JAMES L. RllCCll'll coa-Citi Coach Rich has made a place for him- self in the hearts of all the students in the schools of Columbus. Since he took charge of athletics our stock in that line has taken a big jump. Opponents have learned that a team coached by Professor Rich is always in the running. His efforts have always placed the C. H. S. near the top, a place we will continue to hold as long as he is with us. Mlliiigllaifz Qjapttaiiinisw Captain Miller led our football team through a successful season this year. He is a two letter man, having won his C in football and basket ball during the last two years. Chip's all-around ability, both in football and basket ball, made him a valu- able man. He's a Senior and will be greatly missed next year. Football '23, '24, Basket ball '24, '25. Captain Eggert of the basket ball team is a veteran of two years. He is also a heady football player and did most of our punting this year. He's another Senior whose place will be hard to fill. Basket ball '23, '25, Football '24. Captain Will Haney led our track squad this year. He is a versatile athlete, having won his C in basket ball, football and t1'ack. Bill has won a letter in foot- ball every season for the last three years. Captain Haney will be back next year. Football '22, '23, '24, Basket ball '24, Track '24. Captain Koch of the cross-country team was unable to compete because of serious illness. However, he placed third last year in the state cross-country tryouts so we can be sure he would have placed high in the ranks. He also is a Senior whose absence will be noticed. Cross Country '23, '24, Track '24. Captain Lohr, captain-elect for football, is a two-year letter man and one of the best in that line, having been mentioned by several papers in their all-state choice. Lohr is one of the hardest plungers ever developed by the C. H. S. He has another year yet to add to his laurels. Football '23, '24. Captain Nickolite, elected captain of next year's basket ball team, is another of our three letter men. He was a high point man of the basket ball squad and he rarely missed a basket. Nickolite was also one of our football stars this year. He has two more years of athletics. Football '24, Basket ball '25. Captain Eicher, who leads our next year's cross-country squad, is still another who excels in three major sports. He placed third this year in the state cross-country tryouts. He is also a member of last year's track squad and this year's basket ball squad. Cross-country '24, Basket ball '25g Track '24, Captain Keating, chosen to lead our next year's track team, is another whose athletic ability is not confined to one line. He is one of the mainstays of our basket ball team and took second honors in scoring. Opposing guards found him to be a dangerous opponent when anywhere near the basket, He is a Junior this year. Bas- ket ball '25g Track '24, '25.
