The Orioles, with lettermen Simek. Hall. Hicks. Bot- tomley. Garlinghouse ami Terwilliger back, appeared headed for a mediocre scuson. but with the help of Mike” Mathews. Phil Snyder. Jack Clever George Willard. Charles Gordon, ami George Maclkmald the Orioles came through a rough schedule with six wins, one loss, and one lie. MacDonald came to Charlotte from Newberry and. as a uicklo or end. which he played both, was a big cog in the Oriole-» success. Mathews, a speedy sopho- more. teaming with TerwIlliger, gave the Orange and Black a feared of- fensive weapon. With Bot tomley and Wellman bucking the line, and Gar- linghouse grabbing short passes, the Orioles had a well-balanced attack. Jack Clever's toe accounted for 13 extra points throughout the season and his kick-offs were also very help- ful in setting the opponents back. Front Row—Edgar Rambdu. Elwood Martin. - Mike Mathews.

He was selected as an all-conference end as a «jridder and received honorable mention on the all-state football team. Dedication Opens Season ( II. S. Meeting Battle Creek Lakeview in the dedication game. Charlotte scored in every period to crush a bewildered Spartan eleven. 26 to 0. Excellent blocking by the Oriole line and hacks paved the way for four touchdown gallops by Terwilliger. Their second encounter was with Coldwater at Charlotte, and although a close game resulted, the Orioles pulled through 20 to 7. Mason evaded Charlotte’s gridiron for the next game and fell before a powerful attack 38 to 6. Next came the strong, undefeated Grand Ledge gridders. who. after a thrilling game topped the Orioles for the first time. 14 to 6. A long pass from Mathews to Terwilliger gave Charlotte its only score. while Charlie” Imoff accounted for both Ledger touchdowns Charlotte Journ- eyed to Hastings the following week and knocked off a high-riding Saxon eleven. 27 to 6. The first half was very close. Charlotte leading 13 to 6. but the Orioles charged back in the second half to add 14 more points to their total and walked off with a one- sided victory. Bob Pierce, giant Hastings' fullback, was given such a beating every time he carried the ball that he was removed from play late in the game. Pierce was the whole Saxon attack and his absence left them helpless. Another road trip found Charlotte facing Howell, who had spoiled the Orioles’ basketball season the year before, but the Orange and Black eleven avenged this loss with an easy 21 to 0 win. Harold McMacken. Howell fullback, who was causing the Orioles lots of trouble, was severely injured in the third quarter and taken out. Mathews’ two long runs were the feature of the game. Wellman in High Returning to Charlotte, the Orioles next met a powerful Everett eleven, undefeated in twenty games. On a rain-drenched field the Charlotte boys, sparked by the pile-driving Wellman, who scored all 14 points, upset the favored Southsiders 14 to 0. Great defensive play was shown by the Oriole line as they held their supposedly superior opponents on the one yard line earlier in the game. The Armistice-Day game found the Orioles pitted against a fast Eaton LEE WEXDEL—Basketball and baseball were Lee’s sports. He lias won three letters in each and was awarded the captaincy of the 41-42 capers. Lee also received honorable mention on the all-state basketbal team for three successive years. C. II. S.

He tookOver the regular catching job his first year out for baseball ami did a swell job. Rapids eleven whose season’s record was unimpressive. But after the first half, records were forgotten, because the Cardinals had outplayed the stronger Charlotte teum by far. The second half looked brighter for the Orioles when Wellman scored on a seven yard plunge and Clever added the extra point, but Eaton Rapids came back in the last five minutes to tie the score and hand Charlotte a moral defeat. Outstanding In the Charlotte line during the season were Ed” Simek. Lawrence Hall and Bruce Garling- house. Simek. one of the best tackles in the conference, rugged, fast and hard- driving. was the mainstay in the Oriole line. Hall also starred defensively and was awarded the captaincy of the team. Garlinghouse. besides playing an outstanding defensive game, stood out as a pass receiver as well. He and Terwilliger were selected as All- conference players. Thirty Victories19 The baseball, football, and bctfket- hall teams of 41-42 are really hanging up an Impressive record as far as wins and losses go. To date they have lost but one athletic contest, that being in footbjJl when Grand I edge nipped them 14-6. The grid- ders lost 6. lost 1. and tied 1. The eager» were the most successful as they won 16 straight liasketball games before being stopped by Marshall at Albion. But during the regular sea- son they had a record of 14 victories without a defeat, while the basela.ll team so far this season has whipped Howell twice. Everett. Grand Ledge, and Eaton Rapids once each to ride the top of the standings with 5 suc- cessive wins. If the Orioles can re- main undefeated in liaseU.ll they will have finished the year with a total of 30 victories and only one loss which Is a very impressive record. The seniors on the squad were: Bruce Garlinghouse and Jack Hicks, ends: Ed. Simek. and Don Grier tackles: l.awrence Hall and Harold Cherry, guards: Frank Elies, center; Melvin Shaver. Don Bottomley. Bur- leigh Wellman, and Wayne Terwilli- ger. backs. 1942 Football Standings W. L. T.

The teams are made up of a senior as captain who chooses the rest of hi team from other lx ys interested in playing. This year the league was made up of six teams, with Don Griers Grunts finishing at the top of the standings and Eldon Dymonds Dopes running u close second. The Grunts started the season in the hole as they forfeited the first game because of lack of players. This put the Dopes in first place, but al»er a hard-fought battle between the two teams, the Dopes” yielded leaving the “Grunts on top. This posi.ion was held until Willard Mlkesell. high- scoring man for Grier's team went to Florida. While he was gone the Grunts lost a close contest to Hulls' Hunks again putting Dymond in first place. I ater another thrilling game was played between the Dopes' and Grunts which decided the Intra- mural title. With Don Bottomley and Mlkesell leading the way the Grunts upset the Dopes to become Intra- mural champions for 1942. All the teams fought hard but some lacked the luck of others. The other teams were: Simek’s Saps. Shaver's Shrimps. Smith's Smurties. and Hall's Hunks.” The season was a successful one with many boys displaying their talents and enjoying the experience. Burleigh Wellman was the indi- vidual scoring star for the season. Thinclads Complete Another Track Season I'nder the able direction and coach- ing of Malcolm Gobel. the Oriole thin- clads began another season. With five lettermen returning and many unexperienced l»oys out the prospect for a successful season were not too bright. The lettermen who returned are as follows: Bruce Garlinghouse. Jumes Mathews. Elwood Martin. Jack Thornton, and Jack Clever. An injured leg caused Clever to miss the first two meets but Jack Thornton, the other high Jumper, has cleared 5'6” twice already and appears to be the added strength to replace Clever. In their first meet of the season the Orioles lost to Hastings 55% to 48 4- Mathews and Garlinghouse ac- counted for 13 points apiece while Wagner and Ix rd starred for the Saxons. East Utnsing's strong track squad handed Charlotte their second set- back by a one-sided score of 77 to 26%. In the next meet the Orioles scored their first victory by whipping Okemos 66 -3 to 37%.

She readily revealed that her favorite subject has been French, and that it occupies most of her time. In the same breath with her likes, she said ”1 detest kid brothers and Greta Garbo.” (Where the con- nection lies is beyond me.) Jane loves china dogs and begs, borrows, or steals them, if need be.
