The Wildcats that donned the Scarlet and Grey for the 1945 season were bursting with determination to overcome the batting slump which threw them off stride last year, and were, for the most part, successful. Their low batting average of .125 for the 1944 season had to be increased for the 1945 squad to have c: winning season, and their eFforts were iustiftedt With the other departments being handled by experienced men, the pitching staff was to be the deciding factor on which either defect or victory was to be hinged. Krenntng, Neu, and Henneman proved to be the right combination in the infield, while Benhase tackled the catching problems. McGruw, Thompson, and Crowe were planted 'In the outpastures, and Alcorn, Mersch, and Rohmon completed the pitching staff. 28

V. teams to wear the scarlet and grey for several years. Their win-ondeloss record is the best proof as to their ability. The best proof of the real determination to win their games was given by the many close games that they won. To test a fighting team you took at the games that had close scores, and in almost every instance, the Deer Park boys returned a victory. These players are bound to make the efforts of the varsity coach for the 1945-46 season much easier. Many times during the season they were the subiect of very favorable remarks by visiting coaches and spectators. This team finished very high in the league, and showed very good against a team that represented one of the largest high schools in the city of Cincinnati. Six players could really be listed as regulars. They were led by HRazor Rasch, and he proved to be a very popular leader, as well as one of the finest players on the team. Joe Thormcm and Johnnie Ross formed the remainder of the forward strength, while the guard positions were capabty taken care of by Johnnie Jackson and Pete Understein. CHH Cordell played the center position and proved to be one of the best atl-oround players on the team. Coach Carr also had many other players on hls reserve squad, and practically every one of these boys showed a great deal of promise of developing into future court stars. 27
