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

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

The Warriors dropped their first dual meet on the Southport oval, 65-51, al- though Jim Burks sported nice style when he copped the mile run and then came back with a win in the half-mile. The squad, under the direction of Mr. Raymond Van Arsdale, dash coach; Mr. Volney Ward, field events, and Mr. Bowman Hall, distance runners, didn ' t let an opening day setback dash their hopes, however. Jack Roberts (with pole) shows how it ' s done (1). Team mates, track queens Mary Jacobs, Ru Ann Cruse and Jackie Kendall, and field events coach Volney Ward look on. Ugh! said Ray Price as he demon- strated his broad jumping form (2). Marion Red Smith (3) cleared the bar with a western roll, while Man- ual ' s cannonball, Kirby Gahimer (4), showed his style at heaving the shot. Up and over went Jack Roberts (5) as he made the height and left his bam- boo buddy behind, while distance men lined up (6) then broke ranks (7) so Mr. Hall, far left, could check their time in the mile. i. ■ W ' %U, Ju :4U ' ' £ ' 19
