HHail to the champions of 1914! When Jack Grim led his band of allrstar ball tossers to the championship of the secondary colleges he only fulfilled the expectations of the school and the whole state. They knew the caliber of the team that had won the championship the- year before and had tasted the results of Jackis coaching. The 1914 team was absolutely dependable. Little breaks against them only seemed to spur them on to greater efforts. Brilliant iiashes featured a few games, but most of the seasoxfs success may be traced to steady, consistent playing. But ten men made the varsity. This shows the stellar work of the respective players. One member of the team deserves special mention. Vthn iiPat'i Patterson graduated there was consternation as to Who should take. his place. Sisson solved the problem. Bearing the brunt of the whole season and playing in every game, he proved himself a credit to the Old Gold. The season opened here with Franklin This was an easy victory. During the Spring we split even with State Normal, lost to Purdue, won three out of four from Wabash, cleaned up with Earlham and Butler, and defeated Rose Poly twice.
