Foster, Coach Paul Sc-hofer While the graduates of yesterday are wear- ing their steel helmets instead of leather ones, at their posts on the far flung battle fronts of the World, we cannot over exaggerate our longing that you, the undergraduates will be able to continue to develop your bodies through competitive sports hereg however, we hope you will not have to engage in war, as they are, but may you become a stronger and better citizen. It is our hope that the under- graduates can continue to idolize a football, basketball, or baseball, rather than a rifle and hand grenade, which have taken the place of the former pigskin, at least temporarily. Perhaps it is the spirit gained while Wearing the leather helmets in their high school days that is enabling the soldiers of today to score the huge success they are, while in the face of the enemy. ln athletics. unlike anywhere else, coordination, strength, speed. and skill can be developed to such an extent that it will be an asset to each youth who leaves high school and takes a place in life. no matter in what field of activity if' may be. XVith five seniors lost through graduation. the same number of underclassmen will be needed to fulfill these positions on next yearis football squad. To the entire team of the on- coming season, we the seniors wish the best of luck for a great deal of success. May you con- tinue to be an inspiration for those younger than you, to wage a successful gridiron cam- paign. Under head Coach Paul Schofer and assist- ant Coach Charles Foster, the 1944 Redskins raked up a season's record of five Wins and four defeats, and, in doing so, compiled a total of 168 points. thus setting a new scoring record for a Blume eleven in a similar number of games. Much of the success of the season goes to the eighteen lettermen who played the niaiority of the time. Among the letterwin- ners were the following seniors, Captain Rolly Gicrhart, Ken Urich, liud Shuster, Bob Crusie, and Dick Hitters. The remaining lettermen were underclassmen and next year's team will be molded around ffhesc boys. They were Doc Urich. lohn VVehner, Iohn Butcher, Richard Cozad. Tony Nlulholland. lim Stinebaugh, Mike Marker, Dan Miller. Patil Howard, Dan NfcKcever. XK'allie Howell. Iohn Nieter. and hob Miller.
