7i4e Cluznitia+t Oriole Gridders Win Six Games With six victories. one tie. and oniy two defeats. Charlotte took second place in the Central Six conference standings. However. Bast Lansing was the only team in the conference the Orioles failed to turn back. The season was climaxed by a 12-6 win over their arch rival. Baton Rapids, on Armistice day. Start Season with Four Victories Bight veterans returned for service ami with this foundation. Coach Gobel whipped the team into shape for the first contest. It resulted In a 13-0 victory over Ioniu. On the following Friday, the Orioles tied Cold water 6-6 in a night game. Charlotte had little trouble with their next two opponents. Mason and Grand Ledge: they defeated them 25-7 and 13-0 respectively. In the second home game. Hastings gave the Orioles their first defeat with a 12-7 score A week later the locals trampled over the Howell Highlanders by a 48-6 victory. I’pon invading Bast Ionising the Orioles again found the Trojans too powerful for them. Their mechanical skill attributed to a 25-7 victory. In the next contest the Boys' Vocational school bowed to Charlotte 23-0. Defeat Eaton Rapids In the season finale, the Orioles' ancient rivals. Baton Rapids, came here for the annual Armistice day game. For the second successive year. Charlotte was on the long end of the score, this time 12-6. A touch- down in the third period decided the outcome, after each team had scored in the opening quarter. This gave the Orioles a second place rating of .800. having scored 154 points to their opponents 62. Major letters were awarded to six- teen grid players. In place of the usual letters. Coach Gobel awarded metal trophies to those seniors who already had one football letter. Those receiving trophies were: Ned Bryan. Harlo Dewey. Walter Howe. Raymond Putman. George Collins. Charles Everts, and Robert Ray. Letters were awarded to the following players: Joe Nelson. Don Roush. Gail Cheney. Max Tullis. James Shaffer. Vern Reynolds. Carl Gordon. Bldred Toutant. Charles Bush, and Floyd Merritt who acted as manager for the team. With the exception of Nelson and Roush the latter group will return next year. At a meeting of the lettermen after the Eaton Rapids game. Ned Bryan was elected captain, having proved himself more than worthy of tills honor bestowed to him by his fellow players. Veterans To Return In answer to what he thought of next year's possibilities. Coach Gobel stated that with Toutant. Tullis. Cheney, and Bush, he had good back- fleld prospects. The quality of the team depends on the development of a line.” explained Mr. Gobel. if some of these hoys grow over the summer and develop into effective linemen, we'll have a good team next year.” Since Shaffer is the only regular line- man returning, there will he much opportunity for new players. In honor the season's fine work, the Charlotte merchants gave a ban- quet for the squad and the school hand. —Oriole Feathers Hr.RLO DEWEY: Winning live basketball letters Is a feat very seldom ac- ‘omplished by a player, hut such is the case of this individual. Harlo u so has four football, two baseball, and one track letter. GEORGE COLLINS: George is a first-class luiskethall player, having won three letters in this sport; also being elected captain of the team in his senior year for his brilliant playing. George has won two football, two track, and two baseball letters. RAYMOND PUTMAN: Putt” has two football, one basketball, one track, and two huselnill letters. Raymond dropped out of athletics last semes- ter in order to work. WALTER HOWE. Walt was elected captain of the liaseliall team last year. He has three baseball, two football, and two track letters. NED BRYAN: Besides playing on the football team two years and on the ImihHmiII team one year. Ned was elected captain of the football team last fall. DONALD ROl’SH: Don has one track and one footlmll letter. He did not go out for track this year. CHARLES EVERTS: He has held the position of guard on the football team for two years. ROBERT RAY: Bob also has two football letters, playing at the same position. JOB NELSON: Joe received his first letter this year as a member of the football team. He was manager of the basketball team this last winter. HOWARD BOND: Bondy won his first letter in track this year. He ran the 440 yard dash. ROBERT ALLEN. JR.: Bob” was a member of the relay team this spring. He ran both the 220 and the 100 yard dash. WERLIN BRADLEY: This was Werlln's first year on the baseball team. Ilf won his letter as an outfielder. FLOYD MERRITT: He acted ns manager of the football team lust fall. Interest in Baseball Rises; Team Defeats Howell Nine The national sport, baseball, took on a greater number of new recruits at Charlotte this year. It seems that the enthusiasm has risen over that of past years, also that the students and town folks have taken more in- terest. The Charlotte team won their first game from Howell by a score of 7-6 which was a hotly fought battle from start to finish. This was the first de- feat handed Howell from Charlotte for a number of years. In the second game Charlotte lost its first contest to Eaton Rapids 6-5. and was defeated by Mason 1-0 in the next. The other eight games of the season provided thrills for the spectators and valuable experience for the team. Senior members of the team to get letters are: Walter Howe, catcher; Ned Bryan, pitcher; Werlin Bradley, outfielder: and George Collins infield- er. These boys added much power In the field and at the plate. They will be missed very much next year. Howe, a veteran catcher, was the leading hitter of the team, also he was an inspiratlonal leader for his team mates. Collins who had prev- iously won letters in baseball was a capable fielder at any position on the infield. Bryan and Bradley were new to the team this year and they de- serve much credit for their work. Vern Reynolds, outstanding mound- man and being a junior, should he a great help to the team in another year. “Bob” Ladd, a sophomore, is another outstanding infielder. Vaughn Rogers. Jack Mate. Mike Mayhew, Carl Gordon. Jim Spuniola. and Jul- ius Fisher all were valuable to the team and to the school. This year's team was composed mostly of sophomors and juniors. Several freshmen made impressive be- ginnings and have chances of being i regulars by next year. Brown Arranges Many New Intramural Events Kenneth Brown who organized the various intramural teams must be giv- en credit for his splendid supervision and leadership in making the Intra- mural sports program a success. After Christmas vacation the first games were played In the basketball tournament. During a period of eight weeks, each team played the teams of the three other classes at least four times. These games were played In the gym on afternoons that the var- sity team had games. After the last game the classes finished in this or- der: seniors, first; juniors, second; sophomores, third, and the freshmen, last. For the pugilistically minded boy. the manly art of self defense, either boxing or wrestling was offered in the form of an elimination match, where the final contestant in each weight class was declared the point winner for Ills class. The hoys were placed under the tutorship of Terence Flow- er. who won letters in boxing at W. S. T. C. Kenneth Brown coached a golf team for the toys. and the girls were given an opportunity to play under the supervision of Mrs. Frances Wll- dern. Out scoring the sophomores by but one point, the juniors won the inter- class track meet with forty points. The seniors and freshmen finished third and fourth respectively. Miss Helen Collins, girls' physical education teacher, coached a girls’ basketball team and hIro organized a tumbling team, the first of its kind in Charlotte. The winning class of each sport has its class year engraved on n plaque furnished by former coach Kenneth Barnhill. Cage Team Has Average of .333 The Charlotte Orioles ended th» n 1836-37 liaskethall season under Couch Malcolm Gobel with five victories and ten defeats for a percentage of 333.

Two seniors. Dewey and Putman, left at the end of the first semester, leaving three regulars to finish the season. Tullis.
