fron? oed in ecwg Cgzltealud l Hyrle Ivy began to help Bob Dornte and the lineup was shutiled, the Reds began to roll. The Northmen wound up the season with a surge of power, downing the city foes in rapid fire order. The Midtown Cats were the first to lose their scalps by a score of 14 to 15. The Mansfield-Patterson combi- nation did much in this game. The highly touted South Side Archers fell by the wayside to the tune of a 7 to 6 pasting. Finishing in grand style, the Red made it three out of three, swamping the Irish 14 to O on the particularly good work of all-city Mansfield and Senger. Earlier in the season, however, North Side was downed by Central and South Side by scores of 20 to 6 and 19 to 6, respectively. XVith Charlie Pat- terson's driving, North downed C.C. in the hrst game, 6 to 0. Bruick's splintered collar bone really hurt the Red in the Mishawaka game, which was lost by a 31 to 19 score. The Vikings from Huntington edged out the Dornte- men, 7 to 6, as a drive, sparked by Georgi, was cut short by the final gun. Climaxing the season was the awarding of letters and the electing of a Captain. Eighteen boys were awarded the coveted N's and Max Georgi was given the honorary captaincy. Reviewing the gridiron season as a whole, even with its ups and downs, the Redskins showed the characteristics of the spirit portrayed by all North Side athletic teams.

,4- -ee' 1 3 Mr. Hyrle Ivy, left, assistant coach, and Mr. Robert Dornte, right, coach, trained the Redskin braves for gridiron battles. 118 pea! gricliron arriorfi gigb North Side's Gridiron squad started the 1945 season with seven letter- men from the previous yearis team and a world of hopes. Nearly fifty huskies turned out for the bruising sport and began their drills on the warmish August mornings under the watchful eyes of Coach Bob Dornte. Max Georgi and Bob Hatfield found themselves moved to guard and end, respectively, from the backfield positions they held the year before, while the other line positions were being settled by Eldon Doehrman, Tom W'oods, Dick Galli, Don Mans- field, Sherm Senger, Don Munger, and later Bill Steele. Charlie Patterson and Ned Jackson were back at their familiar positions of right halfback and full- back and juniors Norb Cowan and Phil Gutman were fitted into the left halfback and quarterback slots. Lack of reserve strength was a constant bugaboo to Coach Dornte as could be seen in many of the harder fought games. The grid contest between Elkhart and North was close the first half, the Dorntemen trailing by a 14 to 13 score, but the reserve power of the Blazers ran it to a 35 to 13 final score, Again the South Bend Riley team was given a run for its money in the first quarter when Northls right end scored on a sleeper. XVithout the help of re- serves, however, the Redskins were unable to maintain the fast pace against the state's second best. As the season progressed, jack Treesh, Ben Alwnrd, John Kochert, and Jim Leaman began turning in some fine pieces of relief work.

l oremorif Emulex! 0 1945-46 .gjcjua W Coach Robert Dornte's foremost braves of the 1945-1946 season were the Redskin elev I1 e of the football squad. Though they lacked experience, these gridmen did their share of maintaining North's football reputation. Beginning at the right center and proceeding clockwise, are pictured the following warriors of the pigskin brigade: Ned Jackson sends the pigskin off that well-known right foot. Herb Bruiek is caught releasing the ball for one of those spirals which thrill the fans. Don Mansfield displays that smile of contentment which a gridman who knows that few men will get past him is entitled to wear. The roar nearly broke the camera lens before Dick Galli settled down. He seems ready to take on the whole line of any team. if f Tom Woods, second in top string on second page, is ready right down ff to clenched fist to give the baekneld time to set its offensive in action. Eldon Doehrman's clenched Est is rather conspicuous but he is ready to match skulls with any invader. Bob Hatfield strains his eyes searching for a man to carry his pass into the pay dirt. Straining seems to be a requirement for footballfjudging from the expres- N sion on Norb Cowan's face as he gets ready to snatch the ball. yi Giving the cameraman as much of a break as he gives the women, Don Munger keeps quiet long enough to give us a good picture. Bruick again-this pose was too good to be left out! A 52 bf N0 Charlie Patterson, hands out-stretched, is waiting for the ball so he can show the opponents what speed on a gridiron really is. Max Georgi, hands on knees and red hair glinting in the sun, waits to mangle the foeg he has red hair for something! 'A r vi ?w' Avi J 1 x,,..k 4.. !- qw MM
