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). Max Calderon (4) pumps in his specialty while Dave Cop- page looks on. Bill Pittman received the free throw trophy with an average of 79 per cent at a dinner in honor of the team and coaches (5). 17

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.,

Take me out to the ball game — has been the theme song of Man- ualites this season, and Redskin baseball fans were rewarded for their cheering when the Floydmen tripped Sacred Heart, 6-0, in the season ' s opener at the Delavan Smith Athletic Field. Claude Neely pitched the season ' s initial tilt and allowed the Spartans only two hits while going the route. With a tournament at Victory Field to highlight the season, Coach Walter Floyd planned to capitalize on strength in the pitching department, expecting the hitting and fielding section to come along. Ste-e-e-rike was the umpire ' s call for Herbert Taylor, moundsman, (1) as he hurled one across the heart of the plate. ' Twas the stre-e-e-tch that counted at first (2) as Bill DeHoff reached for a high peg from third. The gang ' s all here for a family photo (3) of Manual ' s ' 49 baseball squad, including reserve players. Slide, Casey, slide — and that ' s what Dave Coppage did while Leo Berkholz waited for a late toss from first (4). Lefty Bob Stadtfeld (5) connected on the ol ' pill before it could reach Charles Westra, behind the plate. Mr. Walter Floyd, far left, watched while trying to keep warm. His right hand man was Mr. Boris Chaleff. 3 MANUAL TRAINING HIGH SCHOOL 1949 BASEBALL SCHEDULE
