Center, Captain ALBER DALE XVILLI llARoL ADOLP Mehlhous proved to be one of the season's best scorers and it was around him that the offense was centered. Always guarded by at least two men. the big fellow came through and pulled many a game out of the tire. Handicapped by playing a new position and having to adjust himself to new team-mates, Wes proved adapt and won the admira- tion for the way in which he fitted into the new combination. T ERBE, Forward Playing his second year at the forward position, Erbe more than held up his side of the floor. Rangy and fast, with a good eye for the basket, Al was at all times a dan- gerous man to his opponents. As he is fast on offense, such is true on defense. and more times than not saw this flashy player gain possession of the ball in enemy terri- tory and dribbled down the floor where the ball could be handled by his team-mates. STEWART, Forward Stewart is the smallest man on the team but sticks to his man like a leech and is just as elusive when in possession of the ball. He possesses a good eye for the basket and coupling this with the fact that he is a wonderful floor man, makes his presence of real value to the team. Tab is playing his first year as a Freshman and has three more years of competition for Dysart High. AM CLARK, Guard Billie, the fastest man on the team, was likewise the best sticker to his man. Though small, he could out-jump many of his opponents who were much taller. Toward the end of the season he developed a good eye for the basket which made him a man to be feared. ln the finals of the County Tourney, Billie held Pinkerton, Traer's star for- ward, scoreless, a season's accomplishment. n ZOBEL, Guard Preventing such teams as Dysart High met during the past year from scoring is a real job. Butch had such a job and handled it well. Few short shots were made past him, because of his ability to choose the right defensive tactics under any condition. Injured in the early part of the season, he had to favor his arm, but no favors were given when the game was close and opposing forwards were attempting close shots. ii MOELLER, Guard Foodie, playing his first year of competition, had a real job on his hands, playing both the guard and forward positions. He made a great showing in either position and toward the close of the season was playing a good share of each game. Toodie handled the ball in exceptional style and usually came out of the scramble with the ball in his possession. LEE H EckRoTH Lee, the only letter man lost by graduation, but his leaving means the loss of depend- able reserve. Although not as fast as his mates, he understood team play and could be depended upon to nll most any position left open by the regulars. Lee's presence has been a bolster to the morale of the team and his loss will be keenly felt. WALTER GOKEN A new man to the team this year, Wallie has convinced the most exacting fan that he has fight and ability necessary for a real basket ball player. Bucking the proposition that a team composed of last year's stars were available, Wallie battled hard and won his letter. Next year should see this classy player holding down a regular berth. EARL GRIFFITH Handicapped by size, this man proved that determination and brains will usually win out. When injury to Zobel, the regular standing guard, left the team adrift in this department, Grip came through and Hlled the job most pleasingly. Another man who will battle for Dysart High next year. LAWRENCE LALLY Lawrence is another of the men who have donned the Purple and Gold for the last time. This man probably has been deprived of a regular berth because of hard luck. Last year as he was rounding into form an attack of the flu laid him out for the season. This lack of training made it necessary that he learn the whole system of play that had become second nature to the rest of the team. The games that Lally played in, he showed some nne floor work and a keen eye for the ring. ., at .L C me, 4.5.1 fs' C Z7 T' 'F '1 -'J' U-5 6.157-F: Cu' ' 0f'qf'f-X3 A. 'P U0 Qtr' 4 of

Q of Maze Mall Base ball, a sport that has not been a major at Dysart High for several years, was again brought into prominence last year. When Coach Trieshman arrived last fall, Manager Dawson had arranged a schedule for the autumn season. Games were played with Blairstown and Geneseo, three of which were turned into victories. ln the spring and again this fall, games were arranged with these teams and all games won but one. A record hard to beat. The team led on the field last year by Captain Erbe at short stop was a good Gelding as well as a hard-hitting outfit. This year Lawrence Lally, who has been the mainspring of the team from the pitcher's box, was elected captain, and if pre- dictions can be made at this time, we would say that he will lead his team through as good a season as Dysart has enjoyed in a long time. The team as composed at the end of the fall season was: Capt. Lally. .Pitcher and Second Base Clark .......... . . .Third Base Messer ........ ..............
