Football The Comet Football team ended their second year of six-man football without any wins, but we don't feel that our efforts have been wa.sted. Four players will be lost this year by graduation, but the remaining lower classmen have high hopes for the next season. Old Lady Luck didn't take much pity on us, for in our last game with Echo the score was 32 to 7 and Bob Brown, our right end, broke his arm. Bob, who was our hard fighting Junior, unanimously won the right to have his name engraved on the Elliott trophy. This trophy was presented to us last year by Coach Elliott who started six-man football in Irrigon. The boys who earned letters this year were: Clarke Stephens George Volle, Leonard Aldrich, Jack Zabransky, Bob Brown, Louis Rucker, Lawrence Smith, Jack White, Jim Haddox, and Gene Mulkey. The players and positions were: Clarke Stephens .................. ....... F ullback George Volle .................... ......... H alfback Leonard Aldrich ...... .......

Basketball The Irrigon Rockets went through the 1945-46 basketball sea- son winning a fair percentage of their games. The team worked hard all season trying to get a berth at John Day but did not make it. Although the Rockets did not get to go the boys did not feel that their time was wasted, and are looking forward to a more successful season next year. Even though we did not have a winning team, we were supported loyally by the towns- people and the rest of the high school for the entire season. The letter men were as follows: Seniors: Leonard Aldrich, Clarke Stephens, Jack Zabransky, and Lawrence Smith, Juniors: Bob Brown, and David Rand, Sophomores: Louis Rucker, Jimmlf Haddox, Jack White, and George Volleg Freshmen, Dean Acoc . Bob Brown, a Junior, was not able to play basketball during the Eirst half of the season due to an arm injury received in oot all.
