Through the efforts of Sid Thomas and several other members of the community, money was raised to purchase uniforms for the team. Denver Dyer coached the Drag- ons, who finished with a 2-1 record. The Dragons beat Montgomery and Canton, but lost a close contest to Muncy. The team featured co-captains Don Helter at quarterback and Van Johnson at halfback. Other mem- bers of the starting squad were: Harold Leitzel, Harold Snyder, Bill Lytle, Walt Diehl, Bill Reitz, Ellsworth Royer, John Dyer, Bill Miller, Charles Beaver, and Ben Herbst. The 1945 Season Lewisburg 19 Lewisburg 6 Lewisburg 21 Montgomery 14 Muncy 12 Canton O 1 946 Lewisburg finished a very suc- cessful second season on the gridiron, after almost a quarter century absence from football. Coaches Denver Dyer and Joe Diblin issued the first call to practice on August 19, which was answered by about 50 fighting but comparatively green fellows. The job cut out for the coaches was to mold a team from this squad. The Dragons conquered in five games and were subdued twice. In the first game of the season the Dragons easily trimmed Mifflin- burg, but fell before the onslaught of Northumberland and Mont- gomery teams. The team won all of the remaining games on its schedule, and only hard work by both the team and the coaches attributed to the successful season.

Another away game was played at Picture Rocks on a very cold afternoon. After the game was scheduled, we heard about a monster team up there which would destroy us. Jules Priest, a Bucknell player, gave us this advance information. They were mostly farm boys and worked on lumber tracts. Their field was rough and had quite a slope at one end, toward the goal post. We prepared our team in advance. Speed, sure tackling and sharp blocking must prevail. The boys, through fear, daring and team spirit did just that. They brought home the bacon, 13-7. The borough fathers breathed more easily after that one. The boys had really proven themselves a solid team. The last episode I wish to tell about was a game played with the Susquehanna University Junior Varsity. We had played them in a O-0-tie game at the beginning of the season. They asked for a return game near the end of the season. It was played on the Bucknell practice field on a very cold day. Their team was much improved. Likewise, our team had also improved and had gained real confidence. In studying their defense in the first half, which ended in no score, we noticed their left end and tackle were far out of position when we were in an unbalanced line left on 7 the offense. Mose Quinn set up a special play formation between halves, drawing both guards on a reverse. We used the play twice and scored two touchdowns. We had two fast halfbacks and they carried the mail. The final score was 14-0 L.H.S. The team had come far. They knew the game and disciplined themselves. I will not name the players, but our center did his job well, along with two guards to make the play work. All the players had filled their assignments. Finally, l have a kind of last word. Coaches John Stahl and Mose Quinn, as well as some of the players, are no longer with us. To the last man, they were a great group of kids. When you look at each one in the picture, you can bet they had what it took to make a good team. L.H.S. got a full time physical education program the next year, and a better football program was in the making. We had a lot of fun on a shoe string sort of opportunity.
