Kmnnkiii Paul Cap ta w Gkouok Galxtkk Capt. Elect Led by bis “Moose Paul the Cadets went through a queer season. At times the big red and white machine seemed to demonstrate a powerful scoring punch and then again it didn’t seem able to put over the winning touchdown when it was most needed. The bright spots of our season were the two ties that we brought against Norfolk and Creighton Prep, two of our toughest opponents. Zobel, our ‘‘flying Dutchman, was a constant threat to the enemies lines. Ducking low, he would tear the opponents’ line3 to shreds and then tear for the goal line. Zob was high scorer on our team and carried the brunt of the attack. The team averaged close to 159 pounds and was made of good fighting material. One thing that was outstanding on our team was the big center and the two powerful tackles When these three and the pony backfield went into action things happened. Fullback Galster was elected captain for next year. We know that “Gobo will do his best to fill “Moose’s shoes and big things are expected of Galster next year. t'nfjr Tirnith thro .3

 r» . THE BASKETBALL TEAM The West Point High School Basketball Team has gone through another basketball season with honor, having a total score of 345 points to their opponents 207. We participated in the Wayne tournament at WTayne. Although we didn’t win the tournament at Wayne this year we put up a hard battle but the inability to put ti e ball through the hoop cost us the tournament. Sportsmanship was carried out to its fullest extent, and we are proud of our boys. The loss of four Seniors will be keenly felt, but the five other letter men including Schmidt, Galster, Heilman, Cook and Zobel ought to hold up the prestige of the West Point High School in Basketball Schmidt, captain elect for next year, and high point man, proved to be the nucleus of the team. It was Schmidt’s uncanny ability to put the ball through the hoop when it was needed that won for us many games. Paul at guard was the mainstay on the defense and opponents found his wide range of guarding and his superior height an obstacle to put the ball through the hoop. It was also through the smooth team work and co-operation of the players with one another, that we managed to win a
