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

The Baseball Team XVING t0 the early publi -ation of this year's Annual not much can he said at the present time. in regard to baseball except the enumeration of our prospects. We are. extremely fortunate in having seasoned veterans with us including Allen, Bray, W'ohlwender, W'oods, Clark. Butterfield and Kitfmeyer. Practice x'ashegun early this year for both the pitchers and the other players. Blost of this year's games will be played at E 'anston. It was our plan to play in our stadium but on account of large sums of money being needed for equipment we have been unable to fix the field. If a teanfs success can be judged by its; 'eaptain we will easily win the title be- cause in Vfuhlwender we have one of the best captains an East High School team has ever had. We have a hard schedule ahead of us this year. playing such teams as Hamilton and Miami KIiIitm'y Institute. Due to the proximity Of the E 'anston Field we are sure to have our schoolk support.
