FOOTBALL 1939 With two new coaches, Lester “Buck” McCarns and Harry Quack” Sanders, the Little Wonders started out with eleven inexperienced men who were rapidly trained into a fast stepping squad. These eleven men, under the tutoring of the two local boys, defeated eight teams out of ten scheduled games, and lost only one conference game. ‘ Cloninger, Davis, Crayton, Leazer, Fowler, and Dayvault were some of the outstanding men, with Leazer being chosen to the All Conference team.

Front Row — J. T. Correll, James Russell, Lewis Davis, Captain; R. W. Harkey, Ray Childers, and J. D. White. Second Row — Ben Jones, Manager; Bill Cook, Luther Pethel, Lloyd Lowder, David Alexander, Bill Byrd, Norman Hamrick, and Coach Howard Baker. Third Row — Archie Nesbit, Garrison Freeman, Charlie Gardner, and R. D. Day- vault. Due to the lack of experienced men the team of ’39 did not fare so well on the basketball courts. The new squad faced many difficulties from the start. Only one letterman, Lewis Davis, returned to practice and the schedule was one of the toughest faced by a Little Wonder team. A1 Cloninger, fast stepping center, was kept out of the games due to an injury received in football playing. However, Childers, Harkey, Russell, and White under the guidance of Coach Baker, proved to be effective on the court.
