THE WITAN Page tlzirfy-sewer: yf,6',4,.7 Pffwu, Albert Cason, Captain Ralph Tichenor, Coach Richard Kemp, Manager 6753 'Vhe success of the Soccer Team of Charlotte Hirrh School for the Year 1933 was due to the splendid leadership of our Coach, Mr. Tich- enor and to the hearty support of every mem- ber on the team. Cooperation is of vital im- portance for the success of any organization, and I must say that that was one of the out- standing features of this group. As Captain of the Team, I wish to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to Mr. Tichenor and also to every member of the tcam for their loyal support. AI.Bl'2RT CASON The fellows that were on the team this year were the most eager to work of any group of fellows I have had in my coaching career. They worked hard and deserved everything they received. RALPH L. TICPIIQNOR, Coach. The sportsmanship displayed by the fellows is, in my mind the outstanding feature of this year's team. Their splendid co-operation with officials and their coach is the reputation that the fellows have built up for the school. DICK KEMP. Mmzagcr.

This year's Green and White reserve team was one of the strongest in the league and ended the season near the top of the heap. Bob Bowen was the scoring threat of the team with about 10 goals to his credit. Garrett's great de- fense work between the uprights kept many a goal from being scored. The members of the team were: Sabatino Agostinelli Robert Bowen Burtis Dougherty John Garrett Robert Godfrey Raymond Grant Lawrence Kavanaugh Richard Mawson Jack Pople Guy Reid Erwin 'Ward Richard Kemp David Wagner Lyle Klier RESERVE SEASON'S SCORES Charlotte ...,.......... l Charlotte ,,....,.....,. 0 Charlotte ,............. 6 Charlotte .............. 2 Charlotte .............. 3 Charlotte .............. l Charlotte .........,.... 3 Charlotte .....,...,.,.. 3 Charlotte .......,,..,., 3 John Marshall ...... l Madison .,.............. l Jefferson ......... 3 Monroe ........,.. 0 Vocational .........,.. 1 Edison Tech ....,.,. 2 East High .....

Charlotte scored in the opening minute and was never headed until the last minute when an East Rochester man sank a shot after the Brown and White team had slowly closed in on the Charlotte five. The weakening of the team in the last quarter, and the lack of scoring power lost the game for Charlotte but the boys have been working hard to correct their faults and hope to open the leagu season against East High School on December 8 with a win. CHARLOTTE-EAST HIGH A fine East High team beat out a strong Green and White five. The East High fellows were tall and their skill in getting the ball off the backboard provided the margin of victory. Boniield, rangy Charlotte center, was high scorer for the Lakesiders and McKissock's play was the feature of the game. When the whistle blew for the end of the game the Green and White were on the short end of a 29-19 score. 1 .
