BASEBALL SCORES Charlotte 10 Howell 5 Charlotte 13 Mason 71 Charlotte 8 Everett 3I Orioles Quintet Places Second In Conference A 30-18 setback at the hands of Eaton Rapids in the semi-final con ference game of the season smashed all of Charlotte's hopes for u possible tie for first place in the Capital Cir- cuit League. The boys from the Island city were crowned champs tor the 1939-40 basketball season, with the Orioles a close second. In the Initial game of the season, Charlotte placed four inexperienced players on the floor as the start.ng lineup. Although showing nothing spectacular they humbled a fighting St. Johns team. 38-21. Continuing their good form of the week before, the Orioles won their second straight conference game by the lopsided score of 34-22 over a taller team. Grand Ledge. In a non-conference game, Lakeview high from Battle Creek avenged a tournament defeat of tast zear with a 2S-23 decision over the Orange and Black squad. A tight zone defense had Chanotte baffled most of the game. Journeying to Howell for the third conference game, the Orioles managed to eke out a slim 34-30 victory over the fast-break- ing boys from the east. The first con- ference defeat came to Charlotte at the hands of Mason, by the score of tO 18 Eaton Rapids next came to Char- lotte. leading the league with 4 wins and no losses. The Cardinals found the Orioles a little tough and were Charlotte's next victims by the small score of 21-16. Still not able to gel over the Lakeview Jinx, the boys from Battle Creek again rode over Char- lotte by the score of 39-33. The score tied until the last few minutes when u final spurt netted the Blue and White s.x, the needed points for victory. Another final rally gave the Orange and Black cagers a 21-19 de- cision over Hastings. In a return game with St. Johns the Red and While again took it u the chin. This time by the tune of 24-15. This game was the Orioles' first without the services of Fred Wleting. who was lost by graduation. Leland Wendell was then promoted from the second team and started in the other forward position. The sec- ond conference defeat for Charlotte came in a return game with Gr. nd Ledge in an overtime game, which was finally decided on the point sys- tem. The score was tied at the end of regulation time and also when one overtime period had elapsed. On basis of points, for most field goals, best percentage of fouls, and least number of fouls, the Ledgers won 6»,fc-5‘ . Hastings was next to drop Chnrlotte by the wayside and won in a return game by the close score of 28-26 This again was a non-conference tilt. Completing their last in a series of three defeats Eaton Rapids took their winning turn in victory by a margin of 12 point8. the score being 20-18. In the post-season game of the sea- son for Charlotte, which took place at the State District Tournament in Charlotte, the Orioles were decisively beaten for the third time by the ag- gressive Lakeview team. The score was 43-31. Poor defensive play on the part of Charlotte and the sharp- shooting of Captain Bob Armstrong of I akeview were the main factors In the downfall of the Oretige and Black squad. The Oriole squad was made up of eight seniors and two sophomores. Fred Wietlng. Jim Spanlolo. Clarence Squibb. Jack Mate. Jim Durner, Ken- neth Bruce. Raymond Snyder, and Lyle Kane are the final year men who have or will graduate. f(( 16 )))
