There were only five lettermen back, and Coach Portenier had seme difficulty shaping a team. However, the percentage of winning games this year was much greater than last year. Stanley Smith was captain this year, while next year William Baxter and John Petry will be captains. The Walsenburg Panthers swamped us twice, but we were under a handicap in Walsenburg since the game was played at night. The Abbey defeated us there the first game, but we reversed the outcome at our field by romping them. The games with the Mutes were excellent, as we defeated them twice. The most thrilling game was at the Mutes’ field, the score being 2 to 0. Page 34 BASKETBALL The Huskies had a very successful basketball season, winning nine games out of twelve—a percentage which exceeds any made during the last four years At the end of the year Stanley Smith was chosen captain, as Coach Portenier appointed different players to act as captain during the season. The best, or the most valuable, games of the year were with the Salida Spartans. We defeated them twice, the last game here being a real thriller. The lettermen this year are as follows: Stanley Smith, William Baxter, John Petry, Albert Batista. Clinton Edwards, Creighton Larson. Elmer Vandenbos, Ed Trivett and Marion McCandless. These men will all be oack next year with the exception of Smith and Larson, Page 35 BOXING AND WRESTLING The “F club put ever another victory this year, as the boxing and wrestling show was enjoyed by everyone.
