The 1944 football season was judged very successful by Coach Bruce Blevins, for his Redskin squad fought a highly- favored Angeles team to a 13-13 dead- lock in the final game of the season. The Howser Inspirational Award was given to Jack Shortley, a regular versa- tile lineman playing tackle, and some- times guard, with his right arm taped to his side. At the annual football banquet Don Brecht was elected captain of the 1945 football team, with Dick Gastfield, cap- tain of the 1944 team, graduating. Don Brecht, a guard, starred all season with his famous Guard Around play, which netted yardage when it was most needed. Several Townsend players were chos- en for the All-Peninsula Team. These were: Brecht, guardg Luck, centerg Shortley, tackleg Gastfield and Morris, backs. 44 34 D7
