FOOTBALL With Coach Wilbur Evans at the helm, Roxana's Shells forged their best record ever—four wins, four losses. This .500 average represents the highest mark ever achieved by an R. C. H. S. football squad. Steady improvement during the season was climaxed by the decisive win over Dupo, 33 to 7. There were slumps but this '43 team was the best yet turned out and if this steady upward climb continues, Roxana will have athletic renown in another sport besides track and basketball. The season began with a 13-7 win over Madison which was a nice beginning but it was quickly followed by three straight losses. Western took the Shells' measure 26-0, which Principia followed with a 20-0 shellacking. A trip to Belleville proved disastrous as Cathedral won 25-6. Finally victory came as Highland went down 25-13. After Marquette won 31-6 from the Shells on a rain-swept field, Highland was again tramped this time 25-0. The season ended with the Dupo victory. ★ First Row (loft to right): Bob Cox. Eugene Steffen. Allen McVey, Kenneth Longman. Don Luketich, Carl Arnold. Tommy Frey, Albert Green. Glen Boon.

FOOTBALL Don Luketich: Captained the Shells, played right halt. Besides his triple threat specialties, his masterful generalship was shown in many spots during the year. Eugene Steffen: An aggressive tackle, improved as the year wore on. Many off tackle smashes were started but soon stopped by Lefty, a senior whose loss will be felt. Glen Bean: A sophomore with promise and lots of fight when he forgets his easy going ways. Harry Gallatin: 'Tiny'' was the most improved member of the squad when the season was over. He led many plays through center good for several yards. Lyle Dona: Little bow legs never let size be a handicap. We could use more boys with the same spirit. Mutt Longman: Handicapped a great deal by injuries, he was a good halfback but couldn't seem to break loose. Don Stone: Stoney, the pride of Pittsfield, entered Rox- ana High School for his senior year and made himself known by his hard driving and constant striving to do better. Harold Barker: A junior end that was always on the job—he will make a grand player for the gold and blue next year.
