Track • • • • Although the Lutheran thinclads last year, in their first season of competition since the sport was revived at Wit- tenberg, made a creditable record, they are faced with stronger opposition in the meets scheduled this spring. Though likely to prove strong in field events, the team is not sufficiently well balanced on the track to arouse hopes of greater success. Rofzel, Dickerhoof, Graham, Weaver, and Powell are 1935 lettermen on the team. Squad members and their events: BURDETTE POWELL—440, mile relay,- DICK ROTZEL—high jump, pole vault, broad jump,- JOHN WEAVER —high jump, high hurdles,- FRED DEY—mile, two mile,- GILBERT DICKERHOOF—100, 220, low hurdles,- WILLIAM HOLLOWAY—pole vault, broad jump,- RICHARD PETERS—shot put, discus,- DUD GRAHAM—shot put, discus, mile relay,- WILLIAM CRAMER—100, 220,- JERRY FISHER—half mile, mile relay; JAMES BALDWIN—mile, two mile.

Baseball Ridding themselves this year of a reputation for inability to hit their weight, the Lutheran diamond men seem to have developed an offensive power which may make them contenders for the Conference championship. Addition to the lineup of such consistent hitters as Moran, Norman, and Kissell, plus the renewed batting vigor of lettermen Florence, Wilhelm, and Donahue, apparently has rounded out the Lutheran attack. In practice sessions, Scotty Florence has given indications of another successful season on the mound, with Alex Popicg as relief pitcher. Coach Stobbs has placed his squad members in these positions: JACK KOCH, catcher,- JERRY DONAHUE, first base,- JERRY KISSELL, second base, ANDY MORAN, shortstop, PAUL NORMAN, third base, JAY ZELLAR, outfield, LEN WILHELM, outfield. WILLIS BAUGHMAN outfield, WENDELL WATTS, outfield, JAMES GARVER, first base, ALFRED FLORENCE, ALEX POPICG, pitchers SCHEDULE April 21—OTTERBEIN—there April 25—MARIETTA—here April 28—DENISON—here May 1—MUSKINGUM—here May 5—OBERLIN—there May 7—OHIO WESLEY AN—here May 12—DENISON—here May 1 5—OTTERBEIN—here May 19—OHIO WESLEYAN—there May 21—DAYTON—there May 25—DAYTON—here May 28—MUSKINGUM—there June 6—ALUMNI—here Tennis With only lettermen Jerry Whitnack and Sid Kalmanowifz to use as a nucleus, Coach George Fouch found thre? such talented newcomers in Stan Husted, Carol Sundberg, and John Church that his first year as mentor of the Witten- berg net team seems destined to be marked with an unusually good record. Husted, Sundberg, and Church started the season in one, two, three singles positions respectively, and the Husted-Sundberg and Church-Whitnack doubles com- binations appeared formidable. Other squad members likely to take the court are Abbott Wolslagel, Joe Work, Harold Miller, and Edward Stroebel.

The Wittenberger Weaver, editor Gilmore. busine » iiumai-cr Perennially announcing its publication time as the second week in May, then advancing it progressively to the third and fourth weeks, and finally showing up just before Commencement, the Wittenberger probably sets more meaningless deadlines than any other student issue. Its first appearance on the campus is lost in antiquity, but the book got its start as a monthly magazine in the 80s or 90s. Its issues were bound into a volume at the end of the school year. The date of the Wittenberger’s metamor- phosis into a yearbook is likewise unknown, but it seems safe to say it was a change for the better. Somewhat of an orphan publication, the Wittenberger has neither student subscription, os has the Torch, nor freedom from faculty supervision, as has the Witt. Its financial success thus is usually hazardous, a situa- tion which is not popular with the junior class members who assume financial responsibility for it. The 1936 Wittenberger has attempted to strengthen both financial and editorial weak- nesses of recent years by reducing expenses, by increasing cir- culation to approximately 550, by using a seasonal theme and arrangement, and by introducing three colors in the printing. Informal photography is another innovation in the book. Page One Hundred Forly-eighl
