ATHLETICS IN 19 3 2-33 HEN we look back over a year crammed with athletic success, athletic spotlight has focused on one championship after another, l two football, two basketball teams, and a cross-country team iii- have established an enviable record 1 ! jj , we see a glamorous climax of fifty years of advancement. The Pop Vance started the year by turning out a football machine that was undefeated. His team worked with the precision, accuracy, and power of the well known Juggernaut. The first game gave a poor impression, but after that, there was no doubt about its strength. Although Schurz held us to a tie, in successive games we defeated Morton 12-0, Proviso 12-7 , Deerfield 32-6, Oak Park 19-6, and New Trier 7-6 and emerged with the championship. Of the many first-class players on the squad, Sam Whiteside received the biggest honor, he was named as both'all-Suburban and all-State center. Frank, Wakeheld, Meigs, Siddall, and Dawson were the other Evanston men named on the all- Suburban team. The other teams' were also unusually successful. Although the Junior Varsity,hadn't won a game in the three previous years, its goal was. not crossed throughout the schedule. 1 Not to be outdone, the basketball team also won the Suburban Championship. Oak Park lost their League lead to Evanston after the February ineligibilitiesg then we piled up such a lead that even two beatings left us with a comfortable margin. Greenslade, Peters and Barnes in the front line and Frank and Crawford, a beautiful pair of guards, were hard to beat. The lightweights also won the championship. Griggs, at center, Jones, Smith and Williams at forward, land Frazier, Fogarty and Najdowski as guards made up a team that won ten succes- sive games. f Swimming, besides producing a fine team, developed several individuals. Among the best of these are George Spry, one of the country's best prep back- strokes and Jim Gilson, who won the State diving championship. Coaches Jones and Schultz succeeded in developing a well-balanced team that danger- ously threatened the winners in all its meets and placed second to Oak Park in the Indoor State meet. The team will keenly feel the loss of such stars as Haley, Engel, Thompson, McGuire, Martin, Barnes, Shumway, and Siddall. It only remains for the baseball squad to perform equally well. Since Morton, our baseball jinx, is no longer in the League, the chance is exceptionally good. These major sports are generally regarded as representing the athletics of the School, but they are less than half of a huge program. There are minor and intramural sports also. Tennis and golf both draw many enthusiasts while the intramural games have attracted boys. The most popular of these tourna- ments were basketball, boxing, and wrestling. The handball tournament and free-throw contest also proved interesting. This program is the basis of championship teams, in these games and on Freshman-Sophomore teams our Varsity material learns the game and gains valuable seasoning. It is this school-wide program that has made the biggest athletic sweep in the history of the school . ' f ,, -if is I A -1..flfI.- ' 18 83 THE EVANSTONIAN

BASEBALL Sccoml Row: johnson, Frazier, Brinker, Kaufman, Voigts, Lowe, Sahr. From? Row: Rogodzinski, Beach, Snyder, Peters, E. Deck, Breitzmann, Crawford, Greenslade. ll Coach Hampton has again built a fine team around a large group of lettermen. With the entire infield and battery returning, the team is the strongest in many years. 1 This year's battery will probably be Wadington and Crawford, two veterans of last year, while the infield consists of Peters, first base, Greenslade, second baseg Rogodzinski, short-stop, and E. Deck, third base. The outfield is comparatively new to varsity com- petition, but Beach, Unger, and D. Deck, fill the requirements very well. Cook, Frazier, Snyder and Breitzmann 'have also seen much service during the year. f This picture didn't turn out so well because the chappie with the moustache swallowed the photograpber's birdie. The other derby-propper-upper is Mayor Bartlett. F i SENIOR YEAR BOOK 19 3 3

THE MILITARY TRAINING CORPS HEN the thirty seniors in the Military Training Corps leave school, they will have experienced four eventful years of fun, comradeship, and good, hard work, in which they can feel some pride, for the Corps has been doubled in size in four years. In,the fall of 1929, the freshmen were awkward and bewildered trying to learn to handle their rifles and to master the intricacies of drill. These freshmen were fortunate in having the excellent facilities of the new drill hall. At the end of a year's work, the recruits felt, if they did not look, like veterans. In June, many went to Camp Logan and became used to the roar and kick of the .30 caliber Army rifles and experienced the tortures of the battlefield in sham battles. p 1 The next year these ex-freshmen rejoiced in their superiority over the new recruits. As corporals and lance-corporals, and later as sergeants in their junior year, they became more and more soldierly as responsibilities grew greater and ability increased, Then, at last, they became officers. More duties of discipline and instruction fell to their lot, thus making it more interesting. 1 And now their experiences in the Corps have ended. Because of the personal develop-- rnent achieved, because of many friendships and good times and because of the great good luck of having Lt. Jones as a leader and close friend, the seniors will, for many years, remember and be grateful for their years in the Corps. 1 SENIOR YEAR BOOK 1933
