Potentially, the Blue clad natators were a Class :X championship team. 1n each meet, they ran neck and neck with their adversaries until the final two events, these were the two relays. There was a sufficient supply of individual event stars hut Coach Beelwe was at a loss when it came to the jolm of forming relay teams. The oflicial season can hardly he called a successful one since the team dropped six of eight meets, tied one, and won the other, but the material was there when the playotls were held. With llelton Ussman, once defeated lvackstroker and 1Yasyl Namenanik, 100 yard free-stylist, taking Hrst places, and with Dean Klein, hrawny long distance swimmer, taking second place hy a hair, the 150 yard medley-relay team, consisting of l'K1'2lllli Najuch, Ossnian, and Namenanik, took home the bacon in a lopsided race, and the North Siders ended up placing second. Regardless of the results of the regular season, the student hody gives great acclaim to Prince Beehe lor his patient, diligent coaching which finally won the jacks second place in the playotls. ll.-XSKl+I'l'l5.-Xl.l.

N. lf. ceiling 0 ln the year of lfifslm George Vetter was made flight eommaiuler of the North 'l'ona- wanda foothall teams and during this regime the log hook shows three ehampionships and one eo-championship. At the opening of the 1940 season, the airpoekets of all coaches, graduation, had made the ranks of veterans very slim. However, the followers of the Red and Blue journeyed to the power city to see the opener. After the smoke of the hattle had cleared it was found the lumherjacks had opened their season with a crushing victory over their power city rival. Highlight of the game was the uncovering of three sophomore hacks who gave promise of giving future opponents plenty of trouhle. Pilots Siezega, Stec, Nehelecky, with the help of senior pilots Geser and Uelkers rolled up 20 hrst downs to l-l for the lfalls and propelled the hall for a total of 363 yards while their opponents gained ll 2. The entire forward wall gave notiee that future opponents were headed for air poekets and tailspins when attempting to crash the 'lf line. Thus the l.umher jacks started the season with a hang -that was destined to end with a hang-hang against 'l'onawanda seven weeks later. N. 'l'. IX hours f l.ockport l3 hours Une week later the Wearers of the Red and Blue again proved that they were champ- ionship calihre when l,ockport was turned hack lfl-lfl. ln this hattle exceptional defense maneuvers kept the Vettermen in control. Twice during the game the l.ock city hoys threatened hut were forced to land and remain on the 2 yard line heeause of the llerculean efforts of XYiedman, Pendleton, lVosinski and Schoenfeldt, flanked hy wingmen Pacini and Bowden. As a result of this encounter, N. 'l'. now hoasts a record of hut one loss in 34 games. N. 'lf 6 hours Kenmore 6 hours Kenmore, now tied with N. 'l'. for the league leadership, hrought her aerial squadron to the Payne Avenue stadium for the grand opening under the lights. 'llhe -lacks were never outplayed but had hreaks eoming in the wrong places put N. 'lf on the defense. ln the final minute of play the Kenmorites came from hehind and on a reverse pass tossed an aerial that was hearthreaking to the N. ill. rooters. 20
