Football eo-captains for the 1940 seas Marvin and Mel Wukotich, are s here in the HS . hown ALEM HIGH'S fighting Quakers, hounded by bad breaks, came through the 1940 football season with a record of four wins, three losses, and three ties. Led by Marvin Buster,' Wukotich who tallied 77 points during the sewa- son, the Quakers, coached by Carl F. Schroeder, were feared by their opponents, although they were a low scoring team. The record indicated an average season, but it wasn't as bad as one might think. The first tussle was with Sebring. Entering the game with a cocky air, the Quakers were surprised when the game ended in a 6-6 deadlock. A touchdown pass plus the extra point downed Ravenna, 7-6. The last quarter jinx beat the Quakers for the fourth consecutive year as they lost to East V A R -I' Y Liverpool in the Potters last period rally, 21-13. Playing a listless brand of ball, the Red and Black downed Struthers, 14-7. In Wellsville the following week, the Quakers scored early and edged the Tigers, 6-0. The locals ran wild against Lisbon, 31-7. The Dover game, played in a downpour of rain, ended in a 7-7 tie. Smashing through the Quakers with ap- parent ease, the Barberton Magics chalked up a 26-6 win over the local lads. The South game was nearly won, but a touchdown pass in the last two minutes plus the addition of the extra point, gave the South boys a 7-7 deadlock.
