With only eight lettermen back. Mathews. Snyder. Mac- Donald. Gordon. Clever. Willard. Thornton, and Nicol. the Orioles were looking forward to nothing better than a mediocre season. With help from many new lioys. the squad cam through the season with a record oi five wins, two losses and one tie. In the five conference games played the Orioles won all the games except a tie with Grand I edge. thereby taking the Capitol Circuit Conference title Mathews and MacDonald were Char- lotte's two main offensive men. Mathews stepped around the ends and MacDonald smashed through the cen- ter of the line. When the defenses tightened up on the running attack. Mathews would flip short passes to Radee. the Oriole’s fast stepping left end. By mixing up these powerful offensive weapons, the Orioles kept their opponents guessing as to where they would strike next. Orioles Meet Lakeview in Opener Journeying to Lakeview for theii first game of the season, the Orioles met with defeat by the score of 20-6 Charlotte opened the game with a fast, hard charging attack to score in the early minutes of play. However, in the second quarter. Lakeview began a passing attack and scored twenty points in the quarter. After the half both teams were held scoreless and the game ended. 20-6 in favor of Lakeview. The following week Lake Odessa came to Charlotte to be sent home de- feated after a game in rain and snow. Mathews, the Orioles’ fast halfback, started the game by running the ball ninety yards for a touchdown. From the time the first whistle blew. Char lotte did most of the hall handling and the visitors couldn’t seem to get started. The Orioles walked away with a 26-0 victory. For the third game, the boys jour- neyed to Mason and. using a strong passing and running attack, crushed Mason 32-6. As the season wore on the Oriole gridmen showed a steady improve- ment. They met an overrated Grand Ledge eleven on the Ledge home field and were held to a scoreless tie. For four full quarters they pushed each other back and forth across the gridiron, but both teams were unable to cash in on scoring opportunities. Next they came up against the Hast- ings Saxons and met with the second and last put-back of the season. The Saxon gridmen. under the steady, hard running of Wilcox, crossed the Oriole goal twice and made both extra points for a total of 14 points. Charlotte seemed to l o the hard luck team of the evening as they had two touchdowns called back and had the hall within the Hastings 10 yard line several times but were unable to score. Following this game, the Orioles came hack fighting mad to get revenge for the defeat. Under a hard hitting running attack, they smashed through the Howell line for seven touchdowns and made four extra points for a total of 46. Meanwhile they held the Howell team to 12 points with a hard charging defensive game. A week later the Charlotte gridmen met the Everett Vikings for a final polish up before the all important Ar 18 mist ice day game. The Orioles, be- hind the steady running and plunging of Mathews and MacDonald, defeated the Vikings 32-7. Brown Jug Returns On Armistice day the Orange At Black met Eaton Rapids for the an- nual game. The Orioles, seeming to play under a jinks every year, came through with a 13-0 victory. From the minute the first whistle sounded, most of the game was played on Eaton Rapids territory. During the first quarter, both teams fought for some advantage. In the second quarter, the Orioles started a march for the Eaton Rapids goal line but were stopped when they got within the ten yard line by a fifteen yard penalty. The half ended a few minutes later. Physical Fitness Program Comes into High School Starting the second semester a phy- sical fitness program was established In the high school. All hoys who are juniors or seniors or who are seven- teen years of age are required to take it. It was established by the l S. government to get young boys who are eligible for military service In better physical condition. The training consists of many dif- ferent things. At first the boys learn- ed to march under the direction of Edward Morey, who is now a lieuten- ant in the armed forces. They were taught all different commands und how to execute them. This is some- thing that will he very helpful during the basic training in the armed forces which all the boys will soon he entering. Besides this they have been taking strenuous exercise every day. They are given drills that strengthen all of the muscles of the body, such as nush ups, null uns. squat juntos, set uns. etc. The Navy physical test is given the first of every month so as to tell how much improvement there is per month. Since spring weather has arrived the work has been out of doors. There is a seven foot wall which the hoys have to scale at least twice a day. Another part Is to climb a rope and go hand over hand across a ladder and down another rope. Stick and horse-and-rider relays are run and then five laps around the playground. Most of the boys know that this training is for their own good and may someday save their lives: there- fore they work hard to get the most out of it that they possibly can. Wolves Win Title The Championship title for the 1943 intramural basketball season went to the Wolves, who were captained by Loren Wilmore. The Intramural sea son. under the direction of Mr. Grin dall. proved to be a very successful one and a close one. The Long Johns led by Leon Wood and the Wolves were In a close race for first place throughout the season. There were five teams taking part in this sport. The win ners will have their name engraved on the Dale Smith Memorial Trophy. The standings were as follows: W L Wolves ................... 6 2 Long Johns ............... 5 3 Panthers ................. 5 3 Sandy Sanders ............ 5 Rambling Wrecks ...........0 8 In the third quarter both teams fought hard as the end of the game drew near. Early In the fourth quart- er. Eaton Rapids was forced to kick from near their goal line. Mathews took the hall, hut fumbled, picked the hall up. and with excellent blocking, made the first touchdown of the game. Near the end of the fourth quarter the Islanders were desperately pass ing from their goal line. After one or two unsuccessful attempts. Jack (Mov- er intercepted a pass on the fifteen yard line and galloped across for the final touchdown of the game. The game and the season ended a few min- utes later with the Orioles defeating Eaton Rapids 13-0. Robert Van Alstine, '42. who is in the Naval Air Corps, is now stationed at Pensacola. Fla. Harold Wilson appeared in the newsreel at the Eaton Theatre. Tues- day. Wednesday, and Thursday, while “Bambi was showing. 18 Nl
