Tennis Tennis has faded into the background of Eastern's sports in the last few years. Too many promising players are acting as onlookers instead of displaying their talent on the courts. How- ever, a change has taken place this season. Under the capable guidance of Coach Cohn, our team is gaining needed practice and confidence. jerry Clark, Larry Stoner, Roger Grove, Don Geahan, and the others are out to win. These fellows hope that their enthusiasm will awaken more interest in the flashing racket and bouncing ball so that Eastern in the future may once again be strong in tennis. Basketball Coach Ray Altenhof's boys placed third in the 5-A in 49. Regular season play saw Eastern lose 8 and win 6. This year, as in years past, Eastern's tournament jinx remained with us as we dropped the first tournament game to Battle Creek. The year's outstanding individual performance was turned in by Herb Marcussen, First string 5-A center. Jack Sturtevant and the spark plug of the team, Don Heller, also contributed a great deal to the life and fight of our squad. As only four players gradu- ate this year, the remaining varsity members will form a promising nucleus for 1949. .Ja A F Z 522,14-1.3-,.4Ji 1 Y Golf Fore!

With the advent of golfing weather, we Find Coach Doc Morrison's charges getting in plenty of prac- tice prior to their opening match. Herb Marcussen, versatile athlete, will join Jim Stephens, Ron LaFraugh, and Gerry Kinnison to form our starting foursome this spring. Past performances of these fellows indicate that their chances for a winning campaign this year are excellent. 51111
