A r m ond Sasso, '42 A glance at the record of our football team would lead one to believe that the season of 1941 was a failure, at least from the standpoint of games won and lost. Such, however, is not the case. Although our team lost more games than it won-five games lost to four won-we prefer to consider the campaign a successful one. Certainly this record is a distinct and pleasant improvement on the accomplishments of previous years. And it is all the more impressive since all our games were played away from home. Perhaps the one factor that made this season such an improvement on those of previous years was the addition to our coaching staff of two members of the Newark Bears Professional team, Karl Schuelke and Joseph Zeller, backheld and line coach respectively. Both men proved of invaluable help to Mr. Zbikowski in fashioning a winning team. Their combined efforts and talents were quite apparent in the brand of football displayed by our boys, particularly in the Roselle Park and Westneld games. The team reached its peak in this latter engagement, and although we were finally forced to accept defeat, we did so only after a bitter struggle. There is every indication to believe that next season will be a particularly bright one. There is every indication to believe that we are going places in football, and our sincerest Wishes for success are offered Mr. Zbikowski and his 1942 squad. The Record: Har. Opp. Har.
