'7oaz'Z4Zl With only tive lettermen, Richard Bretz, Don Faller, Boyd Eaglen, Gordon Aikens and Howard Wilkinson returning from the 1944 team, prospects for the football team this year did not appear too bright. However, Walter Harrington, Harry McQueeney, Bill Scallen, Bill Sheehan, Otto Wendell, Dave Witherow, Walter Dearborn, Dick Yost, Wally Stanley, John Kaminski, John Langer and Milton Dougan were on hand for open- ing practice, and through their willingness and co-operation worked in with the five expenienced men to form a line team. With the squad intact, the Huskies marched through to four straight triumphs. In the Corry game, Dick Bretz broke a hand, put- ting him on the sidelines for the remainder of the season, and this loss, along with a similar injury to Harry McQueeney in the following game, probably cost the Huskies the championship. The all-round play of Don Faller was especially outstanding throughout the season, and Don will long be remembered as one of the finest backfield performers in County League football. Bretz, a converted tackle, gave Don ample support in the ball-carrying duties. In the forward wall the play of Dave Witherow, Boyd Eaglen, Walter Harrington, and Howard Wilkinson, combined with the fine spirit of Walter Dearborn, Bill Scallen, Gordon Aikens and Milton Dougan gave us a rugged charging and hard line. Bill Sheehan and Otto Wendell were very capable line replacements while John Langer, John Kaminski, Harry McQueeney, Wally Stanley and Dick Yost rounded out a well balanced backlield. Faller, Bretz and Wilkinson were three fine representatives of our school in the annual Lionls Club All-Star game.

Zaadetdalf Lettermen Don Faller and Boyd Eaglen formed the nucleus of an aggressive and smooth working basketball team that was late in the season reaching peak form. Closed Schools, snow drifts, and illness combined to play havoc with early season practices, but after our boys were given the opportunity to get into condition a great comeback was achieved. Faller and Eaglen led the scoring, with Eaglen's 118 points in 12 league games be- ing high. Sheehan, Scallen, Stanley, Yost, Kaminski and Wendell contributed capable support and we are looking forward to a good season with five of this years eight lettermen returning next year.
