Neither of these two teams had been defeated during the season of 1940. The Eagles lost this game to Italy by a score of 18 to 0. The Eagles never gave up until the whistle blew for the end of the game. There was a nice crowd that attended the game and the school was not ashamed of their boys for losing, for every one did his best. The Eagles won 9 out of 10 games.
