's victory was Joe Goldberg, whose stellar shooting made seventeen points. Everybody agreed that this was the best game turned in for Calumet by the lights. The team next traveled to Parker and once more was triumphant, this time by the score 25 to 21. The lights kept the lead all the way, and when toward the end of the game Parker threatened, Holmquist made a couple of charity-tosses. The fighting Spartans, now breaking into rnidseason form, traveled to Fenger next, and again showed their superiority, 30 to 23. Goldberg featured with nine free throws and Dick Adams, playing his last game for Calumet, starred with his offense and also played a beautiful defensive game. Adams ended a successful career of three years in which his steadiness was proven time and again. He played stellar ball as captain and was a good influence on the newer boys. He was the backbone of the team. The February graduation meant also the departure of Bob Moreland, Andrew Johnson, and Hayden Smith, all of whom had been prominent players. The lights, now thoroughly acquainted with victory, went to Harper for their last traveling game. Filling Adams, shoes was quite a problem but George Haas was given this responsibility. Haas was a member of 'last year's five but was not eligible till February. He pfdved to be the best scorer in the Harper game. xXVith him K starred XVorm Hayes, who leaped iritb,t'he limelight , with his splendid defense. , 1 , ' CASEY s A' ' Y J X .

Lightweight Basltetball The Calumet Ponies had a great season, carrying off first place in the south section, with a remarkable rec- ord of six victories and only one defeat. They faced the season with a five composed of Holmquist, Adams, Goldberg, Smith, and Hayes. Dick Adams had had two seasons of experience. In the first pre-season game the boys were nosed out by their opponents, Lindblom, 15 to 135 then the ponies went on to win three tilts and lose seven of the rest of the pre-season games. Their record thus far was not a bad one, for their opponents made 204 points against 185 points made by Cal. A noticeable improvement was seen in each game as the boys became acquainted with each other. In their initial league encounter the lights faced Hirsch. Since several former Calumet players were on the Hirsch team, the Cal team had a special reason for wanting a victory. With this inspiration the boys won by the triumphant score of 24 to 18. In their next tilt they played host to the highly- touted Hyde Park five, who were slated to be the star team in Chicago. This reputation, however, did not daunt our ponies and they upset all predictions by tri- umphing, 35 to 34, in a stirring battle that had the crowd on their feet continually. The lead cha-nged hands many times but the gun sounded as Calumet was leading by one point. Largely responsible for Calumet's teh if: N . -3.
