FOOTBALL SEASON Gonzaga's football team of 1943 was composed of a handful of veterans from last year's squad, assisted by a number of seniors who, playing varsity football for their first time, lifted themselves into the gridiron's limelight by their excellent performance. Lightness and inexperience were counteracted by the fighting spirit -e .fgrep .V ,. 'ffegftgt X 1. - Q r- 'f 1 ' r u 4 5 ., ge . f 1 f A - 1 1 'ri'i 1 3 s 1 1 5 . , .

The body must be trained and developed as well as the mind, tor man is not pure spirit but a composite of body and soul. ll the mind. is to show forth results commensurate with its ability it must be housed in a healthy body. For this reason, the stu- dents at Gonzaga are encouraged to participate in athletics, not only by seeking membership on the various school teams which engage in interscholastic competition, but also by taking part in the extensive intramural program which is conducted at the school throughout the year, and which, with few exceptions, is within the scope of every student. Under the direction ol Father Herlihy, SJ., and the Coaches, Mr. Samuel Richards and Mr. loseph Kozik, the sports program presented innumerable opportunities to the entire student body and the results were most satisfactory. -v ,K I -

fl 1' ff 1 qoNzAqA-'47 mrs.-o qoNzAqA-51 DEVITT - 0 ff 0 I I Z C-,ONZAGA-2'f first game of the season, one with National Training School, was played, Gonzaga had a well-drilled team to put on the field. This was evidenced by the way the first team methodically went to work in the first quar- ter to score twice. The second team came into the fray to push over another touchdown, but it was the third string that played most of the game, crossing the goal three times. Iourneying to Baltimore on October 4, Gonzaga was turned back by a strong Mt. Saint loseph team. The Gaels scored early in the second period after a 45 yard march. Gonzaga threatened just before the half with Angelo Zanger carrying the pigskin to the one- yard line, but then a heart-breaking holding penalty killed our chances. Devitt Prep. was the object of Gonzaga's wrath fol- lowing the Mt. St. Ioseph's game, and the team rolled up a 39-0 score despite the heavy line of the Preppers. Bob Horan and Moe Zanger each scored two touch- downs, while Ioe Hickson picked an enemy pass out of the air and galloped 45 yards behind fine blocking to score. Ioe O'Neill crossed the goal from the 6-yard line to help the Eagles' scoring column climb to such a height. In the midst of rain ana wet, Gonzaga defeated a .... qeo.

The little Hoyas drove well into our territory on five occasions, but our line held them and our season scoring totaled llU points to 5 for our opponents. Again a Baltimore trip proved unhealthy for the Gonzagas, as the Calvert Hall eleven had a good day at our expense, scoring four touchdowns to beat the Eagles, 27-7. Fighting hard, the team just couldn't get rolling against the boys from Calvert, though they played their hearts out trying to stave off the Calvert drive. Stopping him before A real football hug.
