During the long gray months of Winter, it seems a long, long time before the sun Will ever Warm up enough to melt the snow cmd soften the ground for America's national game-baseball. But along about the first of March, when the basketball team has only the State Tournament left, and the chinook Wind and the soft, warm sun combine long enough to Warn us of their annual successful attacks on marks, the baseball fan starts counting the days before practice starts. This year Coach Floyd Wilson has six letter Winners from last year re- turning-Iohn Seiger at third, Iohn Byrnes, a pitcher, Ioseph Fronczak at short, William Wegman at second, Iarnes Gilson in left, and Samuel Iohns on right, who form the nucleus for the 1935 team. With good material coming up from the freshman-sophomore, and junior varsity teams of last year, pros- pects are very bright for an excellent showing in the Suburban League race. The main problem facing Coach Wilson is to find a good pitcher-catcher combination such as the Kaufman-Brinker battery of last year. Iohn Byrnes may be that pitcher, or either Iames Gilson or Iohn Seiger may shift their positions to try their luck on the pitching mound. The catching problem is more difficult, and Samuel Iohns may have to be moved from right field to the position behind the plate.

TRACK lst Row-Iennings, Woodburn, Schnering, Horstmeier, Abell, Lloyd, Lundberg, Willmarth. 2nd Row-Williams, Kleinofen, Hanrahan, Dohrs, Burke, Swift, Eiden, Mathews. Std Row-Chapman, Nibbe, Guritz, Burton, Becharas, Britt, Davidson. With two of the strongest teams in Cook County competing in the Suburban League, Evanston's hopes for a track championship in 1935 are very dim. Even though Evanston has not had quite enough power the last few years to win the championship, and has lacked the facilities of an indoor track for winter training, the Wildkits have always pushed these two teams to the last event. Claudies Britt, state broad jump champion, who also competes in the high and low hurdles, is EVanston's main hope for points. George Williams in the sprints, Bevan Iones in the pole vault, lack Cummings in the sprints, Robert Horstmeier in the halt-mile, Malcolm Brown in the hurdles and shot-put, Iohn Burton in the broad jump and relays, Richard Vtfells and Thomas Iennings in the shot-put, Iames Woodburn in the pole vault, Clement Eiden in the quarter and half-mile, and William Abel in the quarter and halt, are the men counted on to score most of the Widkit's points. Coach Schultz expects to send six or eight men to compete in the state championships at Champaign, and also hopes to defend successfully the Class A division championship of the Pekin Relays, which has been won by Evanston for the last two years.

Under the leadership of Colonel Francis Roy, Lieu- tenant-Colonel jordan Mc- Cann, and Majors Phillips T Whittemore and Blaine Hoo- I L I TH R -Y ver, the M. T. c. has added I I V I another successful year to , its fine record at E. T. H. S. With its severe but just dis- i cipline, and unlimited oppor- tunities for a boy to advance by his own work and deeds, the corps has again produced its share of seniors who bring credit to our school. The mustering ceremony was the first big event of the year. New recruits of the Corps repeated the solemn oath of allegiance to the Corps, school, and nation. Mr. Bacon was the guest speaker of the evening. Major Whittemore was in charge of the annual Military Ball and that dance was considered one of the finest social events of the year. Captain Harker, Captain McCallum, Sergeant VanDoren, and Sergeant Packard, as chairmen of the various committees, did much to make the dance a success. The rifle team had a very successful season and won second place in the Sixth Corps Area championships. The team won eight matches in a row before losing to Culver. In the competition for the Hearst trophy, the rifle team won first place for the Sixth Corps Area. The drill team, led by Colonel Roy, expects to make its annual trip to the Wisconsin Roundup where, in last year's competition, the team won the high school championship and placed third in the entire meet. The government inspection: Regimental Night, at which time the boxing championships are held: the Military Pageant, when the D.A.R. sabre is awarded to some junior, and the Corps banquet, when promotions for next year are made-all come too late for the results to be published in the Year Book.
