tacklers ln northeast Iowa. Left guard was played by Don Hartman, a new man to the squad, only a sophomore. In on every play, he was one of the tough- est. At center was Albert 'Stub' Reeves. His size helped to bolster up the middle of the line and he improved considerably as the season progressed. Jack Kenna played a good game at the center spot in the early part of the season. Al Eberhart, not spectacular but always on the spot and full of pep played right guard. As the season wore on, Charles Less took over the right guard position part of the time. His size made him a good defensive man. Right tackle was handled by Bob Peterson. His type of play was not spec- tacular, but his absence would leave a large gap in the line. At right end was Bob McIntosh, another sophomore, who played some of the time in the back field. Bob was a very good tackler and a menacing pass catcher. Dean Young handled this spot some of the time. Another sophomore, he was a good pass receiver and defensive man. The backfleld, like the line, was not particularly large, but was very fast. At quarterback was Virgil Corll, an excellent blocker. At right halfback was David Arnold. He played the blocking halfback position, but was a ball carrier on some plays. Slow on pickup, he was hard to stop once he was under way. Left halfback was played by Tom Hattel, the speed mer- chant of the team. He played the running halfback position and at all times was a dangerous man because of his speed and his pass catching ability. Leading scorer of the team, his speedy trips more than once left the op- posing tacklers in the rear. At fullback was Roger Mclntosh, the one who the fullback spot, he punted, plunged, Chrystal served as student manager and conference champs. made things go.

Basketball The basketball team for the 1940-41 season was a very unpredictable quintet that at times excelled last year's fine team and at other times played very erratic basketball. A review of their record will give you an idea of the ups and downs of the season. The Manhawks were very inconsistent, never winning over five games in a row or losing over three in a row. They would go 'hot' for a few games only to go into a slump. Of their scheduled games the locals won six while losing nine, but during the entire season they won twelve, lost ten and outscored their apponents 685 to 659. Unlike the football team, the Manhawks did not do so well in conference play. In the Tri-Valley Conference they won three, lost five and finished in fifth place. In the Mid-Six Conference they finished in fourth place, winning two and losing four. Nyle Bergstrand and Roger McIntosh were placed on the Tri-Valley all-con- ference second team while Junior Rector was given honorable mention. Nyle Berge trand was placed on the Mid-Six all-conference first team, while Junior Rector was chosen on the second team and Roger McIntosh was given honorable mention. The locals annexed the Delaware County championship for the second consecu- tive year by winning their four games with ease. In winning the tournament the Manhawks displayed their best form of the season, both offensively and defensive ly. In the sectional tournament, held on the home court, the Manhewke were seeded first and were the heavy favorite. After winning their first two games, in which they were decidedly off form, the Manhawks were upset in the final game by the margin of two points.
