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

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.
