N A THE. CEDAR OF TWENTY SEVEN BASKETBALL BASKETBALL SQUAD Top Ro-tu-Fitzpatrick, Calder, Baker, Day, Vail, Boyer Bottom Raw-Coach Kelly, Groth, Leibsohn, Cummins Qcaptainj, Kriz, Cronkhite IVhen the present basketball season closed, it was, in spite of the numerous ups and downs, a success. After a disastrous start the Tigers found their stride and won eight out of the fourteen games on the regular playing schedule as well as winning four out of five of the tournament games. The Christmas trip into Indiana, while the squad was still in early season form, ended in three defeats. After falling victim to Ottum- wa, Council Bluffs was ovenvhelmed, but Omaha Tech eked out a two point victory. The rest of the season went smoothly, the team winning six out of the seven remaining games. A team of veterans led by the peerless Captain Cummins rounded into a clever but erratic basketball team. The Tigers were eliminated in the District Tournament by a two point margin gained in the last minute by Illuscatine. Nluscatine later became state champs by a score of 24 to 21.

I 'L' '-T TRACK SQUAD Tap Ruiz:-Coach Kelly, Redel QCaptain4electJ, Ridgeway, Vesely, Boyer, Miller fCaptainl, Coach Paulu Boiron: Row-Thompson, Christy, Maresh, Knapp, Kosek, Tangeman Coach Kelly's first track team at Xvashington High was a great success. The sea- son was completed with a large majority of the meets entered, recorded as wins. The team entered into many sectional, state, and local meets as well as competing in the national indoor and outdoor meets. The squad developed into a well balanced team of athletes. Redel, llliller, Thomp- son, Kosek, llaresh and De Silva, made a wonderful half-mile and mile relay team. Ifach man of this group was also capable of running the dashes or the quarter. The combination of Tanga-man, Vesely, Ridgeway and Koselc in the two mile relay, could at any time be split to garner points in the half or mile run. To balance these was the star vaulting, high-jumping, and broad jumping trio of Knapp, Christy and Boyer. If Coach Kelly could have developed a hurdler and a weight, discus or javelin man, he would have had an unbeatable team. During the course of the season, after the Drake, Grinnell, and Independence meets, Cedar Rapids placed second to Algona in the Cedar Falls meet. This is the first time that Cedar Rapids has been defeated within Iowa in seven years, and was probably due to an irregularity of the starter in the IOO yard dash. The Tigers did not enter the state meet at Des Bloines. They had previously won from East Des Moiiies, the champions, in two different meets. llonograms were awarded to Captain Illiller, Captain-elect Redel, Boyer, Ridge- way, Yesely, Koselc, Tangeman, Knapp, Thompson, hlaresh, Christy, and De Silva.
