SENIOR BOOSTER 25 CLASS OF JUNE 1924 ATHLETES Helen Harmeson has played basket- ball on the girls ' team for four years. She has a basket eye that was not excelled by either of her brothers. The team will be weakened by Helen ' s graduation. Dorothy McKay, another of our girl basketball tossers, played in the same games with Helen and her ability will be missed when Tech and Shortridge are met next year. La Verne Chastain, another girl bas- ket tosser, will be missed when the team lines up next year. Dorothy Feldman, called Dot, is one of Manual ' s leading athletesses. She played on the team against Short- ridge and has taken part in many prac- tices. Boyd Courim, more commonly known as Zip, has played football for two years and baseball for one year. He was the star of the last football team at the quarterback position. He played in the backfield and acted as captain of the team in 1923. He was chosen on the all-city team in 1922 and 1923. His place on the eleven will be hard to fill next year. He has also played in the outfield of our baseball team in years past. Charles Courim, that fighting blonde, plays both football and baseball. He made the all-city football team the two years he played. He also played base- ball for two years. He played half- back on the football team and left field on the varsity nine. Louis Weiland, our snappy little for- ward, played on the varsity during the last season and made a good showing. Louis has been in basketball from his freshman year until now. Lawrence is the long boy of the bas- ketball team of ' 23 and ' 24. This is his first year at Manual. He came from a Fort Wayne high school. Charles Parker came out for track in his senior year and ran in several meets. If he had tried out in his for- mer years, he certainly would have made the state squad. Lewis Clark is another fellow who came out too late to make the state squad. He ran in several meets and was a member of one of the relay teams. Oscar Herbst is another heavy boy of the class. He played football in 1923 and participated in several var- sity games. William Mussmann, our stalwart football guard, is another man to leave. Football is the only sport Bill plays, but he plays it well. His fighting spirit and rotund figure will be missed when the call for football is issued next fall. He has held a position on the varsity for three years. Verne Baldauf has taken part in ath- letics ever since he came to Manual. In his freshman year he took part in freshman track and football. In his sophomore and junior years he played basketball on the second team. In his senior year he was one of the stars on the varsity basketball team, playing at the center position, and now he is mak- ing a strong bid for all-city first base- man on our varsity baseball nine. Harold Blair, our star dash and quarter-mile man, has made quite a record for the season. This is his first and last year on the squad, as he came from another high school. With a few more years on the squad he would have been an all-state man. Frederick Eckstein also graduates with the June class. Basketball is the only sport he has participated in, but he has done well at it. He was a star guard on the second team and fre- quently played guard on the varsity. He came out for the first time during his senior year, but he made good. George Cecil is another well-known athlete of our class. George played both baseball and football. He is a brainy and a hard hitting football player. He played outfield for the baseball team. It will be hard to fill George ' s shoes this year when the dif- ferent calls go out. Wilbur Anderson made his first at- tempt at athletics last fall when he came out for football. Although this was his first try, he made good as a substitute guard. Thomas Neale is another football player to leave with our class. This is the only sport Tom tried for and he certainly made a success of it. Claude King, the busiest student in school, had time to make the state track team in 1923. While editing the Booster last fall, he played on the var- sity basketball squad a while ; then his tasks piled up and he played on the seconds.

20 SENIOR BOOSTER A REVIEW OF THIS SCHOOL YEAR ' S ATHLETICS Manual ' s teams have done very well during the past school year. Our teams have won no championships, but our opposition in all games knew they were up against something. We will endeavor to give a summary of the sports for the last school year. Our football team made a good showing with eight wins, one tie, and one loss. The first game was played between two Manual teams. Zip captained one team, and Huber, the other. The teams finished with seven points each. Our team was made up of some of the following men : B. Courim, Huber, Noll, L. Hutton, C. Courim, Malone, Littlejohn, Snodgrass, Higgs, Cecil, Kellermeyer, Neale, Snowball, E. Hutton, Cochrane, Harmeson, Merrick, Rose, Mussmann, Lively, Vollrath, Woerner, Anderson, Roessner, Prokl, and Stoeffier. Our team tied up with Brazil with 20 points each in the first game on Irwin field. The team journeyed to Wabash and Zip passed to Higgs from the ten-yard line for the only touchdown. Newcastle took a good flop on their field to a count of 32 to 2. Peru fell to a tune of 31 to on Irwin field in the fourth game. Our team traveled to Evansville and took their measure, 3 to 0. Zip place-kicked for the three markers. The team then went to Anderson and administered a walloping to that team, 109 to 0. Sadness then hit the Manual camp for Tech knocked us with a 52 to score. Greenfield went down 45 to on Irwin field for a revenge. Shortridge was defeated in our last game 13 to 0. Our basketball team opened its season just before the close of the football season in a game with Broad Ripple at their gym. We lost a close one 26 to 25 in the last moment of the game. Greencastle came over to our gym and knocked our lads with 20 points to our 9. Poor foul shooting during the season lost sev- eral games. Franklin gave our team a good cleaning with a score of 42 to 12 in their gym. Frankfort was next met in their gym and another downfall of the red and whites occurred. Frankfort made 62 while our team registered 24. Ben Davis fell by one point 27 to 26 in our next home game, and then Kokomo was defeated by a score of 37 to 36 in our gym. The Alumni team soaked our lads in the next game. Anderson then evened up the football score with a 53 to 20 score. Southport, future sectional champions, defeated our boys 30 to 24 in their gym. Columbus took our count on their floor by a score of 32 to 13. Manual lost fighting to the splendid Tech team 24 to 22 in our second city series game. Shelbyville liked our floor and looped them in for a victory. Shortridge stepped out in the second half and our team fell down. The result : 20 to 22 in favor of the North Siders. On a two-day trip Bloomington defeated our team with a 40 to 20 score and Bedford won with 42 to 21. Browns- burg took our count with 27 to 24 on our floor. Hopewell split our plans at Franklin, and we lost 39 to 22. In the sectional Shadeland went down with a score of 20 to 11 in a poor game. Ben Davis fell the next morning 22 to 18. Tech then spoiled our hopes Saturday afternoon 27 to 23. The first call for track went ou the eleventh of March. One hundred and thirty-eight boys turned out. Connersville went down for the first time in a dual meet for four years. The score was 50 to 49. The Manual team journeyed to Kokomo and lost to the State Champtions of 1924 by a large score. The Manual squad then put it over Martinsville and Shortridge in a triangular meet the next day. Our team took second the next day in another triangular meet at Brazil with Brazil and Greencastle. Noblesville took our tracksters ' count at Willard Park. Five of our men went to Gary, but no places were taken. Culver Military Academy pounced on our team at their track and we lost. In the sectional six men, Malone, McCallister, Hutton, Rubush, Marshall, and Prior, won the right to enter the State, but we unfortunately received no points in the State track meet. The first call for baseball, issued on March 11, was answered by a large num- ber of boys. The team took Southport with a score of 9 to 1 on the Southport diamond. Shadeland suffered a 17 to 1 loss at the hands of the Manualites in the second game. Lawrence took our boys by a score of 3 to 2 in our third game. New Augusta sunk before the Manual swatters 23 to in the fourth game. Greenfield lost to our lads 3 to 2 in a thirteen-inning affair. Shortridge then went down before our team 3 to 0. Technical then took our measure 2 to 1 in a fine game on the Tech field. As this went to press early, no later reports could be taken, but we are proud of our baseball team.
