CROSWELL HIGH SCHOOL NINETEEN TWENTY-FIVE Foot Ball Football is a sport which is thought by some to be too rough to be considered as a High School sport. But boys like to be roughed up. Every real boy or man some time or other, wants to match his strength against another. Football is the best of all sports in which this can be done. But strength alone cannot make a football play- er. He must have skill and be a clear, quick thinker. In order to insure this the body and the mind must be in a healthy condition. It is the aim of Croswell ath- letes to attain both. CroswelPs football team for the past two years has been a success through the effic- ient coaching of Clarence Heemstra, and the effort of the boys. In the 1924 season, the team won four cut of nine games played, and came to a tie with Marlette. A terrible gale blew' during the game and football was almost impossible. A large number reported for practice the first night and enough for tw'o teams con- tinued to come out the rest of the season. Although over half of this years’ team is graduating, there are plenty of good men to take their places, and a good team is ex- pected next year. The following men received letters this year: Harold Gilbert (Captain), Dan Pow- ell, Homer Barlow, Norman Fuller, Kenneth Johnson, Leonard Wagner, David Decker, Everett Hill, Gordon Bubel, John Aitken, Bert Aitken, Gordon Briggs, Wesley Ferri- by, Raymond Hurley and How'ard Gilbert.

CROSWELL HIGH SCHOOL NINETEEN TWENTY-FIVE Boys' Basket Ball Croswell basket ball teams have played their part in athletics. It fills in the gap from football in the rail until baseball and track in the spring. We have always been near the lead if not leading in this sport. Xear the end of the 1924 season, the team had the honor and pleasure of taking part in the Basket Ball Tournament held at Mt. Pleasant. A large number of schools in the thumb were represented there. Croswell team was very small compared with the others of their class. Croswell won the first game but lost the second, which put them out of the tournament. The season of 1924-25 was a successful one, the team tying for championship with Brown City. Nine out of twelve games were won. The reason for the team’s success can be easily accounted for by saying that Clarence Heemstra was the coach. They also had four regulars from last year to start the season. The team grew steadily better as the season moved along, until near the close a real snappy game could be played with good team work. Good team work is what leads to victory. There was a large number out for prac- tice this year and a good team is expec- ted next year. Schedule Jan. 2... Yale 10 Croswell 12 Jan. 9... Port Huron 15 Croswell 7 Jan. 15...
