The varsity football squad of 1945 started early in September practicing for what turned out to be one of the most successful seasons Milford has had since 1941. The members of the squad were enthusiastic be- cause their former coach returned from the service as a lieutenant in the army of the United States. Practices were attended regularly by all the members and many nights of hard work were spent in getting a winning team ready to meet seasoned squads from surrounding schools. All games played last year were hard and clean fought from beginning to end. The last and highlighted game of the year was fought on the Milford grid. Thanksgiv- ing Day. A throng of over five hundred people attended the game, some having to stand. All eyes were on the twenty-two men fighting it out with all their strength and ingenuity on the playing field. Coach Bernard Briggs At the end of the first half a score of 7-0 prevailed. Both teams retired to their respec- tive dressing rooms where words of en- couragement were given by the two coaches. A new spark of courage and de- termination developed in both teams and at the end of the third quarter Milford had just fallen short of another score by inches. Dover took over the ball and kicked out of bounds on the Milford 30. A fumble by Mil- ford on their own 26 yard line gave the Dover team the chance they had been wait- ing for all afternoon. The Milford line held true, stopping the next array of neatly executed plays and as a result Dover lost the ball on a fourth down. With only seconds remaining Milford tried numerous short and long passes, but none of these were completed. Time ended one of the most exciting and superbly played games in Milford High history.

The 1946 boys' varsity basketball squad consists of eight boys who are high spirited, clean, and who have the determination to win against highly superior competition. Although the boys have only won one game thus far, they have shown good quali- ties in sportsmanship and the ability to work together as a team. Even in the face of the bitterest disap- piontments these boys have shown the qualities of true sportsmen and have stuck together always, winning the admiration and respect of all their fellow classmates. JAY VEE'S The boys jay vee basketball squad, con- sisting mainly of eighth and ninth graders, started off their season successfully with the defeat of Seaford 27-14. These boys who are to become the future varsity teams at Milford are showing, as those like them in the past, qualities of good sportsmanship and cooperation as a team. Never let it be said, however, that size determines one's courage or abilities. These smaller athletes have the same enthusiasm, vigor, and spirit that characterizes the best of teams. One notices, too, that in their practices there is an eagerness to learn and improve. It is to this group of boys that we look for our future teams and the prospects of being in first place on the basketball floor.
