Fourteen years have flown by since '.he strenuous sport was dropped, and now much to everyone’s enthusiasm, students again had the pleasure of cheering Huskie teams on the gridiron. However. 4here was a notable contrast between the scene of 1926 and that of 1940. For the mighty Huskies sported 22 brand-new outfits during the past year. Likewise :he years had taken their toll to such an extent that the interest and enthusiasm for football is far from keen. Coach Gibson was badly handicapped by lack of material as there were only about 16 boys regularly reporting for practice, of whom only one had any previous experience and many had never so much as seen a football game. Despite these drawbacks, with long hard hours of practice by the players and coach alike, a surprisingly effective team was rounded in o shape. By look- ing at the won and o»i columns the Huskies did not have a very good season, compared to records in basketball and baseball, but can justly be as proud of football as of the win-studded records of other sports. 1941
