ROTIIENBERGER, '26 June For the first time in three years Reading High had a Swimming team. Mr. Brillhart and Jack Davis, of Springfield Physical Educational School, coached the fellows. The first meet of the season was against Allentown High School at Reading. This team was of excellent calibre. Reading High decisively beat the Allentown swimmers. Coatesville High School won the second meet of the season. Their two inter- scholastic champions virtually won the meet. In the third meet, return with Allentown, Reading High was again defeated. Captain Gilder showed his ability as a leader as well as a swimmer. He swam on the relay team, he won several places in the backstroke event, and competed in the 50-yard event. Louis Heller swam the hundred yard event and the backstroke. George Ribble swam on the relay team, the hundred and two twenty. Ribble won many places in the two latter events. Wallace Miller did excellent work in the breast stroke events, with Earl Brenneman as a mate in the same event. Whitman swam the two hundred and twenty yard events. Rothenberger swam on the relay team and helped that team to win consistently. John Bair, also a versatile man, swam on the relay team, the fifty and hundred yard events. The divers were David Heston and Albert Readinger, who did excellent work in their events. Boost for next year.

THE EPITOME 73 Reserve asket all Team HAROLD ZEHNFR, Capt., '26 F., Guard NORMAN TJANGEN, '28 F., Center FRED LABE, '27 J., Forward DONALD FIELDS, '26 F., Guard PAUL DIETRICH, '27 J., Forward JorIN ADAMS, '26 J., Guard DAVID ZIMIIERMAN, '27 F., Guard FRANK SCIIEID, '26 F., Forward TED PRICE, '26 J., Center TTARRISON VVICKEL, '29 F., Forward RUSSELL TVTENGLE, '28 F., Guard JoIIN HAWMAN, '26 J., Center GEORGE STARK, '26 F., Forward EMERSON CHAPIN, '27 J., Forward CLAUDE HANGEN, '26 J., Center JOHN ESTERLY, '27 J., Guard The Reserve basket ball team kept pace with the Varsity all season long. A remarkable record of 24 wins out of 25 Starts was established by our Scrubs Among the victories will be found triumphs over Reserve teams from other schools in the Central League and the strongest Berks County H. S. teams. The team record of 38 points per game scoring average against an I8 point average for the opponents speaks well for the Strength of the Reserves. The point per game average on the offense is especially fine considering the number of short games and the numerous substitutions. In only one game during the entire schedule did the same team that began the game remain in play for the entire con- test. Sometimes as many as I5 different players appeared in one game. The Reserves were coached by Mr. Sherker. Results of Reading High School Reserve Basket Ball Games 51 Reserves, 39, Sinking Spring H. S., 9. Reserves, g Oley H. S., 31.
