C. Warwick, D. Goldnetz 1944 emzis Because of the lack of material and the poor condition of the tennis courts, Canton High,s tennis team had a very short season. The year,s squad consisted only of the two remaining letter men, Dean Goldnetz and Chuck Warwick. In the Illini Conference meet, Warwick nab- bed second place in the singles with Goldnetz placing fourth. Pekin and Galesburg were the other schools represented in the meet. The following week, Coach Johnson entered his two-man team in the District at Macomb. Warwick got second in the District which qualified him for the State meet. He was defeated in the first round at State. Coach Johnson did all that could be done under the circumstances. However, unless more interest is taken, tennis will be dead as far as Canton High is concerned. i 20 l

Although Canton High,s baseball team Was rained out five times before it got its season started, it made the most of the remaining time. The boys downed four opponents before losing to Galesburg by one run. Not having been discouraged by this one defeat, they Went on to hand Pekin a no-hitter and finished their regular schedule With only one de- feat. They then entered into the District play but were defeated again by Galesburg. Coach Larson lost three of his old timers when the Class of ,44 graduated but most of the boys will be back on the diamond come next season. With the increasing popularity of baseball, Canton really had a team to be proud of this year.

It would really not be strange at all, for it always seems to be the unknown, unsung hero that does the dirty Work, and Without Whose Work the team's appearance Would be impossible. That,s the team managers in a nut shell. So after one of those winning victories of ours, let's give an extra hand to those Well deserving managers of ours. What ya say! U11
