Basket Ball Squad Ralph Redding Floor Guard, Captain “Ike, the shifty little guard and captain of the 1920 squad, has led the team through a most victorious season. He is a consistent point getter and is always found in the thick of tile fight. This is Ike's last year on the squad and his position will be a hard one to fill. Marion Pillsburv Back Guard ‘’Pills, known by the Auburn players as the B. O. train stopper, has played in position as back guard in a most laudable manner, and he can always be depended upon for several field goals. His only weakness is Kcndallville. Much is expected of Pills next year. Carl Cramer Center “Hal, the pride of the Sophomores, has held down the pivot position on the team this season. This is his first season on the A. H. S. squad, and great things are expected of him next season. He was the star of the district meet, and was given mention at the state meet. A good humor, fair play, and a winning smile were the characteristics of his style of playing. Charles Crain Left Forward See Crain, left forward,” put the skids under the Auburn team at the district meet. He makes field goals from any position on the floor, and his ability to sink foul goals is “uncanny.” He is captain on the 1920-21 squad, and all opposers will have to look out for Chuck.” Frederick Graf Right Forward Fritz is the scrappiest man per square inch on the team. Fast on his feet and shooting with surprising accuracy, he is always where the din of battle is the loudest. Injuries received at practice nearly kept him out of the game, but recovered in time to finish the season with flying colors. He will be running mate for “Chuck” next year. Richard Pence Sub. Stonewall is the general utility man of the team. At guard or forward he plays the same old sure an 1 steady game. The first part of the season iic was a regular at forward. but after being out of the game for sc me time cn account of sickness, lie subbed at guard. Clarence Miller Sub Red subbed in seveial games this season. this being his first and last year on the team. A' iller is a member of the 1920 graduating class, but we know that in another season lie would have been regular on the team. Flcyd Lane Forward Shady was a regular on the team until late in the season, when he could not make school and basket ball mix. He was a valuable asset to the team, and his style of playing was extraordinary. Clifton Metzger Sub Hit-li subbed at several games this season. He was a steady worker, and was always present at practice. He is a member of this year's graduating class, and the team regrets that Hitch cannot be with them next year. Ralph Lampman Sub Shrimp is only a Freshman, but he gained a place on the team late in the season. 1 le played a fast, snappy game at guard, and no doubt will be able to fill the vacancy left by Captain Redding. He no doubt will be one of the few who represent A. H. S. for four years in basket ball. At both district and state meets he helped uphold the Purple and Gold honors.

A note found in Knight Whitman’s rubber : Mea carissinta amicus: Is this honestly your little rubber? Go..d bless you! 1 could tell it from undequenquaesimo different ones. If it really be so. please drop me the tiniest weentiest line to tell me so. I remain as ever. Your affectionately sweet PETUNIA. —o— A small boy of Jewish persuasion who was playing at the end of the pier, fell into the sea and was rescued only after great difficulty by an intrepid swimmer. Half an hour afterwards, much exhausted, the rescuer was walking off the pier when a man came up and tapped him on tne shoulder: 'Are you the man who saved my boy Ikey's life?” ‘lYes, answered the hero. Then. said the Hebrew in indignant tones, vere’s his cap? —o— Mrs. Taylor: Why, Pauline, what a low-conduct grade.” Pauline: ‘‘Oh. mother, don't worry, you see if I don't pass in it this year J can take it over next year.”
