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.

The 1945 basketball season ended with the Redskins winning 12 and losing 10 regular season games. The Port Townsend Redskins won sec- ond place in the Peninsula Tournament, winning from Forks 32-31 in the first game, and losing to Angeles 20-23 in the championship game. The squad consisted of Siebenbaum and Gastfield, guards, LaVera, centerg Kidd and Meyers, forwards. Bud Mor- ris, who entered the Service, was absent from Tournament play. The second team showed exceptional ability in winning most of their games. The players were Brecht and Blevins, guardsg Swietzer, centerg Wise and Lindley, forwards. T h i s combination, all underclassmen, should be hard to beat in the two years to come. K 36 D
