ANDERSON WYMAN ANDKKSCH MILLER WAY GANZER SPAIN Hockey ALTHOUGH East finally annexed a new hockey rink at Van Cleve Park, changeable weather made practice upon it impossible until a week before the season commenced. West and Central defeated us in our first two games. The team, however, found its stride in the next game and beat North. When we again met West a terrible struggle ensued. The score stood 2 to 1 in favor of East until the last minute of play, when West again tallied. It took two extra periods to determine the winner, West finally winning 3 to 2. Meeting Central and North the second time, East lost to Central but forced North to take a second defeat. An even break resulted in the two out-of-town games. Although East lost to Saint Paul Central, they defeated the strong Saint Thomas aggregation by a 1 to 0 score. In this game. Spain made a pretty goal in an extra period of play. Captain Way at cover point and Anderson at goal did brilliant work throughout the season. Their playing will be missed next year, but with four veterans and some promising second string men East should be well represented. Fourteen

The Athletic Field IN 1IM2 the City Council voted $ 14.500 for Hast High's athletic field. This money was set aside and no further action was taken until in the Spring of 1013 when Alderman Chase found a suitable site. The Student Council, led by Huey petitioned for this land. As a result, the land was purchased for the sum of $11,750, leaving a balance of .$2,250 for buying more land. The land purchased consists of the whole block between Como and Talmage, and 10th and 11th Avenues. South East, and a third of the adjoining block to the 11th Avenue side. This territory affords plenty of room for baseball, football, track, and tennis grounds. No improvements have been made on the grounds as yet but they are in good condition for football and baseball. We are publishing herewith a sketch of the field as we hope to see it some day. Thirteen

Our Coach EAST High was determined to get a “real” coach. Several applicants, among whom was a certain Mr. Batchelder, were considered. It did not take many interviews for Batchelder to assure the Board of Education that he was the right man for the place. Events this year have p r o v e d his choice to have been a very fortunate one for East. He has aroused a new enthusiasm in the school; he has built up a fighting football team; and In has made a decided financial success. What more could you wish of a coach? How did he do it? This may easily be answered. Ilis wholehearted enthusiasm, his faith in the school and the team, his bulldog courage and his ability to handle boys, have all been important factors in his work. In Mr. Batchelder. East has found the man the school athletics needed. Undoubtedly the spirit evidenced by this season's football team, existed in the school previous to his coming, but it took a man of his calibre to arouse this spirit to the pitch necessary to make an enthusiastic school and a fighting football team.
