Charlotte Shares Capital Circuit Honors ♦----------------- Orioles Lose Only One Contest in Schedule; Comets Share Title December 3. the Charlotte Orioles Journeyed to Lakeview for the open- ing game of the basketball season. The new Lakeview gymnasium was dedicated earlier in the evening. Charlotte’s lack of height was em- phasized when no player on the team was six feet tall, although Walters and Steward closely approached that mark. The game was close all the way. hut when the final whistle blew. Charlotte led 24 to 22. Jim Mathews' pair of charity tosses was the Oriole lead. Hicks and Mathews garnered In twenty of Charlotte’s points. The Lakeview baskets were evenly distri- buted among their players. On December 10. the local hoys played their first home game with a formidable Everett five. Never was Charlotte's lack of height more plain lhan in this game. Cornett. Bullion and Uhl all stretched over six feet. But Coach Gobel's boys showed a righting spirit, and played a eagy enough game to win . 35 to 28. In this rough game only one substitute saw action. The following Tuesday night. Grand Ledge played host to the Orange Black squad. A very close game re- sulted. hut the Orioles emerged the victors by the qcore of 30 to 27. Steward and Mathews divided the scoring honors with eleven points each. Orioles Romp Over Howell On Friday night. December 17. the Oriole quintet entertained the High- landers and easily won by the score of 56 to 31. The Charlotte boys hit a dizzy scoring pace that reached its climax in the second quarter when they scored nineteen points. Whitak- er. rangy Howell center, led the scoring honors with sixteen points closely followed by Hicks, who made fifteen. In the first game of 1944. the home quintet played the Mason five here. January 7. The local hoys, still hot from the previous Howell victory, ran the score up to 64-37. Everyone on the Charlotte bench saw action, j Dick Hicks, left forward, scored twen- ty-two points. Eaton Rapids fell into the defeat list on the Coach Gohel's score hook the following Friday. His team led 58 to 18 when the final whistle blew. Tuesday. January 18. the Orioles were defeated for the first time by a rejuvenated Spartan quintet. 30 to 23. Home Court Proves Jinx A “home court jinx” seemed to pre- vail over the Orioles after this game. The lack of consistent team play and the lack of capitalizing on the op- ponent’s blunders spelled defeat to them for the first time In the basket- ball season. January 21. the Charlotte five play- ed host to a determined Comet squad and lost the decision 29 to 30. The Orioles lost Jimmy. “Mike . Mathews with the Grand Ledge game. “Mike topped off three full years of service, not only in basket- hull. but In football and track as well, by playing in championship form, both on offense and on defense. Charlotte played at Everett. Jan- uary 28. and threw off a two game losing streak by downing the Vikings 41 to 33. The game see-sawed back and forth until the fourth quarter, when the Orioles drove forward in championship form by making eleven points and holding Everett three. This game marked the appearance of two new C. H. S. cagers. Bob .Mohre. 120 pound freshman, who play- ed a brilliant offensive passing and defensive game at forward and Don Moore, a sophomore, who played a fast game und made a good Impress- ion as a defensive guard. Unbeaten Hastings Upset Charlotte eked out a close victory over the previously unbeaten Hast- ings Saxons at Hastings. February 1. The Orioles led at the half by the score of 14 to 11. with Ray and Bob Mohre and Wayne Steward doing the scoring honors. During the third «uarter Charlotte rang the bell for fifteen points and led 29 to 19. Hast- ings came back with fighting deter- mination and came within one point of the Orioles’ score before the whistle blew, leaving the final score 29 to 28. On February 11. the local squad met the Eaton Rapids quintet and walked away with an easy 33 to 19 victory. Tlie following Friday the Orioles squeezed out a 37 to 36 victory over ORIOLE PERSONALITIES When your roving reporter finally caught this well-known senior lad. he was quite tired from the exertions of looking in classes and chasing about the halls. “Curly laughingly consented ta answer all questions. When asked about his favorite sport he replied: “Basketball rates highest with me. [ closely followed by tennis. His favorite entertainment seems to be the “White Rabbit . When asked about women he mentioned that he appreciated beauty. Girls beware! His ambition Is to be a mechanical engineer. He is usually seen with “Adolph”, “Trenchy”, and “Bud . If you haven’t guessed it yet. you will not be sur- prised to learn that it is Ned Wal- ters. Oriole Fledging This popular freshman has won letters in basketball, football, and track. He is rather short and does lack weight, hut his speed and de- ception atone for his size. When asked about his favorite past- time he mentioned Marshall. Olivet, and Bellevue. You all know him. gang; it’s Bob Mohre. Howell at the loser's court. Each team assumed the lead several times during the game, hut each time the other managed to make the necessary points to tie. Finally Ned Walters, big right guard, put in a jump push shot that put the Orioles ahead by one point and won the game. February 25. the Charlotte quin- tet entertained the Saxon squad for a return game. Hastings, stung by the 29 to 28 defeat on their home court, played an exciting game. A see-saw battle raged for the first three quart- ers. The Hastings squad made a small lead that was overcome just before the final whistle blew. The score was 25 to 25. but Hastings managed to make one more basket than the Orioles so the score book registered a 30 to 29 defeat. Charlotte Journeyed to Mason on February 22 to beat the Maroons again, hut this time with a closer score. Hicks led the individual scoring with sixteen points, hut Wal- ters’ timely shooting near the end of the game from his new post at center helped immeasurably in winning the game. District Tournament Held Here The State Athletic Association se- lected the Charlotte gymnasium for the district tournament. March 3. Olivet played Bellevue, and Nash- ville played St. Phillips of Battle Creek, all class C schools; Ktton Rap- Ids played Lakeview and Charlotte played Hastings in Class B. Hastings topped the Orioles by five points, the final results were: Hastings—34; Charlotte—29. This game was typical of the usual Char lotte-Hastlngs games, with the lead changing to and fro many times. Lakeview more than doubled the score on the helpless Cardinals. The Spartans freely used their substitutes. In a thrilling overtime, the Lake- view five battled a stubborn Hast- ings team to a score of 37 to 36. thus giving the Spartans the district championship in the class B bracket. St. Phillips of Battle Creek also swamped the Olivet team, thus win- ning the district championship in the class C division. The Cross-country team ran against Lansing Eastern twice this year. Al- though beaten each time. Charlotte managed to win a place. In the State meet held at Ypsilantl, Russell De- Laml placed third.

He has been a resi- dent of Charlotte for two years and during this time has contributed much in the building up of his church. Mr. Smith s talk centered mainly around the history and background of the Bible. He brought out several Interesting facts concerning the pecul- iarities and oddities of the Bible. A few points of interest mentioned by him were: that there was a lapse of five hundred years between the Old and New Testaments during which time nothing at all was written, that the Bible is sixty-six individual lawks with nearly forty different authors. Mr. Smith also related to the class u fascinating story concerning an American missionary in a Russian con centration camp. It seems that the missionary distributed several hun- dted Bibles to the prisoners in the camp which were immediately torn up by thejn into numerous pieces. Naturally his first thought was what a waste of precious money and time this venture had been. But upon clos- et observation he found that the Russ- ians had torn the Bibles up into sec- tions und given each a small bit of the wondrous book to keep for his own. H. R. McCall To Fort Custer ► Gains Valuable Information Aiding Future Inductees for Army Life Supt. Harlan McCall was one of one hundred five “recruits who began a new life at Fort Custer. Wednesday night. September 22. These “recruits were superintendents from many Michigan high schools and were after information that will be an advantage to all high schools in fitting eighteen and nineteen year old boys for mili- tary training when inducted into the armed forces. Like all new inductees, their first night at the Fort was taken up by listening to orientation talks and movies. Then they Journeyed to the barracks for the night. Lieutenant Colonel Campbell, post commander of Fort Custer, and other officials planned a full day of inter- esting material. Thursday morning there were more speeches, information and observation as to the fitting of clothing for the men. tests, arranging for insurance and other details. A thorough study of a boy’s private life helps determine the division of service for each. The superintendents observed some of these interviews. Chow was ready for the recruits' in the mess hall at dinner time. Observation of the infiltration course, the using of firearms and ex- plosives to train the boys for the dangers of war; the jujitsu training. (Continued on page four)
