C T The Noblesville School hard-charging .ootball team had a very successful season during l940, being victorious in six games, tying two and losing only two games. This victorious season was made possible by the cooperation of the boys with Coach Dale Swanson's plan of attack. The boys this year seemed to have that willing- ness to win. After getting off to a slow start, the liioys began clicking and tied Cathedral, lndianapolis champions for l940. Then having the usual let down after oi game like this, they found their stride and were off again. During this time they beat their old rival, Sheridan, in a thrilling bat- tle. A record crowd of 3,000 witnessed this game. Then they met 'Westfield on Westfield.'s own muddy field and beat them to become Hamilton County Champs for l940. There were five Noblesville players on the All-County team. They were Bob Wood, Bill Carr, Bill Burger, Bob Good- win, and Herbert McKinsey. Those receiv- ing honorable mention were Dick Kinder and Baleigh lrlammond. The Millers gained 223i yards to their opponents 2373 yards. Noblesville made a total of 75 first downs while opponents made 89 first fiovv Une llelt tai rigltil lfiflliert Mr:- Efinsey, Ben lldwards, Billy Burger, Toni fjl'tilfltlfII't, Bill Zinn, lvlerrill lNoo'l ward, Fred Vlyarit B 31 Goodwin T 1 Srnall, Bch Wood.

All these figures indicate that on paper the lvliliers should not have Won so many games. The fact is the Millers actually were smart, taking advantage of every break, aggressive, courageous, and had deter- mination to win. They were a dangerous ball club after they reached the opponents 40 yard line. Their success might be summed up in two words, Blocking and lntelligence. The 1940 eleven had no individual stars. They were small and out-weighed in every game but one. One of the greatest plays ever e.recu.- ed on loseph Field was rnade by the l9-l0 Millers, lt was in the Sheridan game, im- mediately after Sheridan had scored and taken a 7 to 0 lead. Miller fans were dis- couraged and it looked like the old Sheri- dan jinx once again had struck a knock- out blow. Then on the kickoff, the bali was taken on the l0 yard line, and behind an amazing and perfect demonstration of blocking which had every Sheridan play- er off his feet, Herbert McKinsey ran 90 yards for a touchdown. Coach Swanson was called for mili- tary duty and was given an indefinite leave, during which time Elmer Hampton will coach. .Lx
