.l HOCKEY Hockey, a new sport at Highland Park, made its debut upon the Polar pro- gram of winter athletics this year. A large number of aspirants turned out to try their skill at the new sport. Owing to an unusually mild and irregular winter, the ability and skill of the team was not given an absolutely just trial. Learning and profiting from their mistakes was one of the commendable qualities of the team, as was shown in the first two games. After losing their first game because of a desire on the part of some of the members of the team to star, the boys ,worked up some strong team plays and won their two remain- ing games. CROSS COUNTRY From a schedule of five meets. exclusive of city and state meets. the '27 cross country team emerged with a percentage of .576. Four of the five were triangular meets. The team this year was composed of new men, with the exception of one member. The one veteran was Captain Sam Skeen, who has had two years' experience in both indoor and outdoor track, as well as cross country. Cross country is only in its third year at Highland Park, and previously the teams have been forced to train on the streets. The improvement this year may be attributed in a large measure to the acquisition of lves Field. GOLF With but one new man. Donald Fisk, chosen from the ranks of the candi- dates, Coach Mead's golfers should have a most successful season. The five veterans who returned are Captain Chlopan, Duncan, Melikian. Hurd, and Wilder. ln order to have some experienced players on the team next year, Coach Mead carried Walter Chlopan and Donald Dierkes with the team. Northwestern was encountered on May 1, and Redford on May 15. The Highland Park-Redford match was one of the feature events in scholastic golf this spring, as these two schools have the strongest teams in Michigan. TENNIS Captain Bolton, Nicholas, Savich, and Meacham were the veterans to return to this year's tennis team, but with the aid of the first class material that re- sponded to the call for candidates a very good team should result. Besides the three veterans. the team is comprised of Meloy, Renton, Brand, and Ford. Coach Larzelere plans to select his team anew for each match, a plan which has been followed ever since he has had charge of the Polar team, and under which Highland Park has come very close to the city championship for the last four years. Last year the Bears finished in second place. 3, '7'v rf 9 v 9'V Q'w:'9'16 'G' ir, --we 93
