J. V. FOCDTBALL Just as basketball has a reserve squad to prepare players for future varsities, so does football have a junior varsity. This team has been unheralded in the halls of Salem High and has failed to get the credit due it and its coach, Theodore Jones. The team had no regular schedule this past year, often playing games arranged only the day before. They emerged from their ten tussels with a record of four wins and six losses. In their opener they were defeated by Struthers, 14-'J. Fol- lowing this defeat they lost two more, to Boardman, 7-O, and East Palestine, 13-7. The J. V's. broke their string of losses by winning over McDonald, 14-O. Camp- bell Memorial handed the locals their fourth defeat by a count of 20-0, but the Quakers snapped out of it long enough to plaster East Liverpool, 20-0. Their next battle found them again in the throes of defeat as they were topped by Leetonia, 13-6, but the home team avenged this beating by administering a 13-7 defeat to the same Leetonia team in a return game. East Palestine was then defeated in a return tussel and the locals wound up the season lozing to Alliance, 21-7. This game produced a high spot of the season as John Hart ran back a kick- off 80 yards to score Salem's only touchlown of the battle. Ralph Davis, a flash back, ripped off a 63-yard run-back on an intercepted pass in the East Liverpool clash, in another of the season's high spots. Davis and Bob Sell, a guard, showed promise during the year and may be moved up to the varsity next year. Frank Entriken took over the punting duties of the squad, and al- though he is only a freshman, his team mates are predictinga good football career for him. Coach Jones is of the opinion that the objective of the team has been ac- Eomplished this year, but whether he is right or not depends on the varsities of the uture. First row: Schuster, Oana, Johnson, Sell, Greene, Wise, K:pka, Kleon. Second row: Mr. Jones, Bingham, Evans, Bccler. Myers, Pasco, Charnesky. Third row: Quinn, Hact, Krauss, Moore, Dunlap, Entriken.

In the annual Turkey Day battle with the Alliance Aviators, the Quakers were conquered, 34-0, in a game closer than score indicates. Wukotich was supported ably throughout the season by brother Mel, who played a bang-up game, George Baillie, versatile signal barker, Ward Zeller, Bob Malloy, Carroll Greene and Bob Umberger, all of Whom will graduate in June. The other linemen who saw a great deal of service are Pinky King, Felix Di Antonio, Bob Ruffing, Phil Cozad and Charles Juliano. These men, along with Johnny Volio, Carmen Nocera, and Jim Nocera, all backs, will form the nucleus of what ought to be a good '41 football team. The seven boys who will graduate in June O O T B A L I- will be sadly missed when next year's practice sessions roll around. Buster and Mel Wukotich, George Baillie and Carroll Greene made the All-County team While Buster was chosen fullback of the second All-Ohio squad. And so ends the football record of 1940.

CROSS COUNTRY R. B. Clarke, serving his eleventh year as coach of the cross country squad, has had some brilliant teams in that span of time, but in the last few years his teams have been poor due to lack of material. This year there Was but one returning let- terman, Art Horning. In addition to Horning, those on the team were Frank Quinn, Lee Boone, Bill Shoop, Harry Beck, Gail Bartchy, John Dan and Ed Banar. The squad staged du-al meets with Warren and Younstown Rayen but failed to win either of them. In the district meet, the team placed fourth in a field of eleven teams. Quinn looked like a very fine future prospect as he finished fourteenth place. Horning next for Salem, finished twenty-second. Clarke bemoans the fact that five of the eight runners will graduate in June. They are Bartchy, Beck, Boone, Dan and Horning, but he remarked that Quinn and Shoop are two likely looking prospects for next year's squad. The poor records of the last two years are not signs that cro:s country is on the Wane in Salem High. They mean only that material has not been overabundant. If everything goes right, Salem may win another championship in the near future. First row: Rance, Bonne, Shoop, Banar, Quinn, Simion. Secund row: Bartchy, Beck, Dan, Horning, Mr. Clarke. 1311
