Q FOOTBALL, 1945-46 The 1945 Polar Bears fared none too well in last fall's football wars, but nevertheless showed a fighting spirit which would have been good enough to win with in other years. Playing four ot the top claimants to the myth- ical state championship- Muskegon Heights, Muskegon, Catholic Central, and South, our Powers' models were never rated an outside chance. Our Bears surprised everyone when we held the ultimate state champions, Muskegon Heights, to a 9 to O score. The following week, o power-packed Catholic Central team showed that it had too many big guns as it rolled to a 34 to 7 score. One week later, we played our best game ot the season, but just didn't have the balance and power to match South's 32 points, We managed to score 6, but just didn't get the breaks. Because of our showing against South, we were tavored to take Otta- wa but it was the same story as they took us to the tune of 18-7. The tollowing week found us making the trek to Muskegon where the Big Reds really laid it on to our out- manned, outweighed, and outplayed squad 41 -O. We came back to Grand Rapids with blood in our eyes and had Central beaten until their last half spurt brought them a i3 - T3 tie. Came the season finale, which tound Union adding insult to our previous iniuries by shutting us out 20 - O. We placed tour men on the all-city second team. They were linemen, Roger Proos and Bob Van Ringiesteyn and backs Lou Harrison and Ray Flanders. T F .. T sf!

This year's squad with eight veterans returning is built around Ray Flanders, our mound ace, and a strong infield. The infield places Lou Harrison back in his hot corner spot, with Bill Moroski and Jim Command at shortstop and second base, taking up where they left off last year as the class of second base combination in this area. Joe Steinport, a third baseman last year, patrols around first base. The outfield consists of .lim Parsaca, Jack Wil- son, Ray Stefaniak, Glenn Ogden, and Bob Kim- merle, everyone a ball-hawk with a good arm. Backing up Flanders are Bill Viergiver, Bruce Doane, Norman Chesbrough, and Jack Babb. These boys are all back next year giving us a nice outlook. Behind the plate we find catchers Rog Proos, senior, Dick Stevens, Dick Walsh, and Bill Vance. Rounding out the squad are iunior infielders John Schildhouse at first, and a future double play combine of Joe Davis and Jack Foster. l, Ray Pig, Flanders rears back. 2.

TRACK TEAM The thinclads from Creston had the same spirit this spring, but they too lacked the manpower to produce a well balanced squad. We were blessed with a handful of first place winners, but couldn't scrape up enough seconds and thirds to make our firsts mean anything. Captained by Don Bresnahan, the city's number one broad and high jumper, the Van Wingen coached crew won one and lost tive dual meets. We were potricularly strong in the Held events, where we really shone. Jack Rose and Albert Rasikas, sophomores, were consistent winners in the half-mile and the dashes respectively. Freeman Billock, last spring's city mile champ was lost to the squad after the first meet due to an iniury. Bob Stegmier in the shot put, Neil Vander Mass in the pole-vault, along with Dick Miller, Mick Boylen, and Dick Smith in the hurdles were all in on the point making.
