Bob Blessing and Eugene Christie held the team on the course as co-captains. Coach Delaporte was again on deck to lend a hand in keeping the team from hitting hidden reefs. By tar the most entertaining game of the year was the one with the faculty, with Messrs. Anglemire, Bill, Ful- ler, I-luddy, lorndt, Slepicka, Small, and Weintraub, up- holding their honor. lt was a riot! Remember the six- man faculty sleeper? Bemember bullet-eye Fuller as high scorer?

BA SEBALL, SDCCER, 4ND Remember . . . the collision between third baseman Hugh Bitter and catcher George Roder in practice, which laid open Bud's forehead and broke Roder s Jaw the home-first double play in the first Senn game . . . Phillips' homer in the Von Steuben game? ROW-I: E. Lavery, R. Campbell, B. Blessing, B. Mueller, J. Phillips. ROW 2: B. Cana s Christie, D. Magnuson, R. Frank, D. Cahill, P.

Robert Blessing took the helm of the BASEBALL TEAM, and steered it through nine Wins and seven defeats. The quick eye of Willa1'd Mueller, catch- erp the arm of Big lim Phillips, pitcher: and, Blessings fielding at shortstop, were important tactors in keeping the team in fourth place in the North Section. Although the crew out-hit Lane 6-3 in the second encounter, We lost l-O. An- other heart-breaker Was the second Taft battle, in which the enemy scored many unearned runs due to errors. The season's heavy hitters were Robert Campbell with 522, and lim Phillips with .52l. Captain Robert Blessing Coach Maurice Weintraub THE RECORD Arnundsen I5 .............
