HE l'oothall tJilIll of East High has just completed one of its most sueeesstnl years in the short history of our school. t'oaeh Reisner realized that he was working against odds because of the fact lhat only six of last y 111-3; squad were left. namely. Rosenstiel. Bangham. Layport. Bauer. Smith. and Grad. With these men as a nucleus, Coach started practice two weeks before the opening of sehool and soon had things running,r in fine order. At the first call for new material over fifty men responded. later being reduced to a squad of thirty-six. whieh was earried throughout the entire season. Our captain, Charles Layport. Furnished the leadership which a team needs. and as let't-taekle more. than held up his position. At right-taekle was Rosenstiel with his bulk of 198 pounds. ttRosiell also played in the haek-lield doing all the kicking and carrying the ball when neeessary. At the ends. Bauer, Bangham, and l-Voods added more strength to the team. This quartetle was a lifesaver to the Coach, for he always had two good men ready to relieve the others. The guard positions were well taken care of by Greene and Moeser. and with Glaxier at center, East High had a line of which it might be proud. The most difficult position on the team was held by Eddie lVohlwender, that of the quarterhaek. Although very light, he made up for it by his fine judgment on the field. At the other backfield positions were Allen. Ferris. and Coleman. all of whom could earrj a ball to per- fection. Lashhrook, Smith, Han, and Rinnner were always waiting to relieve when neeessm;r and played a very creditable game. The last of the letter men is Aaron Grad who x 115; forced out of the game early in the season with a broken ankle. The other members of the squad were Destler. Dye, Everett, Carpenter, Robinson, DIeIlvain, Colwell, Kmeneke. lVilson,Arand, Raymond. Banmgartner. Diehle, Hopewell, Donnelly. Flagge, Raitt. and Long. All Of these men will be out to make next yearls team a big success. Everyone remembers the Hughes game and how we were reduced to suhjeetion. hut even though losing the boys have gained something greater than vietm'y; fairness, squareness, and self control. There is also a saying. Revenge is sweet. and as we lose only five men this year by graduation, we will he out for full glory next year. The season was closed with a banquet at Layportk home in Lovelantl, and then a few weeks later ll? a banquet given in the school by the Juniors and Seniors. GROFF STOXER. Manage1292

Basket Ball T the 'Elil for basket hull candidates this past season, more than fifty prospects responded, including A four letter men, and several members of the Femnd team of last year. However, none of the players were certain of a ptace 0n the team, SO the fight for one of the first five positions was hard. but. friendly. East showed rare. form. when we trounced Milford, Detz Q2, the first game of the season at East High, but at Aurora we, were beaten on the home team floor. The hrst game after the holidays was with Ohio Military Institute mi our ftoor. This proved to be quite an interesting game, but our boys pulled through at the end. and were, victors by a t'tUSe score. The next week we traveled to the t'nivereity 0f tiineinnati to play Hughesi The game, was apparently ours. until the last few minutes of play, when Hughes dropped sex'erut baskets, which won the game for them, by a few points. Defeats were hunched together this year. for on Jan. .20, Wumlward trimmed us on their Honr. The next night Humiltnn tank a rinse and exciting game away from 115. at Hamilton. The fourth of our string of' defeats was administered to us by St. Xavier, the t'nth'ming week. Examination were held during the first week of February, and the results were, tiaptain Rosen- steil mu! Banghalm ineligible, and Dick Bray and Spike HutterHetd rm the first string list. Bray was appointed tiaptain 0f the remodelled team. which defeated Hughes. in our gym, in an exciting contest. The week following we were entered in the Tournament at I . of C. We won three games, which was better than any other city school rticl, except St. Xavrer, who was eliminated at the, same time as we. On Feb. 24-. we. turned tables on tVnmlward. and white we were beating Norwond the next week. we tea med that Hughes had defeated 'Woodward. makmg a triple tie among the city schools. We drew Hughes in the first game of the series, and were defeated in a disheartening game. Although we did not win the Championship, we believe that our team was as gum! us :1 my 0f the tmal teams. Much praise could be smd 0f Bray, Lashhrook, Allen tVohlwemler and Butterfieht. the first team the latter part of the season. Hand and Woods. the first string substitutes deserve :1 101 at cm it for their playing. For the scrubs also, a word must he saittr for they are the ones who work hard. amt are not very often hdnm'ed by being allowed to play for their school, Mr. PfelH'er deserves much eretlit tor the teamis success, for his time is divided between swimming and hasket hull. Allen and Lashbrouk graduate this spring. hut there is enough material tet't t0 bring the cham- pionship to East High, where it should remain forever. GALE EVANS, M tNAUliR iQQ. 123
