Let's look into the huddle at the Arcadia game. This next play led to a touchdown made by Arcadia. The 1944 Mondovl High School football team held Its first practice one week prior to the opening of school. A host of boys turned out for the opening week, and these, added to the large number reporting when school began, gave Coach George Nelson a widespread amount of undeveloped material. He then began his Job of develoolng a team. This started with a series of rigorous and tiring exercises designed to put the boys Into top-notch condition. The Buffaloes' first trial oame at Augusta, where they attempted to keep Mondovl1s undefeated record dear, but lack of experience and bad field Judgment resulted In defeat. The boys In blue then buckled down, and, In an exciting game with Aroadla, oame through In the last fifteen seconds to tie the contest. The Mondovlans1 power was now revealed In full, and the squad trounced Oseeo, Whitehall, Durand, and Blaok River Falls. A pot luck supper was held for the entire squad and their fathers or friends. At this time, movies of two games were shown, and talks were given by co-captalne Keith Krueger, of the line, and Keith Whitworth, of the backfleld. Other players and various fathers also responded. This concluded another outstanding season. Considering the fact that there were only five returning lettermen, It Is conceded that the team had a very successful season. Tribute must be paid to both an excellent teas and Mr. Nelson, our deserving and capable coach. On the side-lines. Coach Crowd grows concerned—Mr. Keith who made the touch-and team seem worried. Nelson loses fingernails, down that tied the game. - 32
