Paxton’s 1943 football season was featured by many ups and downs—instances of great playing ability, then moments of despair. Coach Miller, starting with a very inexperienced team, succeeded in overcoming numerous handicaps throughout the year. In the Wauseca League, we won two games, tied one, and lost five. Those who played their last year for Paxton were “Rones” Ogle, “Oz” Purn, Fred Whitcomb, Bill Smith, Bob Kenner, Bud Turner, Bob Trager, and James Rotramel. The season’s record: Paxton 7...............Drummer 21 Paxton 7...............Milford 6 Paxton 0...............Gilman C Paxton 7...............Rantoul 19 Paxton 7...............Watseka 33 Paxton 0...............Onarga 20 Paxton 20...............Rantoul 19 Paxton 14...............Drummer 26
