The Columbus Bees have made an enviable record for themselves. Coached by Mr. Arthur Wolf, the Bees won twelve out of fourteen games. A fast, tricky, hard practicing team, the Bees tied with the Jordan Reds for the championship of the lea- gue and a play-off was necessary. This game was nip and tuck all the way through but at the end luck had failed the Bees and the Reds came out on the long end of the score. The Bees had as their captain Hollis Rumble while Bobby Magoni held the co-captain position. TH E COLUMBUS ORANGES The Columbus Oranges were unfortunate in having more than their share of hard luck. Although their scores of the games might not leave such a mighty impression, the scrappy team will provide many good players for next year's varsity team. The first half always seemed to have some jinx on it but the second half found this team still full of hope, determination, and twice as much fight as before. What was the pep talk the Orange's mentor, Mr. M. Z. Sterling, gave them at the halftime? This team did not choose a captain or an alternate captain. The players are Dan Cabaniss, Homer Dimon, Gus Dudley, Morton Feigen, Pat Flenniken, Steve Harris, John Holt, Jack Jones, Rosser Jones, Charles Moore, Bill Rambo, and Jack Woodall.
