Q r :Nr-'ff' soqf must also be given to the men who came out every night and failed to make the team. It was only through their faithful help that a-strong first team could be built. With the return of these men next year, Grand Island should have a team second to none. Eennia The tennis season of 1926-27 was successful in view of the facts that increasing numbers of students took to the pastime, that new courts were installed, that new provisions were made by the Athletic Council for the development of the game locally, and that a new varsity, still in the bibs of inexperience, made a favorable impression throughout the state. The team representing the college - Johanson fCaptainJ, Panzer, Shaffer and McGrath-won all its contests but one. Concordia proved too formidable on its own courts, but her team met defeat here after a valiant effort upon the part of our singles champion. York was defeated twice, Kearney once, at this writing the match with Hastings, aswell as the state intercollegiate championship tournament at Lincoln, has not been played The prospects for next year are good. The team consists of yearlings and Sophomores, so that it is not unreasonable to look for a state cham- pionship by 1928 or 1929. 'N' ' s.s'1 'v- N'w sr rv 'xi ff uf-1 mf 3' .

Foster Ziaakvthall---1925 -1927 Playing for the first year in their new gym, the Zebra basket tossers Went through a successful season. Though they didn't win any conference title, they did make their strength felt throughout the state. Of the fif- teen conference tilts, seven were Won, and eight lost, giving the team a percentage of .467. This may not be a high rating, but it is far from poor for a team made up of two Sophomores and three Freshmen. Two other men earned letters, one being a Freshman and the other a Sophomore. Without a doubt, the greatest find of the season was Cunningham, our diminutive guard. Though only about 5 feet 3 inches in height he proved a Wonder on defense and a very clever offensive player. McElroy, also a Freshman, played a regular guard position on the team until he left to attend school in the East. Coach Uhls deserves much credit for his Work with the team. His policy of fight till the last whistle won more than one game. Much credit r Q -fp? if 1255 if '34 ff? iff 49 fit 85 f, :fl iff? ag PM Ya F 5375 W rl-. If 13' F573 Sz! Je? in W, . ff?
