The Golds also swept two non-league tilts from the Bethel Braves' sophomore team, thus giving the Golds an overall season record of nine wins and seven losses. This year, as in the past two seasons, the sophomores have turned out early in the morning due to lack ot gym space in the afternoon. Although these practices were inconvenient, the hard-working sophomores didn't miss many practices. Consid- ering the sophomores' eagerness and dedication, the returning lettermen can be assured ot much high spirited competition for their varsity positions. One-Hundred-Ten

With Coach Bob Ehrenheim working With an earnest group of participants, the reserve tracksters con- sistently came up with good performances this year in competition with city and capital league opponents. This Was due to the depth experienced by the varsity team, leaving better than average performers to compete in these meets. Running directly after each varsity heat, the reserves had something to aim for, trying extra hard to equal or surpass the varsity times in hopes of gaining a varsity spot. After once proven as good or better than the varsity cindermen, each reserve got his chance to perform in the varsity heat. With valued experience gained against true competition, these T-Bird athletes can look forward to filling the spikes left by the graduating seniors. One-Hundred-Nine

THEY RULD EARLY MORNING PRACTICE SESSIUNS SOPHOMORE BASKETBALL - Left to right: G. Gilman, B, Grant, M, Brunelle, D. Durance, I. Dorman, W. Elery, Coach Ubben, R. Hamilton, S. McCoid, R. Schmitke, G. Schmidt, T. Williams, F. Bush, P. Mennenga. The sophomore Reds, under direction of Coach Larry Ubben, this year compiled a 7-win 9-loss season record. Although they lost more than they won, their season was termed successful because of the fact that they twice defeated their school rival, the Golds. A With determination and hustle, these sophomore boys are looking forward to a crack at some reserve and varsity positions within the next two years. lt takes a lot of desire and a love of basketball to come to the early practices that these sophomores took part in. lf it wasn't for their willingness to work extra hard and their determination, their fine showing certainly could not have been possible. With Coach Ubben leading the way, these sophomores had a successful season and therefore should be given a hearty thanks for a job Well done. One-Hundred-Eleven
