For the first time the Rail- roaders captured the Northeastern Indiana Conference Championship. For a starter Garrett chalked up a tie gome with Portland and a defeat at the hands of Warsaw. Profiting from experience, the Parksmen defeated the strong Columbia City team and then followed through by breaking the Hicksville tie jinx and downing the pow- erful Decatur and Central (B) teams. Smarting from a defeat administered by the powerful Goshen team, the Parksmen came back to trounce the fiery Red Devils. The prospects for 1943 are promising if the armed forces spare enough boys to make a team. SEASON ' S RECORD Garrett 6 .Portland 6 Garrett 7 Warsaw 28 Garrett 6... Columbia City Garrett 6 Hicksville ROGER GELHAUSEN— Tackle, 3 year letter- man. Hornsby our captain was always in there fighting until the final gun sounded. He made Auburn know Garrett was on the field by killing the fatal touchdown attempt. JAMES SCHLOSSER— Tackle, 3 year letter- man. Jim was a hard-hitting tackle who could play almost any position well. It was his long kickoffs that helped to make our rivals short of a touchdown. DALE CUSTER— Guard, 3 year lettermcm. Ek was a husky boy who could do pow- erful things. It was his hard hitting that stopped many a run before it got started. JAMES PORTER— End, 1 year lettermon. Handy-man Jim was the boy who made the shoe-string tackles and snagged passes Garrett 13 Decatur Garrett 25 Central (B) 13 Garrett 14 Goshen 44 Garrett 6 Auburn out of the ether, in a way that seemed un- believable. ALAN FITCH— End, 1 year lettermcm. Al our lanky right-end, caught those long touchdown passes. He could always be counted on to see that no rival back got around his end. CHRISTY KALAFAT— Guard, 1 year letter- man. Christy better known as Tiny was the big boy of our outfit. When Tiny blocked with his bone crushing shoulder, his opponent knew he had met his match. EUGENE SOUDER— Half-back, 1 year let- termcm. Sod as he was better known was the boy with the educated toe. He ' s the one that punted those long specials down the field. 27
