2 ---THECRANE--1 Cure Those Friday Night Blues at the Cabin One of the school's greatest fallacies centers around the Senior Cabin. Originally, the cabin's purpose was to create a club which would acquire money for scholarships through the combined efforts of the senior class, gain- ing through this work a better feeling of friendship and cooperation. That is what the editors of the '39 BROOK wistfully envisioned. They never expected to see the year when the sixth formers would fail to gather as a group there. Yet that is exactly what happened last year. The Senior Cabin was no more of a sixth-form hangout than the headmaster's office. From that same headmaster's office this year has come encouragement for those who wish to use the cabin. The administration and Mr. I-lubie V. Davis deserve credit for organizing the three functions which already have taken place there. The Senior Cabin, recently a school shrine, is well on the way to becoming the proud meeting-place of certain groups at Cranbrook. Those unprophetic BROOK editors should be glad to hear of this.

Dave Osnos, 6- Yes, but the letter- mens' club should help us get up to date. In place of traditional C sweaters I feel that we should have cardigan letter sweaters like many other schools do. Osnos Beck Jerry Beck, 5- Yes. If the number of men in the C Club remains limited, I'm sure that it will mean more to everybody. Fred Steinmann, 5- My only objec- tion is that if a guy is good enough to make a letter, he should get in the club regardless of his form standing. Steinmann Sukenik Bob Sukenik, 5- Yes But I think they should sell hot dogs and cocoa at home games. The cheerleaders are doing a great job. Aroma AHrac'l's 45 Seniors To Cabin Hamburger Meal Boarding seniors followed their noses to a hamburg party at the senior cabin Friday evening. After tracking down the scent, 45 sixth formers began a scramble for meatballs which lasted well into the night. Fortunately, some far-sighted per- son saved two hamburgs for John Rice, chief cook and bottle-washer at the affair. Mr. Hubie Davis, now almost a cabin fixture, managed to keep the cabin walls perpendicular despite the crowd, an un- usually large one for the ground floor. Messrs. Kenny and Lawrence kept track of the football and soccer players while Mr. Bates showed up to play a few chor- uses on the cabin's excuse for a piano. Letter to the Editor To THE EDITOR: Speaking for the members of the foot- ball and soccer varsities, we thank you for your writeups concerning those sports. But one thing has been troubling us: why, oh why, devote an extra paragraph to and have a special photo of captains? Their work is no more noteworthy than the efforts of others who, we feel, have been slighted. Bob Leixter and Iolm Rice. ED. NOTE: If the others have been slight- ed, rest assured, the offense was uninten- tional. Our reason for so venerating the captains is that this year we have elimi- nated the customary seasonal features on the life and times of the school's coin flippers.

THE CRANE VOLUME XXII CRANBROOK SCHOOL, OCTOBER 22, 1948 No. 5 Booters Shatter Jinx, Whitewash Reserve, 3-0 HUDSON, OI-IIO, Oct. 16.-An epoch in Interstate League history ended today when the Cranbrook soccermen over- powered Western Reserveis booters to win, 3-o. This is the first time Crane booters have conquered WRA. Playing on a field much like their own, the Lawrencemen forged ahead in the second period as John Rice and Fred Steinmann pounded two quick goals past Dick Perry, the host's netminder. Work of forwards Ken Herman, Phil Plexico and Tom Peterson as well as that of halfbacks Fred Smith, Dave Osnos and Tom Galantowicz helped to make these tallies possible. Captain Rice scored the Cranes' clincher at the beginning of the third quarter on a thrilling breakaway. In the final IS minutes of play, Reserve forwards John Nicholson and George Williams un- successfully tried to break through the sparkling Blue and Grey defense of jim Truettner, Bill Chisholm and Dick Breck. A light rain fell throughout the game, making the field somewhat slippery. How- ever, this did not seem to bother Coach Wayne Lawrence's booters, who made by far their best showing of the year.

Park, Breclc-- Wait and See, Fall Formal Best: Yet Following orders from the Cranbrook Social Committee, the Bell Telephone Company recently installed new tele- phones in the dorms. Also, switchboard operators along the line have been alerted in anticipation of the tremendous amount of phoning that will take place when the name of the band for the fall formal hits the newsstands. Head social-planner Dick Breck is not letting the secret out of the bag: he just points out that the affair is slated for Friday, November I9. The seven-man committee has sched- uled informal dances after all the Satur- day night movies. QFollowing Friday night formals, however, this policy will not be in effectj See DANCE DESIGNERS page 4 84 Targeteers Loolt Ahead To Meets, Postal Matches Turnout for the Rifle Club reached an all-time high this fall with 84 hopefuls signing up. Under an Organization similar to last year's, half of the target-smashers will shoot until January. After that, the remaining marksmen will practice for pos- tal matches and other shooting contests. Faculty coach Fred Dockstader states that the rifie team,s outlook is excellent. With a wealth of reserve firepower and all but one of June's Hearst competitors returning to the Cranbrook range, his statement seems well-founded.

.ll-1 THE CRANE --- 3 SPORT SHOTS ' wt, T Q by Dave Seeber and Toby Maxwell Flags of the Interstate Prep schools will be flown from the flagpoles in the corners of the oval at the football game tomorrow. These flags, which were a gift of the class of '48, lend an official effect to the stadium while league games are in progress. as as as Due to many broken headgears, the Blue and Gray gridmen have played their last two contests without these Army type helmets. They were sent away to be repaired and should be ready for the Nichols game tomorrow. Sk wk Pls League scores for October 16: Football-CUS 34, Shady Side 2 Soccer-CUS 1, Shady Side o Plfvkfk Dave Franks, junior varsity's brilliant halfback, deserves praise for leading the Blue and Gray reserves to one triumph and a tie in three starts. His speed and deception have fooled the opposition con- tinually and have eamed him the scoring leadership on the squad. Pls Ulf wk In Cranbrook's first triangular cross- country meet Tuesday, there were a few technical difficulties. Not the least of them was who would run and who would swim when 5o grouped runners hit the narrow lagoon bridge at the same time. However, by the time some were beaned by hailstones and others buckled under near the windward side of the sewage disposal plant, the problem was forgotten. :ls is 'lf Two hockey rinks will be in use on the sports scene at Cranbrook this year. This will relieve the strain on the coach and team members, who have had to use one overtaxed rink in the past. Balz Takes Tennis Tourney Gunther Balz bested Bob Blanchard to win the inter-squad tennis tournament Friday, 6-o, 4-6, 6-2. In the semi-finals Blanchard defeated Bill Broder while Balz overcame Harry Hatton. The tennis was not of the highest calibre due to the squad's inactivity dur- ing last week's continual rains. It was, however, a hard-fought and drawn-out battle. Mr. Arthur Palmer, jr. was on hand to ofliciate. Runners Weather Hailstorm, Cold, rainy weather always seems to dog Cranbrook harriers. Tuesday, how- ever, they defeated the Birmingham and Walled Lake runners in spite of it, 26- 37-58. Since last Friday's meet had been cancelled because of a scheduling mixup, Tuesday's triangular race was the next logical step. Both teams competed only against Cranbrook. At the whistle, about 45 boys started sprinting into the very teeth of a king- sized hailstone storm. Two miles later, Captain Toby Maxwell, Jerry Beck and Put Triangular Meet On Ice Harley Warner crossed the line to get three of the four first places. Birmingham, who was counting heavily on their team balance, was surprised to see Cranes Tony Butterfield and jack Lewis sprint in the homestretch and cinch ninth and tenth places as well as the meet. Without boasting many flashy runners, Birmingham always had beaten Cran- brook on reserve strength. However, it took only one gruelling run to tum the trick and give the local cross-countrymen what the Admiral joyously termed the victory of the year. JV Deaclloclcs Berkley, I3 -l3g Oliver, Franks Crane Scorers Battling an impressive Berkley football squad, the JV played to a 13-13 tie under cloudy oval skies Monday. A revengeful Cranbrook march in the third quarter paved the way for John Oliver to score on a pass from Dave Franks, putting the Cranes ahead, 7-6. A 40-yard end run by halfback Franks in this same quarter scored the other vital Cranbrook touch- down. The lineup was as follows: LE-Williams, L. RE-Obering LT-Macomber, P.

Grba's gridmen went down before a determined Westem Reserve squad today, 10-6. Apparently on the wrong end of the breaks, the Cranes' lone touchdown came in the third quarter when Brough scurried along the sidelines for a 5o-yard run. After taking the opening kickoff, the Blue and Grey fumbled a slippery ball. Starting a march for the goal, the Ohioans ran into an aggressive line. However, Reserve's very able center .Tack Thomas soon kicked a 12-yard field goal to put the hosts ahead. Starting slowly the second half, the visiting gridders found themselves back in the game with Brough's sprint around right end for the Cranes' only six-pointer. A see-saw battle around midfield was in progress when Ed Wilson of Reserve swept the Crane right end on a reverse to the seven-yard stripe. Three plays -later Reserve's Bill Sharp crashed over left end. The Grbamen did not get an- other drive started due to the alert play- ing and defensive tactics of the Green and White. Tomorrow morning Coach B. N. Grba's squad will face the Nichols grid- ders. The Big Green, as the New York visitors call themselves, arrive via Grey- hound bus tonight. Last year, they were beaten by the Gray and Blue to the tune of a 12-6 score. Freshmen Drop Grid Game: Hazel Park Triumphs, I9-0 Size and reserve strength spelled the difference as Hazel Park handed the Cranbrook freshmen a I9-0 grid defeat Wednesday. The Parkers, initial score came in the first quarter on a long pass. Trailing by six points at the half, the Cranes were momentarily sparked by the line-backing and running of Charles Cun- ningham. An intercepted pass and run back for 40 yards and a last-period touch- down accounted for the other points.
