FOOTBALL The Chilton Blugolds got off to a good start this year by winning tho first game of the season over Kimberly by a close score of 12-7. This was one of the few times that Chilton defeated a Kimberly football team. As the season progressed, the Chilton gridders scored victories over Fond du Lac’s “B” team and Central of Green Bay school team. The first conference game of the season was played against Kiel from whom Chilton won by a score of 19-6. After the Kiel game, which was the fourth straight victory of the season, our team had all the determination and vigor to go through an undefeated season for the first time in C. H. S. history: but it was finally defeated by the powerful Little Chute team 26-0. The boys still had high hopes of winning the conference championship even after this encounter. Still remembering the defeat suffered at the hands of Little Chute, the Chilton aggregation, with a lot of fight and spirit, defeated Peshtigo 39-18. The final game of the season was climaxed by a 7-0 victory over Plymouth. By their victories over Kiel and Plymouth the team won the 4th Northeastern Wisconsin Football Championship. Seven seniors played their last game for Chilton and their great plays will be remembered for many years. This concluded perhaps the most successful season since the powerful team of 1938. Six lettermen will be back for next year to carry on where this year’s team left off. Lettermen are: Gene Pfeiffer, L.E. Fred Dempsey, L.T. Mike Miller, L.G. Art Casper, C. Dick Winch, R.G.

Even though it could have been better. The boys tried hard but had a great deal of bad luck until the district tournament at Two Rivers. Before the season was underway there was a noted feeling for championship which the boys strived for, and looked as if they were going to achieve, after winning their first three conference games. Then the roof fell through! First, the boys lost to Valders, then to Elkhart, then to Kohler, all in very close games. They returned to win the next three games only to lose the two following. The C. H. S. basketball team finished in fourth place; four notches below their expectations. Then came the tournament. First Chilton overwhelmed Plymouth 30 to 15, then came the Blugold’s best game of the year against Kewaunee who was expected to win the tournament until the Chilton boys took that idea out of their minds. The officials of the tournament said, and I quote: “The Chilton-Kewaunee game was by far the most outstanding game of this tournament.” The score of this game was 26 to 16. The first half was a thriller. The score at the half was 13 to 12 with Chilton squeezing ahead in the last 20 seconds. Then on the last night of the tournament, Chilton lost a hard-fought battle with Two Rivers (1941 State Champs), but bad luck, which the boys thought was all over, came again and spelled defeat. Their chance of entering the state tournament at Madison was cancelled until 1943. Chilton was awarded second place in the tournament, the best any Chilton team ever did. Shorty Hoffmann and Dick Pfeiffer made the all-tournament team while James Pfeffer, a sophomore, made the third team. Next year with Joe Zeegers, Alfred Bruckner, James Pfeffer, Donald Schultz and Gene Pfeiffer, the boys should have a successful season. 29
