Interschoaslic baseball, track, swimming and tennis is now nearing its time of closing. With the termination of these sports the competition ends for the year. It has been a very successful year for competition in Eastern. Led by Dr. Battersby, the boys of the school have worked hard to bring victory to Eastern, and in a great many cases have stemmed the tide of- opposition and brought home the bacon. Football, the first branch of sport, turned out very well. In basketball, a green team captained by Willie Thomas, was able to win second place. With a well balanced team in baseball, Eastern is fighting hard for second place. Our first ap- pearance in track under the new coach gave us points in the meet, every man entering the meet receiv- ing ribbons. The above record is due in large part to the willingness and activity of the coach and the hard work of the various teams. Thanks is due to the student body for the splendid way in which it supported the teams, plays, and athletic asso- ciation. ps In the opening game of ‘the base- ball series Eastern defeated Business 7-4. The game was featured by rather loose playing and wild run- ning of bases, 23 thefts being regis- tered during the fray. Thomas, shortstop, played the best individual game of the day.

The final game with Western is yet to be played, and we are all hoping for a victory and second place. The Freshman team has played a number of games. So far it has not won, but we are expecting daily to hear from the assembly platform that they have come home victorious. At the inter-high-school meet Thomas and Fridinger, both supporters of all branches of sport, won third place in five events. Fri- dinger entered for the pole vault and the shot-put, while Thomas went in for the 100-yard dash, the 220-yard run and the hop, skip and jump. A swimming team is being organ- ized by Coach Battersby. Ratcliffe, 18, is manager and would like to have all boys who can swim come out for the team. track The tennis team is now ready for its matches. Games are to be played with the other high schools.
