THE ARSENAL CANNON. 19 'l'EL'1'YlCNl. TRXCK TEXM 12115 Stamlingfldr. Liiilnlimx' ic:-achl. l'e1ltins, Butler, Holte, Williams iattenrlantl SittingfCaldwcll. Rulviiisun 1capt.l, K1-cllring. Although this year was our lirst in track athletics, it. was a successful one. We had an unusually small team when compa1'ed to the squads ol' Manual or Shortridae. But the team made up in quality what it lacked in quantity. Henry Butler proved to be the best Indiana high school half miler that ever Wore a pair of spiked shoes as he broke the state high record for the SRU yard run. Butler's win- ning' in this event gave Tech live points and he caused our school to re- ceive state wide re.'og'nition as a result of his performance. Perkins, dash man, also did well, working' his way into the semi-linals of 100 yard dash and the finals of the 220 yard dash. Robinson ran a pretty race in the -140 yard run coming' in fourth. If he had gotten a better start it is thought he would have placed. He also ian the 1110 yard dash. Caldwell got fourth in the 220 yard dash. Because he was handi- capped by havina' a c1'amp in his shoulder, Koehring', miler, did not do as well as expected. Coach Brunkow must be congrratu- lated on his excellent handling' of the team. Taking' an iniexperienced bunch of candidates, he developed them into the best of the local high schools' track squads. Only one man, Butler, of this year's squad, will be lost and it is hoped that with the most of this year's team as a foundation, Mr. Brunkow will build one of the best track teams an Indianapolis High School ever had. Il. H. COURAGE THAT WINS In his tennis match with Daugherty, Walker showed Wonderful fighting' spirit. With set score 5-2 against him, Walker braced and took the set 8-6.

Mr, Anderson Kcozichl Sitting-Wise, Daugherty, Fehr 1capt.l, Lawson, Nutt The Technical High School is proud of its first state basket ball team de- spite the fact that the quintet lost the only game it played. The team had hard luck in drawing Shelbyville as its first opponent. Shelbyville was one of the strongest HVQS that jour- neyed to Franklin and it had much experience. Our team, though it had the natural ability, lacked the exper- ience. Although our boys fought hard they were defeated 37-19. Only two players will be lost from the 1914-'15 team. Mr. McKenzie hopes to find capable players to fill these men's shoes and round out a good team for the season of 1915 - '16 Tennis at Tech The tennis enthusiasts at Tech formed an association and elected ofiicers in April. It was the intention of the organization to build a tennis court adjacent to the present one, but there will not be time enough to finish it this semester. The old court is in very good condition and the semi- finals and finals will be played upon it. Among those that entered are: Lowe, Lange, Koehler, Conner, McCoy, Daily, Daugherty, Meyer, Becker, Coxen, Baker, Brant, Davenport, Fehr, Argus, Heitkam, Conway, Kunkel, Woods, Walker, Kirshman, Crooke, McCul- lough, Cox, Williams, Erwin, Kellum, Brewington, Bowers, Schad, McCord, and Hartlauf. Those that have reached the semi-finals are: Walker, Erwin, Bowers and Daugherty. Be- cause of the weather, the tournamen+ has taken much more time than was expected and the full account will not be in this issue. E. J. H.

20 THE ARSENAL CANNON. Girls' Athletics Hockey appeared, perhaps, as the first sport on the girls' athletics' cal- endar for the past year. The game, however, was entiuely new to the girls. Then, too, cold weather soon prevailed, so very little was ac- complished. Miss Patterson's time was so occupied this spring that she was unable to coach the girls, hence, hockey was postponed until next fall. Many hikes have been enjoyed, not only by the girls, but by a number of the teachers since last September. The tramps that ofered the most frolic were those to Southport, Buzzard's Roost and Crow's Nest. A very ex- citing coincidence happened on the way home from Crow's Nest. Miss Houser's and Miss Hag-ley's groups of girls were misled about two miles. This not only afforded a much longer walk but made the hike more interest- ing. Violet hunting also added pleas- ure to this hike. Basket ball seemed to have been the most successful sport of the year. The Crimson team still rejoices over its victory. In all probabilities the girls on the winning team next year will get monograms- Henrietta Noonan, who was one of the strongest and most experienced players, and also captain of the Winning team, is no longer at Tech, nevertheless, the Crimsons have not forgotten her, as she was largely responsible for their having won the tournament. After the basket ball season termin- ated the girls were kept busy practis- ing for the May Festival. As their work for this activity did not prove to be in vain, a number of the gym girls participated in the Senior Play. The hygiene and gym girls did these gymnastics as regular class work. The girls have been playing outdoor games and base-ball lately. They also have been drilled in medical or corrective exercises. As the girls did not get to organ- ize a Tennis Club this year, Miss Houser spent her spare time in play- ing with them after school hours. The girls wish to thank all of the teach- ers who have helped them in any way this year and hope to have the same ones participate with them in next year's sports. E. J. Don't you think Tech's diplomas are worth working for? Greens Win First Monday, May 2-1. Greens 16-Whites 6. The first game of the monogram series was easily won by the Greens who hit Kimmick, White pitcher, hard. The winners did heavy work with the bludgeon, getting one home run, one triple, two doubles and eleven singles. Sherman, twirling for the Greens, did well after the first inning. The Whites scored five in the first round until the sixth, when the losers pushed over their final run. In this round, Harris of the Whites tripled and scored on a sacrifice fly- The Greens won the game in the third. Cooke led off with a single. Almost every other player that fol- lowed the rally starter got a hit. When at last the Whites had put out the third man, the Greens had rushed seven men across the pan. The next inning Meyer hit a home run with two men on. This performance boost- ed the Greens total to thirteen. The winners were banked in the fifth but they scored one and two runs respect- ively in the sixth and final innings. Score: Greens-1 2 7 3 0 1 2 - 16,15 4 Braves-5 0 0 0 O 1 O - 6 8 6 Batteries-Sherman and Holliday: Kimmick and Harris. Two base hits -Conner, Holliday.
