Basketball The 1935-36 basketball season, considered from the games won and lost standpoint, was quite unsuccessful. Our lack of success was not completely due to the inability of the team. Traveling seventy-five miles to play a game tires the team out considerably. During the season the squad travelled a total of some 1,800 miles. Playing on a strange floor on which only a ten minute practice is allowed is also disheartening to the players. As far as genuine sport and enjoyment received from participation in the game, the season was entirely successful. At the beginning of the season the boys were all pepped up for a good season for they had a team of five men who were lettermen the previous year. The first game, which was a win over Reed City, strengthened the hope of a successful season. Defeats by Lake City, Big Rapids, Traverse City, Alpena and Petoskey, disheartened the squad somewhat but they never stopped playing their hardest. A win over Evart bolstered up the spirit of the squad, but further defeats at the hands of the Ludington, Manistee, Petoskey, Manistee, Traverse City, Mount Pleasant and Ludington cagers left the Cadillac Vikings at the bottom of the Big Six Conference race. However, it can be said that this team, of beaten but never broken basketball players, was never met lightly on the basketball court. Every other team that played them was forced to play the best game it was capable of playing in order to come out with even a three or four point lead. It can be said also that even though the Vikings were beaten in almost every encounter only once were they very heavily outscored. That defeat was by the Champion Ludington Orioles.

Football The Vikings football squad enjoyed a favorable season. About seventy candidates reported for practice September 3. Seven veterans, supplemented by eight reserves of last season, formed the nucleus of the varsity squad. This squad was the lightest in the history of C. H. S. Working hard to overcome the handicap of lack of weight, the Vikings set sail for a conference championship. Playing defensive ball the Vikings played Mt. Pleasant anad Lake City to scoreless ties. Opening Conference play at Ludington, in a dedication game, the Vikings whipped the 1934 champs 7-0. Continuing their victorous voyage the gallant crew of the good ship Viking defeated their arch-rivals, the Trojans of Traverse City, 24-12. Reaching their peak against the Chippewas of Manistee the varsity swamped them, 39-0. In the following game old man injuries overtook the Vikings and they suffered the only conference defeat at the hands of Pe-toskey, 6-13. Slipping, the Vikings lost to Fremont, 7-26. Winding up the season at Big Rapids the Vikings suffered the third defeat, 0-27. Throughout the season Cadillac was noted for its fast charging line and great defensive play. After the last game, Wayne Falan was elected honorary captain for the past season.
