Elmer Benson. 205-pound fullback, and Chuck King were the two starters who were injured early in the season. The following seventeen boys won major letters: Bob Scott—Senior halfback and captain: one of the best there was in the league. ''Scooter'' was the chief-gun in the Sandwich attack and the throwing half of the Scott-to-Hutchinson combination. Pete Hutchinson—Senior end and the team’s Don Hutson,” one of the best ends in many years. Charles Walker-—-Another senior on the team who played fullback. What Charlie lacked in weight he made up in fight and determination. Franklin Barker—200-pound junior tackle—one of the finest in the conference. Fred Bowker—Junior halfback. This is Fred’s first year of football. Jerry Jaffe—Next year's football captain: versatile player who played quarterback, fullback. and guard: one of the finest guards in the league. Dick Cain—Another Cain earns his letter. Dick, taking up his brother's duties, played quarterback. Richard Fischer— Fish was an exceptionally fine defensive end and will be around next year to worry opposing runners. Chuck King—A freshman who made good with a bang. Chuck had a steady job at halfback until he was injured in the first Plano game. Richard Wagner—The other junior tackle. He alternated with Fitzpatrrick at the left tackle position. Howard Lundy—Hard charging senior left guard. Gene Whitfield—A surprise package in the form of a good guard. Warren Greenwood—One of the ten juniors who won letters. Greenie was a fine pass-catching end. Red Johnson—Fiery red-headed center. He will probably be playing for Uncle Sam next year. Leon Gould—Happy-go-lucky sophomore guard. With the experience acquired Leon should be very hard to run over next year. Wayne Fitzpatrick—A freshman who had the stuff to win a letter at the tackle shot. Ed Duvick—A reserve junior tackle who will see a lot of action next year. Fourteen of these boys, who won letters, are underclassmen who will help build the team of 45.” 22 The 194 5 Reflector

Scott leading the attack with fourteen points. From there on Sandwich won six games and lost eighteen. The record doesn't show the ability of the team, however, since they defeated Waterman, 35 to 31. and Waterman took record place in the Little Ten Tournament. Sandwich defeated Yorkville. Mendota. Plano. Waterman. Serena, and Rollo, while losing to Newark. Plano, Earlville. Hinckly, Yorkville. Somonauk. De Kalb. Shabbona. Leland. Mooseheart. Paw Paw. Marmion. Morris and Ottawa.

Greenwood 166 points. Herman 91. Lewis 75. and Ropp 50. Of the first team squad three were seniors, five were juniors and three were sophomores. This shows good prospects for next season. Lewis. Scott. Barker. W. Greenwood. Flavin. Herman. Ropp and Benson won major letters. Elmer Benson really showed the fighting spirit when he came out after recovering from his football injury and played enough in nine games to win his letter. 24 The 194 5 Refteclor
