SAPILIINGS O Again the Saplings, Greensburg High School's second squad, have completed a very successful season. Although they were handicapped in height, weight, and exper- ience, they lost but four games out of seventeen contests. Two of the losses were overtime affairs, both of which went to Shelbyville. The third defeat was at the hands of Columbus, by whom they were dropped by one point. During the season the quintet won from Rushville ftwicej, North Vernon, Aurora, St. Paul, and Scottsburg by these high scores: Rushville-42-23 and 36-223 North Vernon, 38 to 8. The players that participated in the Sapling games were R. Stur' gis, L. Ryan, B. Best, R. McKim, J. Klene, Shriver, S. Miller, M. Stutz, J. Keillor, C. Haag, L. Haag, R. Carman, E. Neimeyer, H.

q-n .iii PIRATES C Although the Pirates were not the best team in the state, it can- not be said that the members of the squad were lacking in spirit, or the will to win. The Crew was greatly handicapped by the lack of .size and out- standing players. The strenuous schedule that the team had to buck must also be considered. Losing to North Vernon by a seven point margin in the local sectional, the Crew ended their hectic season. At the start the Pruitt- men ran away from Lawrenceburg's Hve,and bit Columbus's Bulldogs. The other seasonal wins were scored at the expense of Center Grove, Knightstown, and St. Paul. St. Paul was also defeated in the sectional. During the year, varsity positions were held by Huegel, Horn- berger, Fromer, U. Link, T. Link, Pleak, Espy, Scripture, Turner, Harman, Klene, Best, Ryan, W. Oliger, and Sturgis. Twenty-right
