Due to persistently bad weather, the divot diggers got a late start. Hank Hart’s ineligibility crippled the squad during the entire season. After swamping Flint on their own course by eight strokes in their first match, the Hoodmen lost the next one to Highland Park by a bare one point margin. In the third match Bay City dropped a return engagement to Flint by one stroke. The boys shot good golf here, but were unable to compete with the sub-eighty shooting of Flint’s star number one player. The team turned in a low medal score of 329 in a return meet with Highland Park, although the Parkers tied them. As a result of this last dual meet, Bay City was expected to place high in the state meet. But the prophecy did not hold true. The team turned in a total score of 368 to place fourth. Smith was low man with an 83, Leesch shot 90, Waehner, 91, and Preston 104. Grand Rapids won with a medal score of 314. Tennis ALTHOUGH losing all of the matches played this year, Bay City has afforded stiff 4 competition to all junior colleges it has met in tennis. In fact, the opposing coaches have admitted that the Bay town is their most feared snag. The team was made up this year of Pete LaBerge, veteran of 1931, Morris Kreulen, John Keho, Dan Sullivan, Don Oakes, and Lamar Skelton. Kreulen, Keho, and Sullivan will be back next year to form the nucleus of the 1933 net squad. Bay City dropped matches to Flint twice and Highland Park twice. In the state meet every Bay City player was eliminated in the first round. Both Coach Elson C. Hood and the players were satisfied with the team’s showing, since the netters were extremely handicapped due to the lack of practice time and courts. Some of the matches played in Bay City this year were held on the courts of J. Stanley See, Bay City business man, to whom the school is grateful for that service. And so the tennis year ends, one of losses, but one of good sportsmanship and tre- mendous student interest. [22 |

Back Row—Jack Ferris, Frank Tennant, Walter Hewitt, Bryce Adie, Phillip Patterson, Wesley Timm, Llewellyn Immerman, Emery Glancz. Swimming B CITY Junior College’s swimming team enjoyed another successful season. The tankers won two out of three dual meets and placed third at the State meet, repeating the record of last year’s squad. And this certainly is not a bad record taking into considera- tion the fact that the splashers practiced only twice a week. Almost an entirely new squad will perform for Coach Hood next season as the team loses all but Ferris, Tennant, Barnett, Bean, Hewitt, Patterson. Others bidding for places on this season’s team will probably fill the gaps left by the graduation of Meisel, Thorson, J. MacPhail, Fischer, and Adie. The swimmers and their events were as follows: Bryce Adie, 50 yards; Herb Bean, diving, breaststroke, relay; Jack Ferris, backstroke; Floyd Fischer, backstroke; Walt Hewitt, diving, relay; Joseph MacPhail, 100 yards, 220 yards; Virgil Meisel, breastroke; Phil Patterson, 100 yards, 220 yards, relay; Frank Tennant, backstroke; Howard Thor- son, 50 yards free, relay; Francis Barnett, 100 yards, 220 yards. In the first contest of the season ,the local team dropped a decision to Flint by a 42-21 score. However, the tankers came back to vindicate themselves, stopping Muskegon 36-27 -n the next meet. In a return dual meet with Flint, our swimmers amply gained revenge for their previous defeat with a brilliant victory of 40-26. At the state Junior College Swimming meet held at Michigan State College pool, Bay City took third place with 18 points being nosed out by Flint J.C. for second honors. High- land Park took first place with 30 points, followed by Flint with 19 , points. The swimmers who placed at the state meet are Patterson, Thorson, Bean, Ferris, and Meisel. Student interest in the swimming team this year took a decided turn for the better. All home meets were well-attended, and the team was well-supported. Particular interest was manifested in the state meet. With such backing by the student body, Bay City’s natators should go a long way in Junior College circles next year. Likewise considerably more interest has been shown in all J.C. teams than in former years. re

Tos. “Clk UsCloBel Intramural Sports Men NDER the guidance and supervision of Russell Amrhein, student athletic manager, Junior College finished a most successful and complete intramural sports year. Mr. Amrhein had John L. Cramer as an assistant. As starter for intramural competition, the freshmen and the sophomores clashed on November 17, in the annual Soph-Frosh football encounter, which ended in a scoreless tie. The Pre-Law basketball squad, winners of the elimination tournament, copped the intramural crown by defeating the Business Ads, who had previously won the round-robin tournament. In the annual Frosh-Soph cage tilt, a picked group of freshmen stars coached by Robert Wood vanquished their upper-class rivals by a score of 15-1. As a spring sports program, tournaments in golf, and in singles and doubles of horse- shoes and tennis were arranged. As yet, the winners of the various torneys have not been determined. In addition to these tourneys, a softball league was organized with teams entering from seven curricula. As a grand finale to the intramural year, a track and field meet together with the annual Frosh-Soph softball battle will be held immediately after examinations. Winners of the various individual tournaments, as well as members of the winning basketball and softball intramural teams, are to receive numerals. Women f hide year the Wilbur Pardon Bowen trophy passes from the safe-keeping of the Corona group into the hands of the Mystics who carried off the highest honors in the niflery, basketball, and swimming competitions. The group winning the cup for three consecutive years keeps it permanently. The Mystic sharp shooters were Winifred Bamford and Louise Talbot. The Corona group, represented by Helen Koth and Marian Spink, came in second, while the S. 5. 5. team, Ruth Forbes and Helen Ossipove, and the Boba team, Emiline Anderson and Eugenia Guindon, took third and fourth places respectively. In basketball the Mystics were again victorious. Ruth Alger, Frances Balwinski, W1ni- fred Bamford, Ellen Boergert, Margaret McMullen, Marion Meisel, Jane Nickless, Esther Schweitzer, and Beatrice Williston played. The Boba group took second place, and the Arpatias, Auraes, and Coronas all tied for third. The Mystics copped the swimming meet with a team composed of Ruth Alger, Ellen Boergert, Reba Langworty, Jane Nickless, Esther Schweitzer, and Beatrice Williston. The Arpatia group came in second, Boba third, and Corona fourth. In tennis the Arpatias, Auraes, the Bobas all tied for first place, the Coronas taking second. Mary Elizabeth Lourim won more singles than any other girl, and the Boba doubles team composed of Louise Steigmeyer and Maria Kirchman was most successful. The baseball competition, which is yet to be played, offers opportunity for more girls to win numerals, but the cup is already assured to the Mystic group. [ 23 |
