At this game Commerce was compelled to throw seven substitutes into the field, using but four varsity men throughout the entire game, a fact that might account for the high score against us. The following week, although no game was scheduled, the boys kept in practice by playing the Cleveland Heights team at Edgewater Park. In the clash we showed good form and defeated our opponents 21 to 5. The next week a game between the west side high schools, namely, Commerce and West, was played at Edgewater Park. As this game decided the championship of the high schools of the west side, Commerce tried its level best to win, but when the game was over the score stood in favor of West, 19 to 5. The last Senate game was played with Glenville High at Gordon Park. This was hard fought by both teams as neither had won a game up to that time. The play was clean, well executed, but Commerce went down to defeat in the hands of the Glenville team, by the score of 6 to 0. The last game of the season took place at Edgewater Park with St. Ignatius College. The greater part was played in the dark and Commerce lost to the fast St. Ignatius’ team by a score of 18 to 2. Commerce High was again awarded the “Stellar Championship” and accepted it with cheerfulness. Gameness and true spirit were the main qualities shown by the team, throughout the whole season. Although Commerce had a weak team it showed its true school spirit by going up against some of the oldest high schools of the city. Although the players received numerous injuries, they resumed play as soon as possible. Captain Hilberer ran the team in a way that showed his battles were well thought out. Although only one game was won by the team, the school showed its appreciation to the players for their hard work, and awarded the following with letters: Manager Bartunek, Captain Hilberer, Zak, Katz, Weintraub, Lebowitz. Kirk, Raus, Baxter, Kirian, Krause, Thacker, Broz, Kipstuhl and Gilbert. During Manager Bartunek’s sickness, Assistant Manager Cullen carried the w'ork on successfully. The prospects for a winning team for next year are bright, as eleven of this year’s players will be back at school. ©ur (Eoarlj MR. D. M. Evans, who is a graduate of Ohio Wesleyan University, coached the Commerce teams again this year, and will continue to do so next year. Mr. Evans is an all round player. His skill at basket ball was shown in the faculty game. We bespeak for him the hearty co-operation of the students in coming years. 92
