After the Black and Tans/Ubangi Clubs shut down, Glen Gianini took up the reigns of the football program, fresh off the success of the 1938 softball champion "Brown Bombers", he utilized the same moniker on the new entry into the 160-pound division of the Community Football League being dominated by Issaquah.
 
Charles Winston was lost for the season due to an ankle injury against Rainier, two days later fullback Danny Allen was hit by a car suffering a serious shoulder injury.  Then, on Oct 31, the snake-bitten Bombers lost their star center 22-year old Paul Chappell who succumbed to his battle with pneumonia contracted earlier in the month.  The grieving team came out and whitewashed White Center in honor of Paul.
 
Issaquah returned four interceptions for touchdowns in a 45-0 blowout in wet conditions during the Thanksgiving game.
