Swimming W'ith this year's Senior Class Evanston is losing several outstanding swimmers and point-collectors. jimmy Holland, a fancy diver, who not only took first place in every Suburban Meet this year, but also was Hrst in the Cook County and State Meets, will be greatly missed next year. George Borrowman has been outstainding in diving, too, for he won third in the State Meet. Ben Gage also did Fine work as a breast-stroker during his four years on the team. Albert deVarennes, a crawl-stroke man specializing in the hundred, turned in a very good record, and during his three years on the team Woods Hinrichs, another crawl-stroke man, worked hard. As usual the Swimming Team came out on top in almost all its meets, but had to share the Suburban League Championship with New Trier, since they had won as many meets as Evanston had. However, we won the Inter-Suburban Meet held at New Trier by the margin of 31 to 27 against our nearest rival, New Trier. There will be well-developed material for next year's team with Bill Iber, Bob and Sid Ferguson, Dick Sampson, Norman Carberry, and David Dale handling the crawl- stroke, Paul Smithson and Bob Eadie the breast-stroke, and George Spry and Jim Thumley the back-stroke. A strong team is assured, and the prospects of again winning the Suburban League Championship are good. if ,IV I I A ' 46' 4 '. psf' T'f.'

Football A large number of well-conditioned boys helped contribute to the good season Evanston had in football. The Junior-Varsity had a full schedule this year. Valuable experience and fun for all makes that squad important. The addition of boxing, wrestling, and handball to the after-school activities has helped to get the fellows into good con- dition and to increase their powers of coordination. As a result of Mr. Vance's and Mr. Cameron's patient coaching a smooyh-runni-ng outfit downed New Trier for the fourth time in a row. LaGrange's jinx over the Orange and Blue was brought to an end this year, when Kein made a touchdown on the kick-off in the third quarter to start the scoring which ended 25-0. Substantial victories over Deerfield, Morton, Proviso, and W'aukegan made the season a success. The results were due to a combination of fellows working together with team success as their only objective. Hedblom's hard blocks very uncomfortably jolted his opponents, and his cool leadership helped to guide the boys through many trying situations. Minto, the lanky pass snagger, and lfrank Case, who broke his ankle in the Oak Park game, but came back so well in the New Trier game that he received All-Suburban Honors, did fine jobs of repulsing end runs. Nothing ever stopped Runge. The harder he was hir, the farther he carried the ball the next time. When a few yards were needed, Kein always produced them by bucking through any part of the line. This ability and his passing earned him All-Suburban Honors. Another sharer in these was jackson, the fleet end-runner, who ran all around the Proviso team. Sievers at guard was a bulwark on defense, slashing in or dropping back to cover up well on pass defense. His kicking was an invaluable factor in getting out of tough spots. Stewart was in the center of action, in smearing off-tackle plays. Bailey, Everhart, Rapp, Ream, Wal- worth, and Whittemore provided worthy help.

Basketball The 1931-32 basketball team of Evanston High School had a fairly successful year. They ended the season tied for third place in the Suburban League with Morton, the state champions. Evanston had a season's record of ten games won and five lost. There were four seniors on the squad who played regularly. They were: Gil Cook, whose clever dribbling and shooting made him .1 real star, Stretch Stewart, who was always dangerous around the basket, Verne Rogers and Hank Brinker who alternated at the right guard post. The team was handicapped after the midyear by the loss of two valuable players, Stan Everhart and jim Rapp. Other seniors on the squad were: Sievers, Hayes, Wallace, France, and Minto. The season was marked by many very close games. In the Stagg Tournament the Evanston-Morton game was very closely contested, with Evanston leading almost to the final whistle only to lose in the last few seconds by two points. The Morton game at Evanston was another thriller. The regular playing time ended with the score tied twenty-four to twenty-four. Evanston handed New Trier their Hrst defeat in a good game on the latter's floor. Evanston, the underdogs, went out and snatched an early lead and held it by the narrowest of margins until the end of the game. The prospects for next year's team are good. Captain Frank, Greenslade, and Wood will form the leadership of the team. Other juniors from this year's squad who will probably see lots of playing are: Peters, Crawford, Deck, and McCarthy. The lightweights had a very successful season until they lost some star players at the midyear, Captain Chuck Franklin, Wally Rardin, Phil Barry, Bill Roesing, and Male White graduating at that time. The seniors who played the full season on the first team were: Johnny Swaim, Clack Barker, Johnny Kassel, and Smoky Evans. Other seniors on the squad were: Anderson, Halman, and Hanover. The lights won ten games and lost four.
