Completing the last varsity season for the duration of the war, Coach Hojnacki,s gridders played two victories, one tie, and four losses. In their pre-season opener the Huskies beat a heavier Northeastern team, 12-7, but from then on the boys lost the speed and deception which they showed against the Falcons, bowing on successive week-ends to Mackenzie 19-6, Northwestern 19-0, and U. of D. High, 13-0. Then, after a 39-20 win over the Wilbur Wright Pilots, they seemed to be on the comeback trail. This was verified on the following Friday when Redford and Cooley met at U. of D. Stadium. The Huskies played their best game of the year, coming back strong in the second half after the Cards had taken a 13-0 lead at half time. Jim Aliber's pass to Jack Cole on the third play of the third period Gene Simescu, Cooley left-half, tripped up at the line in the Red- ford-Cooley game. brought the Huskies down to the Cooley 6-yard line, and Jim Aliber carried it over from there in four plays. No less than three more scoring opportunities came the Huskies' way in the last twenty minutes of play, but they could not capitalize on them and the game ended with the Cards still out in front 13-7. After this thriller the seasonis finale with the Central Trailblazers came as an anticlimax and the boys had to be satisfied with a 6-6 tie. A brighter note was heard after the pigskins were laid away and the press began to publish their All- City teams. The News and Free Press both named Jim Aliber at the fullback spot, while the Times placed Captain Marcel Charette in the first-string guard position. 26 EAMES
