Tl-IE SEASON Probably no K. M. l, football team ever worked under more handicaps and hard luck than our Kaydets of 1943, 'bless 'em l-landicaps that could not be over- come, including a woeful lack of time for practice. The schedule was plenty toughe-designed for big- ger and veteran material, but they had gone into the Armed Services. The team was brand new and light. Most of the boys had never played on a team, Prac- tice couldn't begin until September Ql. Some of our opponents had been practicing for six or more weeks before we began which put us behind Ball No. 8 at the start, And not many of the fellows possessed the natural football instinct. But our Kaydets played some nifty football ot times, nevertheless They fought their hearts out in more than one gome when they knew they were out- classed, Even then they would occasionally pull together and start rolling in the K. lvl, l, style of other years to bring the stands to their feet, By the usual high school standards we had a good team. K. M. I. 6, Anchorage H. S. 0 With but eight days of practice the Kaydets beat the well-drilled Anchorage Anchors on their field in a nip-and-tuck tussle. Eullback Alfs hit the line hard and often for good gains and passed to Vinson to set up the gome's lone touchdown scored by Jimmy Ross. Anchorage threatened often but never reached the Promised Land. All the Kaydets got to play, K. M. I. 38, Tompkinsville H. S. 0 Combs skittered around end for the first touch- JOl-lN E, RACE lCentrel l-lead Coach BARTLEY W. VVlLLlAlVlS lVVilliam CI Maryl Line Coach down, Lenhardt passed to Beck for the second and third, Alfs plunged for another marker and lrvin and Puryear contributed the last two, 'lhe Tompkinsville visitors fought hard but could not halt the Flying Kay- clets who packed too much power for them. K. M. l. 6, Sf. Xavier H. S. 31 St. X. hung it on us, The Kaydets seemed dead on their feet, The Tigers uncorked tricky, versatile attack that we could not fathom until too late, Alfs shot a honey of a pass to O'Rorke who ran for a SS-A.
