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

The Elgin Huskies had a very successful season in basketball in 1940 and 41. losing only lwro ball games all season and thus making h story for old Elgin High. T he Huskies turned otv: an all-veteran team in 40, and with the skilled coaching of Coach Gibson, the team, with its small bu speedy boys ended the season with 18 out of 20 gomes to its cied' . This is a record that Elgin High is very proud to hold. Although they lost only two games, tbe boys came out sec- '. ord in the Tu-valley league, which entitled them to a trip to John Day.
