Ep... ...ug IB. m .H..Tg nmnwnha nn lagerz The following comments on the players are offered by lVlr. Peet: Captain Ole Reimer is the best and most experienced player on the team. lle has held a position during each year of his high school course. He has not only been able to get the tip-off most of the time, but he has been the high-point getter of the team. The rival teams have all adopted the motto, Get 'Ole'! but they have been unable to get him. Alvin Ackerman is the only other experienced man on the team. At guard he offered an impregnable defense and often slipped down for a basket. l-le always played up in a tight place. Wesley Mehlhouse was given the guard's position and more than made good. lfle was the joy of his team-mates and the Dysart fans, and the terror of his op- ponents. I-le is strong enough to hold his own and displays excellent headwork. Ile will be the backbone of the team next year. Albert Erbe at forward made an enviable record. Although light and inexperi- enced, he played like a veteran. He can be depended upon to take care of his position next year. ' His team-mate, Haners Lorenzen, was also a new man who won his letter without difficulty. He was able to throw ringers from almost any position and in spite of all interference. We are sorry to lose Haners from our ranks. The two substitute players, Walter Cold and Floyd Stahr, crowded the first string men for places in the regular line-up. ln fact, in all fairness, Walter should be counted a first team man. Ile played in most ol' the games and he made good on every occasion. The illness of Alvin Ackerman made a place for another man in the Hrst seven. This place was very ably filled by Billie Clark. He will be in the line-up next year. xr rark Because of the short season, track was taken up in place of base ball. This is the first time that this sport was ever tried in D. H. S., but under the supervision of Coach Barnes a team is being turned out that could be considered fair. A home meet was held and medals awarded to the three highest point winners. Only one other meet was taken in, that being at Toledo on the Hrst annual play day of the Tama county schools. The home meet was held on the 5th of May, and the following events were run off: Event No. l, l00-yard dashg event No. 2, shot put: event No. 3, high jump: event No. 4, 100-yard walkg event No. 5, discus, event No. 6, 220-yard dashg event No. 7, broad jump: event No. 8, standing broad jumpg event No. 9, pole vaultg event No. IO, 440-yard dash.

Ep-H... .............Ej El,.............. .......El GRUNDY CENTER 18- DYSART 30 After losing the Gladbrook game we knew that we would have a hard game with our next opponent, that being Grundy Center, on their floor. We came home with the long end of the score, having given them a severe beating. This was the second defeat IH two years that Grundy had encountered on their own floor, Traer being the other town to accomplish such a feat. Morrison, their star man, was held to two baskets. , SPRINGVILLE Zl - DYSART 34 On February 4 Springville came to Dysart for the return game. We were de- termined to keep up the record of not losing a game on the home floor that had been established before us. The game was fast from start to Hnish, and Spring- ville had to be content with the short end of the score. The fast floor work of the Dysart forwards, and an occasional basket from the center of the floor by Nlehl- house were the big factors in our victory. BELLE PLAINE I0-DYSART 35 The following week after the Springville game, Belle Plaine journeyed to Dysart for a return game. Having lost at Belle Plaine we determined to make things even. Captain Reimer was forced out of the game in the first ten minutes, but this did ?ot stop Dysart from getting the baskets. The final score ended 35 to I0 in our avor. LA PORTE I3-DYSART 25 We traveled to La Porte on February 13 to play our return game. The Hrst half ended 19 to 5 in favor of Dysart. La Porte came back strong in the second half, but we succeeded in coming home with the long end of the score. GLADBROOK 17 - DYSART 30 The last home game of the season was played with Gladbrook. We determined to even things with this team also, because they had defeated us before. The game was rough from beginning to end, but we succeeded in taking the long end of the score. Every substitute was used and for this reason the score was kept down. i VINTON Z5-DYSART 40 We closed our season on the Vinton floor in a game with the quintet from that city. We were forced to play on a small floor, but this did not seem to bother our men. The final score ended in our favor with a hfteen point lead. W An Appreriatinn We, the basket ball team of Dysart High School, wish to take this opportunity to thank the patrons of the school that have so liberally supported us this season and generously helped in a Hnancial way in the purchasing of honor sweaters for us. There is nothing we could say that would express our thanks and appreciation, but we hope that the teams of D. H. S. in the future will be treated as well. WALDO REIMER, ALBERT ERBE, HANERS LoRENzEN, WESLEY MEHLHOUSE, ALVIN ACKERMAN, WALTER COLD, FLOYD STAHR, WILLIE CLARK. Fifi-1'-TWO
