THE 1943 FOOTBALL SEASON LeRoy started the season with about twenty eight fairly well experienced players and a new coach, Lyle K. Haines. The Scarlets had a full schedule of eight games this fall. Five were played on foreign fields and three on the home gridiron. The season opened at Harmony on September 18. The Scarlets were off to a good start, by romping over Harmony 37-0. The following Friday we traveled to Blooming Prairie to engage the Blossoms. Again we triumphed; this time the score was 33-0. On October 2 we again traveled away from home. We played St. Augustine in a night game in Austin's Stadium. The first opponent's touchdown of the season was scored on us, but we won 21-6. On Friday night the 9th we had our first home game with Stewart-ville. A large crowd was on hand expecting a good game because both teams were undefeated. LeRoy was victorious in a 6-0 knock-'em-down-and-drag-'em-out ball game. The next Friday we traveled to Grand Meadow. We scored thirteen points in the first half and had 12 scored on us in the last half, but we were strong enough to hold the precious one point lead. The Scarlets came home for the next two engagements. The first was with Hayfield under lights. At the half the score was 6-0 for the locals, but it went on to reach a 25-0 victory for us in the second half. The last home game was played with Spring Valley on October 31. The half time score was 0-0, but the powerful LeRoyites pushed over a touchdown in the fourth quarter. The final score read 6-0 for the LeRoyans. The season closed at Riceville on November 6 with the surging Scarlets taking an easy 56-0 victory. That's the whole season in a nutshell. The powerful Scarlets rolled up 197 points to their opponents' diminutive 18.
