Kneeling: lstudent THE FRESHMAN TEAM ENGAGES FOES A Freshman team was organized for the first time at Culver this year. Culver did have a C team which was made up of both freshmen and sophomores, but this new team is only for freshmen. The main purpose of this group is to give as many boys as possible a chance to devel- op in basketball. lt gives them another year of experience like that of the Junior High teams, and prepares them for the B-team. Their practice sessions are integrated with the B-team two nights a week. The Freshman team had a six game sche- dule this year playing Argos two times, Bourbon, Aubbeenaubbee, Winamac, and Plymouth. They also played in a four-way tourney with Argos, Talma, and Aubbee- naubbee the other schools participating. Next year's plans call for a full l6 game schedule, plus the four-way tourney. The letter winners on this year's Freshman team are Richard Calhoun, Terry Cavender, Art Eskridge, Don Hand, Larry Holston, Charles Hardin, and Denny Geiger. Terry Cavender, Richard Calhoun, Arthur Eskriclge, Mr. Pedersen lcoachl. Standing: Harold Schmidt managerl, Donald Hand, Dennis Geiger, Charles Hardin, Larry Holston. 6l

INDIANS SPARKLE ON THE DIAMOND On September IO, I956, the fall base- ball season opened with our Culver Indians facing the Bourbon Comets on our diamond. Pinky Middleton pitched for Culver while Schuh hurled for Bourbon. The opposing team took advantage of our non-hitting ln- dians and returned home with a 3-O victory. Tippecanoe played their home game here on September I3. Hurrah! Our tribe won. The score was Culver I8, Tippy 2. Dave Washburn brought in a homer for Culver on September I7 when we played against West High School. We took that game for our second victory with a score of I9 to 5. On September 20 our Indians traveled to Tyner to gain another victory. Middleton and Washburn took turns on the mound for Culver, while Ross and Cochran pitched for Tyner. Our tribe again took to the road on Sep- tember 24 when they met the LaPaz Vikings on the LaPaz diamond in a high-scoring game. Jim Downs collected a homer for the Indians and Weiss hit a home run for the Vikings. The Indians returned home with another victory, the final score being Culver 23, LaPaz I4. Our Indians went hunting for Green Dra- gon scalps in the final clash of the season, but ended up as the victims themselves. The Dragons brought in I8 runs and with this chalked up a 6-O record. All in all, the Indians enjoyed an out- standing season, winning four, and losing only two. s The season's schedule was as follows: C.H,S. Opp. Bourbon .... ....... O 3 Tippy ..... .......
