May 20, 1942 Due to gas and tire rationing, Nesquehoning school athletic authorities meet and then decide to drop baseball for the rest of the season. Principal Gordon Ulshafer announces the Nesquers want to continue playing games but find it near impossible as Mauch Chunk cancelled both its games with Nesquehoning. The squad, coached by Bill Griffith, also couldn't get transportation to go to St. Clair.
