BASKETBALL LETTERMEN Viehe Jackson, Freshman Nashville — Guard As a first letter man Jackson played good offensive ball. His long shots helped the Bearcats in many a tight pinch. Jackson was always there to receive the ball and could be counted upon to bring the ball across the line. He still has three more years to prove his worth with the Bearcats. Captain Gehl Devore, Senior Altamont — Forward Starting late in the season, Gehl was able to maintain his fighting spirit and to encourage the fellows to four trium- phant games. His ability for long shots made him the leading scorer of the season. Gehl was the pushing force be- hind the whole team. Gehl ' s leadership and good sportsmanship will be remem- bered by every member of the team. Arthur Kleinschmidt, Sophomore Lebanon — Center Art ' s height, along with his ability, made him an essential part of every game. Art showed a willing and conscientious spirit at all times. He was always under the basket for the rebounds and added many points to McKendree ' s score. He should be the nucleus around which the team will be built next year. Victor Donaldson, Freshman Shobonier — Forward Vic always played a cool, steady game and made his share of points for McKendree. He did exceptionally well in the victory over Greenville. Donald- son will be an asset to the team next year. Ira Thetford, Sophomore Froeburg — Guard Tiny could always be depended upon to handle the ball well. He was even tempered and played a good, clean game. Thetford will be a great help in building a future team. No matter what the score was Thetford always kept his fighting spirit. Larry Jones, Senior Fredericktown, Mo. — Guard Larry was always alert and fighting and he played to win. He was consis- tent in his play, both on offense and defense. This is Larry ' s last basketball season and McKendree can be proud of his addition to the team. V. JACKSON KLEINSCHMIDT THETFORD (Photos by Wyatt) DEVORE DONALDSON JONES 23

BASKETBALL SQUAD FRONT ROW {Left to McKnelly, C. Jackson, ight): V. Jackson, V. Donaldson, D. He L. Jones, A. Kleinschmidt, H. Garrett, i, I. Thetford, G. Devore. Church (coach). BACK ROW: Notaras (Mgr.), J. With the war taking most of the men away from the campus this year, McKendree was fortunate enough to have a basketball squad. All of the players were new on the team; nevertheless a good fighting spirit was prevalent throughout the season. The squad was handicapped by most of the team living off the cam- pus. At the end of the first semester McK lost their captain, Don Harmon, and another important player, John McKnelly. Edward Wright came the second semester and played some good ball as forward and guard. The team won four out of seven games which is very good considering the inexperience and the diffi- culty in training. Most of the players will be back on the campus again next year and the Purple and Whites should once again see a good season.

Department of Physical Education for Wo- men, Instructor, Vergene Jones. In the school year 1943-44 this department presented two outstanding performances. A program of December, 1943 consisted of A Model Parade , An Indian Tranquil, and a Military Flag Drill. The May Pole Revels of 1944 was under the direction of the P. E. Class. A most difficult and beautiful performance was given. Members of the class presented several ideas for the; May Pole Festivity. Class periods were composed of physical exe rcises to stimulate gracefulness; to correct posture; to develop proper walking habits, and to bring into use muscles which are often neg- lected and undeveloped. The women of the class developed creative ability by presenting suggestions and ideas pertaining to rhythmical patterns; descriptive stunting; and developed coordination in group performance.
