You had to be tough to be a football player in the 1940s. Protective equipment was minimal and the ground was hard and rocky. This was the Coudersport HS team of 1942. Left to right, the team members included:
Leonard Treat,
Jim Pfuntner,
Lewis Schaub ,
Charles Fickinger (kneeling in front),
Paul Boyd,
Walt Glassmire (captain, holding ball),
Ed Secott,
Bob Dewey and
Sam Huntington;
back- Arthur DuBois,
Coach Baker,
Dunkleberger,
Hoxie Corey,
Paul Hawkins,
Carl Roberts and
Coach Springman (partly obscured man is not identified).
We'll have another photo of this team in our 1993 Fall Sports Preview, which will be published in the Sept. 1 edition of the Leader-Enterprise. As usual, the focus will be on HS, college and professional football, as well as the local scholastic volleyball, soccer, cross country and golf teams that are preparing for the 1993 season.

Tom Roberts Jeffrey Roberts Your dad; all those years growing up next door neighbors, it never occurred to me that he might have been a great HS athlete. He’s easy to pick out of a crowd, even way back then. Looks a lot like you, Tom. JUST like you!

Thanks, John. Lots of familiar faces on the team. Louie Schaub went on to play in our college (as an end!). There’s our old HS chemistry in front, and many others. They had even worse equipment and fewer players than we did as seniors. BTW, my brother Jeff died two years ago only 65. Way too soon. Hope all is well and thanks again.
