M1 .M ,-, vi' 'fl' ' Av' ason proved to be one of the most interesting of re- . years, with four lettermen reporting in a squad of eighteen at the opening of the season. These were: Captain James Miracle, center: Jay Lehman, forwardg Jack X Plank, guard, and Johnny Montgomery, guard. The other boys winning their awards X for the first time this season were: Bob Graf, forwardg Gene McKelvey, forward: and QQ, Bill Huffman, guard and center. The record of seven wins and five losses in league play, while not good, still had much merit. The team was always a threat for the N' I' best in the league. From the standpoint of sportsmanship, scrap, and first half play, they were XX tops for me. There were but few exceptions when Creston didn't have the superior team the first half, running up a nice advantage or breaking even with the strongest Hex-e's a word from opposition. However, the game didn't stop here and local fans found their hearts the coach. Read it! between their teeth for most of the second half of practically every game. The most disappointing game of the season was the Chester affair and the most thrilling was the Fredericksburg game which we thought we had won, only to have it decided in their favor during the overtime. Oh, well! It was a lot of work and play for all of us and I only hope everyone get as much ' good from it as I did. BASEBALL GREETINGS The success of this year's baseball team will depend upon the effectiveness of our pitching and catching, as '75 percent of the defense relies on these positions. With the heaviest schedule in many years this makes quite a problem. Six lettermen were includ-ed in a squad of nineteen which reported for baseball. They were: Jim Miracle, third base: Jay Lehman, shortstop: Johnny Montgomery, first base: Jack Plank, outfield: Bill Huffman, pitcher, infield: and Basil Perry, catcher. . Observations made of the games last fall indicate that there will be plenty of competition for some of the positions. Those who reported for the squad that played some in the games last fall are: Donald Keltz, catcher, Paul Meyer, Jack Allen, out- fielders, and Art Repp, utility man. CLINTON GATTSHALL.
