The 1943 Football Season began with the very finest fighting spirit among Tech's Wildcats, even though the team was inexperienced, and had only three lettermen, Roman Kunecki, Ted larmuloski, and lack Syreck, back from the l942 squad. In spite of their inexperience the Wildcats displayed outstanding perform- ance against Catholic Central, who were the city champions, and the last game with the Creston Polar Bears was also praised very highly by sport critics and city newspapers, although the team was generally under-rated throughout the season. Although no games were won, the team never at any time became dis! couraged, but tinished the season with the same excellent spirit in which they started. At all times the student body and players showed loyalty and sportsf rnanship of which we may well be proud. About the middle of the season, the coach, Wendell Emery, volunteered for service and left as a commissioned otlicer in the Navy. Despite this interrupe tion and regret among the players, Coach Brouwer took the job of coaching over, and proved himself very efficient. The number of men coming back for next years team depends a great deal on the war, but Coach Brouwer expects about twelve lettermen back. lf all these players return, next year's season should prove to be a good one. Roman Kunecki, the captain of the team, won a place on the All-City Second Team, Ken Iandernoa, lack Syrek, and Ted Iarmuloski, co-captain, won honorable riention. ffl l'HOlti'l' HOW lf, Lankowski, H Newcomb, 1.
