Redskin football fans had good reason to whoop and holler dur- ing the ' 48 grid season. The braves, who won five of eight contests, topping their opponents in alii statistical departments, hadn ' t sported such a fine record since ' 45. While coaches Walter Floyd, Boris ' Chaleff and R. E. McConnell watched the progress of the Sacred Heart game (2), anxious gridders waited for their turn in the fray. Mr. Harry Painter coached freshmen. Using leg action seldom found in high school halfbacks, Jack Roberts (1) managed to rip off 10 yards before he was nailed by Freddie Davis, Short- ridge. The Blue Devils won the battle in the waning minutes of the game. As the team racked up more victories, the bleachers claimed more fans (3), bring- ing back that cheering spirit. Snaring passes was a permanent job for Vincent Guiliani, end, but in some games, such as the Broad Ripple con- test (4), even interceptions didn ' t help. Tribesmen and coaches (5) were honored when the season ended with a banquet where Clifford Grider, left tackle, received the Gilbert Mordoh outstanding player award. Best news of the season was the Roines alumni an- nouncement that Delavan Smith Ath- letic Field will be lighted for ' 49 grid tussles. I.,

WE LEARN... 7b Live Uiqwmslu Vigorous living was more than just a phrase to yell team members Donn Kleis, Kathryn Brandes, Harry Schmedel, Jackie Kendall and Myron Silverman, who led the Redskin cheering section at football and basketball games. Many Tepee Towners like Barbara Pritchard and Richard Schnepf took time out to enjoy lively ping-pong games, under the auspices of the Student Affairs Board.

Although the Red and White basketeers didn ' t win many tilts during the ' 48-49 season, one su- preme triumph for the Macmen was the vanquishing of their arch rivals, Shortridge, 39-32, at the Imps ' goalery. The ' Skins later were downed by the Blue Devils in a return engagement at the sectionals. Mr. Russell E. McConnell expressed the feeling of the student body when he said, These boys are the finest bunch I ' ve ever coached. Even when they thought they were defeated, they fought with everything they had. During the net season, including the sectionals, the Warriors tallied 617 points in 18 encounters, while Max Cal- deron copped scoring honors with 16 1 points. Freshmen scrimmage (1) before the rhinie game with Washington, while George Ringham (2) pulls in a rebound during the same tilt. First quarter action under Beech Grove ' s basket (3).
