Thus far eight games have been played and Coach Ziegler's boys have been successful in seven of them. When the first call for candidates was issued one of the largest squads in recent years reported. There were, however, only two veterans of last year's team at practice. This was not discouraging as many newcomers showed excellent ability. After about a weelc's practice the squad was cut to eighteen men. Soon the first team was picked with Longanecker as catcherg Dehlin pitching. The infield consisted of 'Witzel at Hrstg Moore at secondg Lotito at short, and Yevalc at third. In the outfield were Hoclcman, Fasold and Sneeringer. The subs are Pitts, Fogel, A. Rogers and Rogers. The first game was played at Harrisburg Academy. The boys returned defeated but not downhearted by a score of 11-12. The next game was held at Mercersburg. To their great chagrin and our joy we returned victors by a score of 6-5. In our first home game Y. C. I. was encountered. They were sent back home sadder and wiser men. They were snowed under by a score of io-2.

J., Rolaert Yevak, center, also from Hazleton, Pa., Bert Dehlin, guard, Kearny, N. J., and Robert Moore, guard, Philipsburg, Pa. So well, and so closely did these men work together, that it is difficult to choose among them, and baclced by a fine type of reserve material consisting of Stroh Fasold, forward, William Utz, center, Samuel Campbell, guard, and George Longaneclcer, guard, they developed into an excep- tional prep school team.

The tennis team is at present under the supervision of Coach Viggo Swensen who is a whirlwind on the courts himself. Up to this time the fel- lows have shown a good spirit in the recent eliminations and the matches between the different consecutive players. We RIFLE Because, fortunately, of the increased attendance in the school, there has been a reawalcening of interest of both the Rifle team and the Tennis team. The response to the call for recruits on the rifle team brought spontaneous results. After practicing for about two weeks the team went in for a somewhat uneventful season. Ac hope that the team this year will be better than the team of the preceding year, for although the last ycarls team played only three games, they lost two of them and tied one. This yearis team seems to predict a good victorious season and as this goes to press, the student body wish them every success. TEAM the first match the Freshmen won with a high score. The next two bouts were with Carson Long who tied the team and then beat us. As the starting of the season was somewhat late clue to a misunderstanding in the management, the team- mates were just getting under way when the season ended. May the succeeding seasons be more eventful. T491
