' 6 - 1 x 1 l Forward Line Will Be Strongest Point Of Veteran Occidental Soccer Eleven Coach Ralph Tichenor's Bunch of Veterans Looks for League Title By Harry Meyer For the past two years, Coach Ralph Tiche- nor, better known as Tic, Occidental mentor, has had everything but good material from which to pick a winning soccer combination. Contrary to the past, the Orange and Black skipper or pilot, whatever you wish, has this season a flock of veterans from both the first and second teams. Besides these men, who, in a rough estimate number around thirty, are new comers who have turned out on the athletic held with the fervid intention of making the team. - Although the Genesee Street Institution loses seven veterans, namely: jackson. Loucks, Serenatti, Westbrook, Odell and Rowley, the losses will not be keenly felt. jackson is lost through graduation while Row- ley finally wound up his p. g. course. Serenatti, Odell and Loucks, who found no prospects in school and no laurels knocking at their doors, left. Red Harry, who was the talk of the newspapers last year, is attending school but will be unable to go out for soccer. R Tichenor found little difficulty in picking a goalie since Ham Niven and Dick Rich, two reliable lads, are available. Rich will, in all probability, carry most of the goal tending burden with Niven sharing in one of the half- back positions, where he is equally as good. Fourteen Losing two fullbacks, the backfield may seem to be completely shattered. Several men from the scrub team, Hall and Katsampes, are con- tenders. Mope Fahy, the honest spit ball artist, will, undoubtedly, occupy a fullback posi- tion. Tichenor can spare Fahy from the half- back line, having plenty of halfback material in store. V Halfback Line Strong For a strong halfback line, Tichenor has a choice of the following men: Hall, Richardson, Collier, Niven, Chet Harry and Hodgeson. This year, Tichenor will center everything about Chet, who was the all-scholastic choice the past three years. The forward line is expected to turn out the best offensive combination of any team in the league. No East High backfield, not even last yearys. would be able to withstand the pounding our forwards are able to administer. Every man on the squad possesses a sure boot and it will take more than scholastic backmen to stop their bullet speed drives. - Veteran forwards are plentiful, Woodbridge, Storandt, Shantz, Persse, Kirkpatrick, Warner and Decker being last year's mainstays. Many new promising forward candidates may bloom forth into the limelight before the season ex- pires. With a 'vicinity championship in sight, the team must be given perfect support by each student of the school. Bill Smith is the newly elected manager of the'soccer eleven.

Mr. Clute will begin his duties immediately as director of band and orchestra work in the public high schools. VVe sincerely regret the loss of Mr. Clute, but welcome his able successor, Mr. Barclay of Des Moines, Iowa.

,X N l ' f, f sggcinrah' 4 Five First Team Veterans Eligible for Court Team Storandt, Fumia, Brown, Katsampes, and Schroclel To Form Nucleus of Basketball Team BY HARRY MEYER If the battle-scarred Ralph Tichenor, the coach with the winning smile, recovers from the effects of the soccer season, which is now in full swing, he will soon issue a call for basketball candidates. It is hoped by each and every member of the school that Tic recovers as prospects of a crack and unusual basketball five are insight. The fact that our school was wretchedly rep- resented in basketball last season, has no effect on this yearlspossibilities. Several men who were barred from participating in the game last season, will be on hand next month for the practices. Had these men played last year, it might have been an entirely different story. Forgetting the past season, and looking over the prospects, new material, and the veterans, West High has a wonderful opportunity to be represented by a winning team. The Occidentals lost Bump Howard, one of the best guards this state has ever laid eyes on. It is going to be a long time before West High will have another man of Howard's ability. Besides him, the Orange and Black suffers the loss of Bill Darling and Russell McFarland. Darling was lost through graduation while Packy, the perfect lover and most studious of all, is handling the faculty's medicine. Tichenor will look forward to five first team veterans besides an innumerable flock of scrub team veterans. The tive first team letter men are: Paul Woodridge, center, Paul Kat- sampes and Howard Brown, guards, Robert Schroedel, Lloyd Storandt and Victor Fumia, forwards. All these men have had plenty of experience and a crack team is expected. Merton Fahy, Robert Harmon, Wesley Ash- ton, Edward Hall, Raymond Kirkpatrick, Austin Bleyler, and James Shedd compose the squad of second 'team veteran men. COOL WEATHER WILL BRING p FIRST CALL FOR WRESTLERS As soon as it is cool enough to work inthe gymnasium, Coach Hulek will issue a call for tumblers. The team is going after City Championship honors this year and by the looks of things, they have a fine chance. The mat sport is get- ting to be quite a pastime in our school, judg- ing 'from the amount of interest shown by the student body last year. Five veterans remain from last year's team, which made East High and Tech High step along to capture first honors. The latter men who returned to school are Shorty Barons of the featherweight class, joe Krank who did wonders in the 135 lb. class, Bob Knight of the 140 lb. class, Gilbert Sandholzer of the 145 lb. class, and Anthony Gentile of the 120 lb. class. The team will suffer a great loss in the heavyweight class as Art Moehlman and Horse Bishop have not returned to school. Moehlman graduated and Bishop will not re- turn to school until January. A ' The league will again operate this year with teams representing East High, West High, Tech. High, Charlotte High and Kodak High. These teams will ,meet once at week for eight weeks to decide the city high school champion- ship. It looks like a big season for the mat artists. I 0 Each one of these men will battle away at the practices to earn a place on the first team. It would not be surprising if several former second team men are seen in the first team lineup. Bobby Fisher, star fof last year's second team, islost through graduation. As is well known, West High is one of the five teams in a league,'drawn up by the Health Education Department. Besides these games, the Occidental manager, Richard Jackson, is booking some fast outofttown teams, for play on open dates. Q fFifte3.n
