There were twenty students on the staff with Mary lane McFall, Ruth Ward, and Ierry Klever as co-editors. The staff members took turns working on Tuesday nights at the shop where the Parrot was printed, so if they looked a little dark under the eyes, was only because they had worked into the Wee hours of the morning. ' Mr. M. M. Mercer was the faculty adviser of the paper, and with his advice they put out many fine editions of the Parrot which were well received by the student body.

Ott 7947 qoaldall Seann Bowling Green High School's Bobcats proved to all local grid fans that the Winning habit was theirs by smothering six of eight foes on their 1947 slate. Confronted with the loss of eight regulars from the previous campaign, Coach- es Creason and Ott faced an uphill task of rebuilding. The majority of team backers was forced to express skepticism over the squad's chances, all of which furnished the Scarlet and Gray with a burning challenge for the season's work. Operating behind a diminutive line, sprinkled with converted backs and promoted lightweights, the ball carrying corps of Simonds, Zimmerman, Man- hart, Nelson, and McKenzie ground out a 35-7 verdict over Port Clinton in the inaugural at City Park. Zimmerman scored on jaunts of four and eleven yards, Nelson smashed one yard, Patterson ran 20 yards with a blocked punt, and Mooney grabbed an elongated aerial from Simonds to account for the scoring. A week later, Whitmer showed surprising line prowess in limiting the Cats' ground gaining machine to a 20-O verdict. Zimmerman heaved to Pat- terson ZO yards for the first tally. McKenzie and Berry bucked for short yard- age to nail down the other TDs. Elem .fafze---794 7 On the road for the second week, Coach Creasan's boys traveled to Find- lay where they shellacked the Trojans 28-7. The score was no true indication of the locals' superiority. Manhart climaxed the efforts with a 62 yard paydirt scoot. Zimmerman hit the promised land twice and McKenzie hit it once. Back at the Park stadium, the Cats made it four in a row at the expense of a heavy but flimsy Tiffin Columbian squad. The fracas turned into one Scarlet and Gray scoring drive after another as McKenzie, Zimmerman, Nelson, Roe, Manhart, and Mooney racked up a seven touchdown total. Don Iohns' brilliant string of conversions came to grief at l3, however. When the final smoke of battle cleared, the Cats were on the long end, 45-6 as the number of Bobcat subs equalled the final count. Next on the victim's list was Perrysburg. The Yellow Iackets, considering Bowling Green as a pre-season soft touch, had vowed to maul the Bobcats mentally and physically. The result was a 31-0 B. G. victory over a team employing a 20 pound per man weight advantage. Rex Simonds, in great form, scored on a 63 yard interception and also chucked a touchdown aerial to Norm Mooney. Zimmerman continued as offensive kingpin with a scoring pass to Patterson, while Manhart added a touchdown jaunt of his own. Mc- Kenzie crashed over for the remaining marker. Injuries for both sides attested to the hard play of the teams. A clash of two unbeaten powerhouses took place when Napoleon came to town a week later. Although piling up a big statistical edge, B. G. was able to gain only a 12-7 scoring advantage. McKenzie smashed for the actual scores, but Bowling Green leather luggers narrowly missed paydirt on several other occasions. Nelson ended a concerted Wildcat scoring drive late in the game with a 70 yard pass interception. The game of the year pitted the state's second best eleven against the local club, now eleventh in state ratings. lt was the annual clash with Fremont to decide the question of league supremacy. It served its explicit purpose, much to the Scarlet and Grey's sorrow, as the Little Giants rode roughshod over the locals, 45-0. Beck, Frey, and Weinhart operated flawlessly behind their 195 pound line. The Bobcat bubble had definitely burst, and they were on the down grade. One man dampened all Bobcat hopes of a successful end to the season. Carlos Iackson, loose-gaited halfback sensation, scampered to three long touch- downs as Fostoria dropped the locals 22-6. McKenzie tallied for the losers. And so it was that a midget backfield and a 158 pound line, at time flash- ing signs of real greatness, ended the year with six victories and two setbacks. goalie!!! DON IOHNS-Senior-Center-Co-Captain-5'8W , 165 lbs. He ended three years as first string center with selections as Most Valu- able Player and honorable mention All-Ohio. Was noted for rough play. REX SIMONDS-Senior--Quarterback-Co-Captain-5'10 , 160 lbs. His generalship made him a playing coach and his passing made him a dangerous threat. Was honorable mention All-Ohio. HAROLD MANHABT-Senior-Halfback45'9 , 145 lbs. A great drawing card, this mercury-gaited dash man could break up a ball game with one of his timely jaunts. BOB NELSON-Senior-Halfback-5'9'', l50 lbs. He was noted for three things, as a 50 yard punter, hard driving weak side runner, and the best defensive secondary man from here in quite some time. What a manl AL Z1MMERMAN-Senior-1-lalfback-5'7 , 135 lbs. Because he was the team's most versatile back, he was starting left half for two years. Although small in stature he was never injured in that time. ROGER MCKENZIE-Iunior-Fullback-5'1l , 165 lbs. A muscular combination of speed and power, he tallied eight touchdowns this year. Should rip the opposition apart next season. HM BERRY-Sophomore-Fullback-5'10 , 155 lbs. Winning his letter as a mere sophomore, he proved nearly as adept at fullbacking as Mac. He's slated for halfback duty in the future. GENE HOOT HARMS-Senior-Guard-5'7'', 135 lbs. A ball of fire as a running guard, Hoot impressed sports siribes with his aggressive style. A good little man to have around, he was selected All, Northwestern Ohio first ttam. TOM PATTERSON-Senior--End-5'8 , 155 lbs. Although being the team's biggest worrier, he worried plenty of opponents with his top-flight defensive play and pass catching. TOM KLEVER-Senior-Guard-5'7'', 162 lbs. He had the stature and determination necessary for good guard play. Was particularly troublesome on defense. BOB FISCHER-Senior-Guard-5'9'', 164 lbs. He was a real rarity for two reasons. He played guard with a college ha1fback's physique and was one of the few able to halt the Little Giants' attack. HAROLD DAVIS-Senior-Tackle-5'10 , 168 lbs. Because he was endowed with quick starting motion, his charge was both explosive and effective. DEAN COOKE-Senior-Tackle-5'11 , 160 lbs. Dean had the determination and tenacity to absorb a great deal of pun- ishment, night after night. BILL DOWNING-Senior-Tackle-5'10 , 160 lbs. A iack of all trades and master of none on the gridiron, he finally landed at tackle. . ' ROMEY HOCK-Senior-End-5'9 , 155 lbs. Besides trying to keep Hoot in line, he found time to snag plenty of passes and mop up for the glory boys. BUD SHANER-Senior-Tackle-5'10 , 160 lbs. - Although he was sometimes lost in the shuffle of all those tackles, he en- joyed his contact in big helpings. NORM MOONEY-Iunior-End-5'9 , 176 lbs. Following his brother's footsteps, Norm has everything a wingman needs. They'11 have to reinforce the stadium to hold him. SAM ADAMS-Iunior-Tackle-6', 170 lbs. He was the surprise package of the year, landing a first string tackle berth. Look for him at end next year. BILL LEWIS-Sophomore-Tackle-6'1 , 180 lbs. A giant as far as B. G. is concerned, Bill, unfortunately was hampered with injuries. He shone as a vicious blocker. COACH FORREST CREASON- Creas has done more than any other person to bring back the fighting spirit to Bowling Green by putting winning teams on both the gridiron and the cinders. Although his football team gained a third place in the Buckeye League, Creas more than gained revenge by coach- ing his fourth straight Buckeye League Championship Track Team. COACH RICHARD VAN ALLEN-A college teammate of Creason's, Van coached Bowling Green's first District Championship Basketball Team since 1941 in his second year at B.G. MANAGER LEONARD HAT- FIELD-Acting as chief nurse- maid to the football, basket- ball, and track teams, Shorty took care of both the boys and their equip- ment. COACH WARREN OTT-Noted for his like of playing the games rough, Ott has always been liked by the boys lucky enough to have him for a coach. Ott assisted Creason and Van Allen as assistant coach in football, basketball, and track. MANAGER lIM SHERER- lim was a capable assistant to Leonard even though it was his first year at carryin' the toWel. Jim will be around next year to give the team its wants. 3 www, AL ZIMMERMAN--Senior: Al was cap- tain of this year's basketball team cmd was the team's best ball handler be- sides being a good shot. Al hit his peak in the tournament when he got 35 points in four games. Al also made honorable mention All-Buckeye. REX SIMONDS-Another senior, Rex was a valuable man to the squad throughout the season: both on the backboards and as a scoring threat. Hooks was always good for two points in a close game and he will be missed greatly by next year's team. DON IOHNS--lohnsie, as he was known to almost everyone, is the third and last senior on the team. He carried the reputation of being rough and tough from the gridiron to the hardwoods and he was feared by all opponents. Don missed part of the season due to a vacation but still he was a valuable man to the Bobcat quintet. HM CRANKER-lim undoubtedly had the best eye on the team and proved it by scoring well over two hundred points during the season. lim could have scored more if he had been hitting at the beginning of the season as he was in the final half. Iim made the All4Buckeye second team and should do even better next year. NORMAN MOONEY-Only 5'lU , Norm still got his share of the rebounds off the backboards and started many fast breaks which led to easy baskets for his team mates. Norm was a very cool player and played at his best when the going was toughest. He gained honorable mention on the All-Buckeye team and will be back next year to do even better. BARNEY FlRSDON-Barney hit a bad streak in mid-season but he started out and finished by scoring quite a few points. Besides whipping a wicked backhand pass and playing a good floor game Barney was adept at hitting one hand push shots from almost anywhere on the court. Barney is a junior and still has another crack to help win the Buckeye League crown. LLOYD PEARSON-Lloyd started out being the first string center but had a slump in mid-season and then came along fine again at the end of the season. He gained much experience with the reserves and there is no doubt that he will be a big asset to next year's team. PAUL SAUTTER-Although Shorty did not see much action on the court this past season he showed promise of becoming a valuable man to have on hand when basketball rolls around again next year. He also gained much needed experience with the reserves and helped them win many games. ROLAND ADAMS- Sam was another of the hard working boys who didn't see much action in varsity games but when he did he could be counted on to accumulate more than his share of the fouls. Sam was a good rebound man and should do well on next year's team since he is only a junior. DAVE WITTE-Dave was the tallest member of the Bobcat quintet and didn't see much service until the latter part of the season when he really came through to be a big factor in the Cats' winning of the Defiance tournament. Dave used his 6'4 frame to good advantage on tip-in shots and rebounding and could handle himself very well in spite of his age. Dave is only a sopho- more and has two more years to prove his prowess to Bobcat opponents. ..fg.wNw,w A gym ,x. X1 X.

The teams, listed in order of the way they finished the first round of play are: Sofios' Teddybears, Hock's Hudsons, Fischer's Bodies, in a four way tie for fourth were Nelson's Fur Find- ers, Hiser's Hot Shots, Patterson's Parasites, and Manhart's Magics. Bringing up the tail end Was Harms' Hammerheads. Commissioner Robert Porter conducted all games while Czar Warren Ott controlled the teams behind the scenes. After Winning the first round handily, Sofios' Bears were eliminated from the double elimination tournament by Hock and then by Hiser. The Hammerheads and Magics reached the winner's bracket finals which was Won by Manhart's Magics in a hard fought battle. Hock, Winner of the losing brack- et then beat Harms and the final game to decide the championship between the I-Iudsons and Magics is being delayed by Czar Ott until appropriate weather conditions prevail. The scorers in the campaign are led by Hock with 77 points, Bressler with 59, Harms with 53, and Weissbrod with 53. Hock is not conceded much of a chance to break Goodmans all time high of 100 points set last season: this would mean that Hock would have to get at least 23 points in the championship game.

During the course of the year five school records fell which led us to believe that the team of 47 was even better than the Buckeye League Champions of 1946. The Cats participated in several statewide meets and turned in many good performances against such track monarchs as Cleveland East Tech, Columbus Central, Canton McKinley, and Toledo DeVilbiss. Some of these meets were the Mansfield Relays, Wesleyan Relays, and the DeVilbiss Relays. The Bobcats placed fifth in the DeVilbiss Relays, and through the efforts of Don Harms garnered one point in the Mansfield Relays. In the inaugural of the campaign the Bobcat thinclads lost to Toledo DeVil- biss, defending state champs, 70-49. In easy fashion the cindermen defeated Fostoria, Sylvania, Findlay, and Fremont. For the third year in a row the Bobcats copped the Buckeye League Title easily at Findlay, and thus they became undisputed owner of the Donnell Cup. The District Meet was the climax of the season, for the Bobcats really showed their stuff by breaking three school records and finishing second behind a very strong DeVilbiss team. They then got second at the Port Clinton Relays, and Don Harms got one point for us in the State meet at Columbus. The 1947 team saw Don Harms, Titus, Iohns, Manhart, and McKenzie in the dashes, and in the 440 it was Titus, Scott, and Downing. Kramp and Hoot Harms took care of the half mile, while Waugh and Patterson had a contest between themselves in the mile run. Lee and Nelson took care of the High lump in fine fashion as did Don Harms, Manhart, and McKenzie in the broad jump. Sautters and Weissbrod did the pole vaulting. The Cat relay teams were composed of Titus, McKenzie, Manhart, Don Harms, and Simonds in the 880 Relay, while the mile relay was run by Zimmerman, Scott, Kramp, Titus. and Iohns. Lee, Zimmerman, McKenzie, and Nelson performed admirably in the hurdles. Urschel, Bandeen, and Carey put the shot well over 40 feet, and in the discus, Carey took top honors by breaking his own school record for the fourth time. Urschel and Bandeen followed close behind with good throws well over 100 feet. Here we would like to pay tribute to the Captain of the 1947 track team, Don Harms, who did more to bring fame to the school track team than any other athlete has done. He placed in every meet he participated in, including the state, although he was handicapped by a bad back. He placed fifth in the broad jump at Columbus and holds the school record in the broad jump and 220 yard dash. He also anchored the record holding 880 Relay team. This year's team will be another powerhouse in Bobcat track annals, although it probably will not be so great as the greatest of all Bobcat track teams-the team of 1947. 1948 TRACK SEASON For the fourth straight season the Bobcat thinclads climaxed a successful season by winning the Buckeye League track championship at the University stadium Saturday, May 9. Although all of the Cats turned in excellent performances, Dave Witte's record shattering throw of 136 feet in the discus was the best performance of the meet. This throw bettered the old record held by Dick Carey by more than seven feet. Before the Buckeye League meet Creason's thinclads held victories over Fostoria, Maumee, and Findlay. These meets gave them a good chance to show their stuff before the big meet. Next year's track team should again prove to uphold the school honors, but seniors Al Zimmerman, Tom Patterson, Rex Simonds, Bob Fischer, Harold Manhart, Don Iohns, and Romey Hock will be hard to replace. k E may .1 K 5, .1 H ,, Mx ., t -:..:IEjff ', wk .JW PSB Q ' gi it ,, 2 x x wi g XS Q :,, ' .
