The annual junior-senior basketball game is played on April 7, with the juniors, using four members of the varsity team, winning both divisions of the game, 13-11, and 17-8. The first game of the season results in a victory for the local nine, as it defeats Austin, 10-3, on April 13. Grove and Pelletier, Blue-and-White hurlers, hold the city sluggers to three scattered hits. The local track squad loses to York, 63 -40 , on April 15. York was the winner of last year ' s sectional meet held at Proviso, and won the Missouri State relays this year. Coach Appleton ' s team drops its first league game, losing to Waukegan, 9-3, on April 16. Each school collects only four hits, but seven errors by Proviso ' s infield cost the game. With Orv Grove hurling two-hit ball, the locals whip New Trier, 5-0, on April 21, the first league victory of the season. Brandau, Ermisch, and Guiney collect two hits each to share slugging honors. The first call for candidates for the golf team goes out, as Coach U. C. Foster begins his annual search for future Joneses, Hagens, and Sarazens. Thirty eager links-aspirants turn out, including four mem- bers of last year ' s squad. After several practice rounds, the number of candidates for the golf team is cut to twelve. Of these, five will be retained for league competition. The fresh-soph track team defeats Austin, 43 -42 , on April 22. The following day the varsity whips Austin, burying the city school under a 91-22 landslide. The varsity track team picks up another victory on Saturday, April 25, trimming Mor- ton, 68-13. The fresh-soph squad is nosed out by a 50-45 score. In a slipshod and sloppy game, the Blue-and-White nine whips Oak Park, 9-8, on April 24, on the home SAM MANFREDI. HORSESHOE CHAMP diamond. The winning run is shoved across in the last inning on a squeeze play which catches the Oak Park infield napping. On April 27 the local nine drops its second league game, this time to Evanston, 7-5. Again, errors by the Proviso infield account for the loss. Spring practice for Proviso ' s football squads ends with several scrimmage games with Riverside. Ac- cording to Coaches Remley and Hatley, both the varsity and lightweights are in line for successful seasons next fall. Fresh-soph and junior-senior ping-pong tourna- ments are held, with Bert Selfe winning the former and James Stewart taking the latter. Selfe defeats Stewart in a play-off match, becoming school champ. Sam Manfredi, ' 38, wins the singles horseshoe tournament, conducted by Athletic Director Louis Slimmer. During April, J. W. Moelk, of the science depart- ment, has been conducting life saving classes in antici- pation of the Red Cross examinations to be held early in May. Forty boys, eight seniors and thirty- two juniors, are eligible to take the tests. GOLF TEAM STANDING: E. Burnham. G. Bruce. E. Schwerin. Mr. Foster. KNEELING: A. Puscheck. E. Batterman.
