Adviser STUDENT GOVERNMENT The Student Govermnent is patterned after the legislative branch of the Federal Govern- ment, and like it, consists of two houses, the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Student Government with the aid of the fac- ulty advisor, Mr. Straight, makes the laws by which our school is governed. This year several representatives attended the XVest Virginia Student Co-Government Convention at Iacksolfs Mill. Our school also sent representatives to Charleston to attend Know Your State Government Day. In order to help the drive the Student Gov- ernment took up a collection for the March of Dimes. Another of its projects was to con- duct a campaign for the purpose of cleaning up our school. To help curb the habit of bringing in report cards late, the Student Government charged each person a small fee who brought their report cards in late. The Student Government sponsors a stu- dent dance annually.

Biz, as he is called by players and friends, is a coach who, at least in West Virginia, is without peer. In basketball, a sport in which he seems especially adapted, he excels and has had many great teams. Perhaps, the '48- ,49 State Championship team is the most easi- ly recalled. In baseball, a sport in which, because of his previous baseball experience with the Fair- mont Black Diamonds and the Cincinnati Reds, he, as the saying goes, knows his apples. In football he has had two State Champion- ship teams. One some years ago and the other in 1946 when F airmontis answer to the Cal- loping Ghost, Bill Leskovar rode rampant over the opposition. Last but not least, and perhaps the most important is the position in which he is held by other coaches. Again Biz,, is second to none. We all hope that Biz,' will be here for many years to come. Fairmonfs Battling Bruins In '50 West 18 Rivesville 0 Opening its season on September 7, West won over Rivesville 18-0. Since he passed for all three of West's touchdowns and ran for gains of 35 and 19 yards, Tom Newbrough was the game's outstanding player. Two of his passes went to Welton, and one went to Papetti. On a remarkable pass play to Wel- ton, Tom, surrounded by tacklers, threw a 43 yard aerial to Barry for the score. It was one of the ,most beautiful plays of the season. Although they were outclassed, Rivesville terfield. Banick, who ran 85 yards, and An- tolock, who ran 57, were standouts for the Farmers. Futten, Satterfield, and Phillips were defensive stars for Fairmont. West 33 Barrackville 0 john Brzuzy galloped 84 yards for a score and dropkicked three extra points as West trounced an out-classed and out-manned Barrackville 33-0. Continuing to bulldoze, Papetti rambled over twiceg Welton and Mez- zannotte scored one each. Bearing the de- fensive burdens for West were Futten, Ash- Tommy Newbrough, Joe Papetti, Barry Welton, Eddie Ashcraft. fought well with Tootham and Angeline lead- ing them on. Defensively for West Ashcraft and Phillips looked great. West 20 Farmington 12 Running like the Wild Bull of the Pam- pas, joe Papetti led an inspired West team to a 20-12 win over hard fighting Farmington. joe, who had been moved from end to full- back because of the dire need, scored twice and did most of West's ground-gaining. El- mer Shelton scored the other for the Bearsg Newbrough passed for both extra points. One was caught by Welton and the other by Sat- craft, and Papetti and for Barrackville Dod- rill and Straight. West 0 Moundsville 0 In a heavy smog that stopped the game with 14 seconds to play the Bears battled Moundsville's Trojans to a 0-0 deadlock. Don F utten was by far the best defensive player on the field, while Don Wilson, stellar Tro- jan fullback, was the offensive player of the night. The game was a defensive battle all the way, and Wesfs line, which had been in- ert the first three games, came to life and played fine football, The contest was one of the best games Fairmont played all season.

I Fairmont's Bathing Bruins in ,50 - Continued West 20 St. Mary's 6 Passing like a demon, Tom Newbrough fwith help from Papetti and Brzuzyj led West to a 20-6 win over St. Maryls. Tom, whose aerial fireworks were something to see, dropped two touchdown passes into the wait- ing arms of joe Papetti and Barry Welton. Both receivers then proceeded to waltz across the goal line for scores. Scoring the Bears other tally was Papetti, Secreto scored for St. Mary's. Welton and Brzuzy scored extra points. Nuzum, Dzielski, and Futten were defensive stars. 5 points, 12-7. Astounding the masses as he did all season, Tom Newbrough led the Bears 96 yards in only 6 plays. He ran or passed cvery play, and he scored his first touchdown of the season from the two. He then took a nice pass from Brzuzy for the extra point. Fairmont fought hard and well, but at last they were worn down. jones and Harper scored for the Generals. For Fairmont on of- fense as well as defense, the line was out- standing. The line really deserves credit. The whole team was up for the game, and they tried hard to win. Someone once said that there is no disgrace in losing if you have giv- fm Domnick Fargo, Elmer Phillips, jimmy Hawkins, Eddie Shaffer, Charles Hoult. West 6 Bluefield 0 Depending as it did all season on the good left arm of Tom Newbrough, West slipped by Bluefield 6-0. Late in the second half Tom passed to Barry Welton for the game's only score. The Newbrough to Welton combo was fast becoming as famous around Marion Co. as Isbell to Hudson, Graham to Speedie, Waterfield to Fears are over the nation. In a hard-fought game defense again payed off. West 7 Stonewall jackson 12 West, surprising nearly everyone, fell be- fore power-laden Stonewall jackson by only en all you had to win. West had done just this. West 6 Weirton 14 Playing continued great football, West lost to Weirton 14-6 after a hard fought game. Tom, the little general, Newbrough was the real class on the field. joe, the bulldozer, Papetti picked up some nice gains. West's only score came on a lateral pass from New- brough to Brzuzy, who passed to Welton for the touchdown. Boyer and Adendts scored for Weirton and Palich kicked the two extra points. Welton, Papetti, and Phillips played fine defensive ball. CContinued on next page? In Fairmont the 1 in '51 is v W V U P p 1490 KC 92.3 MC y y .

To borrow from a movie and book title, the rains camef, and in a few minutes all the players appeared alike. Be- cause of the weather, fumbles were frequent and costly for both sides. john Brzuzy seem- ed to be the only player on either side who could get going in the mud. He raoed 21 yards for the longest gain of the night. Mur- phy was the Mannington flash on defense and offense. Futten recovered three fumbles and played, along with Ashcraft, fine ball. West 14 East 6 Tom Newbrough, shining as brightly as the north star. led West to its first city cham- pionship over East in four years 14-6. Tom Newbrough and joe Papetti each scored a touchdown and an extra point. Tom passed, Joe ran, the line played ball, and West won. The game was as simple as that. The truly great play of the game was when Tom un- corked his left arm in a 60 yard Q48 from scrimmagej pass to his favorite receiver Bar- ry Welton. Don Satterfield caught several passes and played fine defensive ball along with Phillips and Futten. The whole West team deserves credit for a well played game. Also, credit should go to coaches Dawson and Kerr for moulding a team which was the 16th best in the state. West's season record was six wins, two losses, and two ties.

Baseball 1950 Tho 1950 edition of the Polar Bear hasehall team opened the season with a 6 to 0 win over Manning- ton. George Calieh started on the mound for the Bruins and held the Big Green to three hits. The second game, with ltivesville, was a thriller. Calieh pitched a one hitter, while the Bear batsmen got three runs on only two hits for a 3 to 0 victory. Farmington furnished the opposition in the third game whieh the Bears took 8 to 4, but only after eoming from hehind in the fifth inning to hreeze in from there. Carl Nieoletti drew the pitehing assign- ment and was the winner going all the way. It was George Calieh again in the fourth game agaist a strong Fairview team as he shruek out 12 and allowed only three hits and four runs. In the meantime the Fairmont hattms, led by Tommy New- hrough, eolleeted seven runs to give Calieh his mar- gin of vin-tory. Nieoletti started the fifth game of the season, a return engagement with Farmington. and turned them haek 5 to 0 although he needed solne help from Calieh. In the first East-W'est hasehall game George Ca- lieh entered haseball's hall of fame hy pitching a no-hit, no-run game. Ile also struck out 15 of the 21 hatters and was the batting star for the Bears. The Bears tasted their first defeat in their last game of the regular season, a night game at Fairview. The score was tied at 2-2 in the last inning when the Indians pushed over the winning run. Calieh was the Bear's piteher and struck out nine batters in los' mg. In the Sectional rli01ll'l1tlll1CIlt, XVest drew East Fairmont in the first game and went on to win hand- ily 5 to 1 with Nieoletti the winning piteher, hut needing some help from Calieh. The finals of the Seetional saw the Bears upset by a suprisingly strong Rivesville team. Calieh seem- ed to have the game well in hand, hut in a late in- ning a dropped third strike set the stage for the 4 tol upset. BASEBALL 1950 AB R 11 E Nicolctti 3b, p. 28 5 10 2 C.

The young flashes of the links were ably coached by Bill Kerr. Winning easily and soundly at home, the Bears defeated Monongah, Parkers- burg and Moundsvilleg but on the road it was a horse of a different color, for the Bruins lost twice: to Parkersburg and Moundsville. 66 POLAR BEARS nsl Row: Cum-ll Unwsun, Bob F1-tty, I'7lllll'l' S'll'llOIl.

Bob F etty, who dropped in five baskets and four fouls for 14 points, was the star of the sometimes sloppy con- test. Papetti followed Fetty in the scoring with 10 points. Big John Everson with 9 and Dave Barker with 8 were high for the Alumni. As soon as the con- test was concluded, the players of both teams were feted at Mario's Restaurant. In what was one of the worst games of the season, West tripped Barrackville, 45-24. The score at half- time was a meager 17-7, West leading. Paul Wilcox, the game's only bright star, led West's score with 14 points. Following Paul in the scoring were Fetty with 10 and Brzuzy with 9. Migialo, stellar forward for the Bisons, lcd their attack with 10. Playing before a packed house despite the adverse weather conditions, West defeated the Wheeling Colds, the defending state champs, by a 46-40 count. West, which had the potential firepower of the 16 inch guns of the battleship Missouri, but as of yet had not shown it, looked great on several occasions. Paul VVilcox with 12 points was the leading scorer and also played fine defensive ball. Playing before a small crowd, considering thc op- position, West rolled over Bluefield with compara- tive easc, 49-34. Bob Fetty, the only player on either team to hit double figures, dropped 16 points through the hoops. Bourne and Williams were high scorers for the Beavers with 8 points. West continued to im- prove and was beginning to look like a great ball club. The Bears continued their winning ways by out- gunning St. Mary's, 48-29. Leading score for the Bears was Welton with 9. Coeke and Tieman were high for the Stripcrs with 7. Although he was not the leading scorer the scored 9 pointsj, Tom New- brough was the real class of the boards. Playing his best ball of the young season, Joe Pa- petti led a sometimes down but never out West team to a 51-40 victory over a surprisingly tough Ceredo-Kcnova aggregation. Making a good percen- tage of his shots, Joe canned 13 points to tie with The Wonder's Rutherford for scoring honors. Bocoeh of CK had 11 points, while the Bears scarecrow, Bob Fetty, scored 10 during his brief stay in the fracas. Before 1500 partisan fans at Colebank gym, West defeated a strong Richwood ball club, which was led by all-stater Carl Wilt, 59-40. The Bears showed fine shooting ability and great defensive work in racking up their seventh win of the campaign. Play- ing one of his best games of the year, Bob Fetty burned the nets for 15 points. Also playing outstand- ing ball for the Bears were Wilcox, who scored 10, and Papetti who scored 9. Tuck Wilt was the game's highest scorerg but, at times he was made to look sick by the spectacular playing of Fetty, Papetti, and Wilcox, all assigned at one time or another to guard him. The entire West team deserves credit for a game well played. Playing their first away game of the year, The Bears tramped over a supposedly strong East quintet, 61-38. After the first quarter the game was never in doubt. Since the main cog in the East machine, Bill Burnficld, was successfully bottled up, West had littlc or no trouble. Arch Meredith deserves credit in this category. The Bears sometimes tarnished star, Barry Welton, shown brightly and dropped in 15 points. F etty and Papetti were also high in Wcst's scoring column with 9 apiece. West invaded the southern part of the state for a contest with Beckley, and they had a tough time dropping the Eagles from their high perch, 56-52. Although the Eagles had an exceedingly tall ball- club, West with fine all-around playing brought them down to their size. Continuing to burn the nets, Barry Welton scored 15g Newbrough hit for 13, and Papetti got 11. Turner and Davis were high for Beckley with 12 apiece. With 16 and 15 points respectively, joe Papetti and Paul Wilcox led the Bears to a decisive 57-42 win over the Beavers of Bluefield. Though he scored only three points, Elmer Shelton played fine ball. Bourne and Williams were offensive stars for Blue- field with 12. Although a beaver is usually known for slapping others, it was the polar bear on this day which did not take the slaps, but was handing them out, and it might be added with great rapidity. With 1900 fans packed into Colebank gym tighter than the proverbial sardines in a can, West's juggcr- naut rolled steadily on, stopping Fairview 50-44. Bob Fetty, like a good middle-finger on one of a polar bear's paws, dropped in 17 for West. Merico with 12 and Fairview's star, Marko with 10 were high. for Fairview. Marko hit on only three of 15 easy shots from the floor. As he did all season long, Tom Newbrough played excellent ball. The '50-51 Season on the Hardwood for the Bears West, playing St. Pcter's to make up one of the cancelled games with Weirton, defeated them at Fifth St. gym by a 63-36 count. Hitting on a phe- nomenal number of their shots from outside, West had little trouble in stopping St. Pete. Barry Welton, senior forward of West, was the games' high scorer with 21. George Bogdan with 14 was high for the opposition. On the East High gym, before a fairly large crowd, West took Huntington into camp, 57-42. The game which was tied 25-25 at halftime, was anything but the Bears at their best. Joe Papetti, the only Bruin playing any ball, led the race for scoring honors with 22 points. Following with 21 was I-luntington's Mor- ris, a one hand push shot star. Fetty with 14 points played fine ball. West barely pulled this one out of the fire. 43-41 was the final scoreg West had tasted the hitterest pill of them all, defeat. The stage was right. They had played badly and won the night before against Huntington, but a Beckley aggregation, which was up, way up, for the game, took advantage of West's poor play and took the game. On the other hand, West, although playing badly, played hard, it was only the breaks of the game-breaks which make basketball the great game that it is, that beat them. With 45 seconds to play, Davis of Beckley scored on a snow-bird, and the game was all over. Berginnis, 6 ft. 6 in. center of the Eagles, who on this night soared to the heights, was high gunner with 16. VVelton canned 12 for the Bears. The Polar Bears rebounded from their loss to Beckley by toppling a good Mannington team at their usual base of operations, Colebank gym, by a score of 46-38. It was a fair game. Invading the South for the second time of the sea- son, West came back North with its second defeat of the season, 50-43. In the gigantic gym, which some compared to California's Cow Pasture, the Dawsonmen just couldn't get going. Morris of Ceu- lral lcd in scoring with 17. Tom Newbrough, sen- sational playmaker of the Bears, scored 13, Welton, playing good ball, got 10 Meeting their crosstown rivals for the second time, Coach Dawsou's cagers won the City Championship handily by trouncing East Side, 54-38. After the first few minutes, the game was never in doubt. Dropping in shots from all over the court like joe Fulks, joe Papetti led West with 19 points. Satter- field and Wilcox of West with Panella of East vied for second place honors with 9. In a harder game than the score indicates, West took St. Mary's 55-39. joe Papetti, soaring to as- tronomical heights, paced the Bruins with 23. Gocke, paced the Stripers with 14. Welton and Satterfield got 10. Thus the Dawsonmen concluded their regu- lar season with 16 wins, including the Alumni game, and 2 losses, but the tournaments lay ahead. Tournament Ups and Downs for the Bears As it did later in the regionals, Colebank gym served as the scene of hostilities in the Sectional Tournament. In their first game in tournament com- petition, West met, and after one of the finest games of this or any other season, defeated Shinnstou, 41-38. The Bruins were unable to stop the Spartans' chief gunner and star, Frank Spadofore. He scored 15. VVelton and McDougal scored 11 to vie for runnersup honors in scoring. The game was won by West at the foul line-a place where many games are won or lost, for they made a sensational 21 out of 24 fouls. At 3:30 in the afternoon on the day of March 19, West opened the Regional Tournament by beating Keyser, a team which few knew anything about, 54- 45. Elmer Shelton got his name enshrined in the hearts of West fans by a sterling performance. Elmer collected 11 points, but it was his floor play that was magnificent. Welton and Papetti tossed in 10 apiece for the Bears. March 10. A black day to West fans, players, coaches, and students. The Bears, not the greatest of Polar Bear teams but far from the worst, had gone down to a heartbreaking defeat at the hands of Morgantown, 54-52. With 30 seconds remaining, Bob Taft, who got only 6 points all evening, con- nected on his only shot at the basket, and the Bear cause was lost. Joe Papetti and Barry Welton missed shots in the remaining time, and although they miss- ed, they can not be blamed for the loss. Both boys played fine ball, Papetti scoring 16, Welton 11. Bob Fetty also got 11 for the Bears. Charley Huggins was high scorer of the game with 21. The road to the State Championship, like any road to fame and glory, is a long and a hard one, many fall by the wayside. It is unfortunate that West was one of the latter. Although they didn't win, the team gave their all, as they did all season. What more can their supporters ask? Two-lfmnlll'-Six-liiglxtl NYIH1 do vw alppwcialtc?
