Chrystal in front IPQCL L-EAL L This season Coach Cole started out with what appeared to be just an average squad and built one of the best teams in the history of Manchester High School. Aside from being a fine football team, they were also a credit to the school with their conduct and good sportsmanship. With an impressive record of five victories and no defeats, the local team annexed the Trl-Valley Conference championship for the first time since 1925. Of the seven tough games in their schedule, the Manhawks won five, tied one, and lost only one, which is the best record a Manchester team has had for many years. In the newly organized Mid-Six Conference, Manchester won one, tied one, and lost one--their only loss of the season. Combining a powerful running attack, a very effective passing attack and a stubborn defense the Manhawks scored 77 points to their opponent's 49. Undoubtedly they would have had a higher offensive total had they been able to play the last game with Independence. Aside from the laurels the team won, many individuals also won honors Nyle Bergstrand, Tom Hattel, Roger McIntosh and Carl Decklar were placed on the Trl-Vally all-conference first team while Al Eberhart and Virgil Corll were chosen for the second team. Nyle Bergstrand, Carl Dscklar, Roger McIntosh and Al Eberhart were also honored on the Iowa Daily Press Assoc1at1on's all-state honorable mention list. At the end of the season Nyle Bergstrand was elected as honorary captain of the 1940 Manhawks by the members of the squad. The line of the conference champions was not especially heavy, but what it lacked in size it made up in speed and scrap. At left end was Nyle Bergstrand, a good, steady,defens1ve player and a very good pass catcher. At left tackle was Carl Decklar, without a doubt one of the most vicious
