CAGERS IMPRUV ING ln comparison with the past few years, haskethall at Georges has greatly improved. ,loc Good, former athlete of Duquesne, suc- ceeded ,lohn Rohha as coach after the 1atter resigned. This year the team finished in third place, the highest position a Georges team has occupied for some time. Witll 'the help of two seniors, Tom Marano and Joseph Juriga, two juniors, John ,lacohs and john Barnette, and Rohert Kopetsky, a sophomore, Mr. Good was able to mold a fairly good team. The haskethall team for tho next year holds a promising future, since most of the 1949-50 team was composed of under-class nlen. Witll a little co-operation and hard work from the lroys, and the support of the directors, faculty, students, and fans, coach Good will surely have winning teams in the years 'io follow.

It builds character which, without a doubt, is one of the greatest assets for meaningful participation in our democra- tic society. Without character, an individual is much like a ship without a rudder that can steer for no definite goal, but wallows hopelessly buffeted by every Wave of inde- cisive action. Football also serves to build a sound body which in turn serves to house a sound and intelligent mind. Certainly any major sport under proper supervision will serve to develop greater coordination. One may ask how this will equip for adult living. The above mentioned attribute would serve one well as a worker in our present mass pro- duction schenie of industry. Football also teaches a boy to give and take which fits him to take his place in adult society. ,If a boy can show positive adaptation to small tasks he is assigned on the gridiron, he will be better equipped to carry on his duties as an adult in his chosen way of life. It serves to develop comradship and a greater respect for oneis 30 fellowman. Since the very core of any athle- tic team is teamwork, this trait thereby teach- es one to blend his efforts with his co-worker for the accomplishment of a common goal and a common good of all concern.

A HU STLING NINE Baseball is one of our first nationally known sports that has turned tl1e World Topsy-Turvy in its craze to satis- fy the enormous appetite of its public. Time spent on base- ball is not wasted as it builds character, sportsmanship, and co-operation as well as a sound body and a sound mind. Character, in its application of the individual and how he reacts toward othersg sportsmanship, each member sharing with each other its wins or its lossesg and co-operation, the team working as a unit to defeat any opposition-all these characteristics of good baseball make for good citizens and leaders in America. Georges hasn't won many laurels in baseball, but our boys have played the game for its sheer joy. Several found their way into Sandlot Teams and have performed well. The 1950 team is composed of a group of hustlers and it remains for time to tell of their results-champions! minor or major league material! Who knows? .51 :ga s
