power play hits the East Bay end . . . Look at those big, bad boys in white Bates pops out of the middle of a pileup . . Schuh is kibitzing Appleton is caught in the middle of a reverse . . . Forbush faking, Schuh carrying team was to be developed, and thereby hangs a tale. The season was only four weeks old when fullback Sanders and quarterback Williams were lost to the team for the year, and Bates, a cinch all-conference at guard, was holding down the fullback spot. Inex- perienced sophomore Don Boya was operating at quarterback, rugged senior wingback Bill Schuh was favoring a wrenched shoulder, starting tackle jim Campbell was hobbling on one ankle, end Ben Rosen- thal had a back injury and promising reserve sopho- more back Wayne Weinfurter had incurred a broken nosegand from all that misery Appleton High put together a fighting team that wasted no time in upsetting many a Fox Valley apple cart. Let's let the story tell itself. APPLETON 13-NORTH SHEBOYCAN o... First game, and one of the best . . . Sanders scores on plunge . . . Bunks is on payoff end of a long for- ward pass by Forbush . . . defense of the Grange- men is outstanding . . . sophs and juniors, used in key spots, show signs of nervousness but just as many signs of great promise . . . so far no in- juries. APPLETON 7-POND DU LAC 6 . . . One of the two finest high school football games seen on Whiting field in many years . . . the other being this year's Appleton-East game . . . Ground attack sparkles as Terrors become only team to beat the Fondy cardinals, eventual Valley Cham- pions . . . Forbush to Rosenthal, one of the Con- ferences top pass combinations, sets up game- winning touchdown . . . Forbush plunges over and kicks the vital extra point . . . Determined Fondy team stages bruising late game drive for score but Appleton's hard biting line blocks point after touchdown . . . Townspeople go away raving Page 25
