BASEBALL The Coplay High School Baseball team has completed the most successful season since baseball appeared on the list of athletics in C. H. S. Coach Deily had full charge of the baseball team and it was under his personal guidance that the team reached so high a point. The team consisted of the following men: Norwood Morgan, who did mound duty throughout the season, while R. Morgan was our young and able backstop. The infield consisted of the following: George Gernerd (Captain) covered the initial sack, while Michael Shettler and Stanley Anthony covered ground about the keystone sack, and R. Lilly held down the hot corner. The outfield was made up of three capable players, including R. Wehr in left, C. Gernerd in center, and L. Schaadt in right-field. Two of our most important games were those played against East Greenville, at East Greenville, on Saturday, April 10th, and the Northampton II. S. game, played at Northampton. Coplay captured both games, but it was only after some hard playing and that “never say die spirit” which our team possessed. The Varsity lineup: C.—R. Morgan; P.—X. Morgan; lb.—G. Gernerd (Capt.) ; 2b.—M. Shettler; s. s.—S. Anthony; .‘lb.—R. Lilly; 1. f—R. Wehr; c. f.—C. Gernerd; r. f.—L. Schaadt.

BASK ETBALI The Coplay High School Basketball team has completed the most strenuous season and although most of the games were lost, the Coplay High School boys did not lose in an unfair way but always after a fierce struggle and a fair game. The C. H. S. had not been represented in basketball since Coach Abernathy had charge of the squad. Basketball was encouraged again, however, this year, by Coach Wink and also Coach Doily, who put forth a great deal of effort and thus placed a team on the fit or which represented the C. II. S. Practice was held in the Holy Trinity Church gymnasium at Northampton, due to the lack of a gymnasium in our town. The lineup:— P. Charles Gernerd F. George Gernerd G. Louis Schaadt (Capt.) G. R. Lilly G. R. Wehr — S. Anthony — X. Morgan — L. Reinhart — II. Hotter The most important game of the season was played at Whitehall against the strong Whitehall II. S. quintet.
