BASKETBALL The basketball season of '38-'39 was less successful than the championship foot- ball season which preceded it. Mostly due to lack of experience on the part of the players, the team opened the first half of the season rather poorly, but began to show much more promise in the closing games and our team of giants, of which five towered well over the six foot mark, was nosed out of the play-offs by only a half game after trouncing Split Rock in the season s finals. The lettermen are D. Coates, Ternow, Virkler, and Goodfellow, veterans from last year's team, and C. Smith. Otts, Snow, Hudson, and Storm, playing their first year'of varsity ball. Bob Otts was elected captain for the '39-’40 season at the basketball banquet at Richard Decker s.

BASEBALL The 1939 baseball season was only fairly successful, although it provided many close, exciting games. Pitching was the team's great weakness, and as the regular moundsmen could not stand the strain, several relief pitchers were recruited from the infield. A large percentage of the players will return for 1940, so the prospects are cheerful. The squad included: Captain Don Coates, Richard Tarnow, Lloyd Baker, John Nostrant, Robert Otts, Glenn Goodfellow, Hugh Gibbons, Carl Smith, Robert Snow, Robert White, Cecil Reeves, Donald Thompson, Robert Stevens, Stanley Reeves. Ray Davis. Richard Olney, James Brauksiek. and George Cashman.
