FOOTBALL Although it won none of its games, Paxton executed some of the “surprises” of the 1944 football season. Coach Evans’ boys were the only team to score on Rantoul, the Wauseca League champions. Even though the final score, 37-7, indicated only one Paxton tally, Paxton threatened on three other occasions. The annual battle at Gibson on Armistice Day was the hardest fought game of the year, with Drummer barely managing to eke out a 6-0 victory on an intercepted pass. This year’s lettermen were Vince Graham, Bud Merrimac, Howie Rhodes, Don Wheeler, Gene Allen, John Doty, Don Anderson, Harold Ingold, Bill Harrington, Aaron Rasmussen, Eddie Dickey, Carl Martin, Neil Piper, Warren Gustafson, Lee Carlson, Jack Kenney, and Charlie Sandstedt.
