AROOSTOOK COUNTY CHAMPIONS Left to right: Tomilson, Niles, Wolhaupter, Bither, Ruth fCapt.J, Donovan, Bossie, Mason. Boys' Basketball The 1937-38 Houlton Hoopsters dropped only eight games during a 24 game schedule against opposition that was plenty tough. And if their star forward, Hal Bossie, had been in the line-up during the first five games, they would have had even a better record. Although Houlton lost the Aroostook League title, there was no question in any- one's mind as to who had the best team in Aroostook. This shown by the way Houlton took Presque Isle in the tournament game. In the Eastern Maine finals at Bangor, Houlton met Wiiislow in the first game, and led until the last quarter, only after a heart- breaking rally was Winslow able to eke out a four-point win. The stars of this year's team were Captain Bob Ruth, a guard whose work in the East- ern Maine finals was highly praised by many newspaper reporters, Hal Bossie, a forward who was injured at the first of the season but recovered in time to bring the team to the topg Albert Donovan, center, a hard worker and good rebounder who scored a large part of his team's basketsg Carl VVolhaupter, fo1'ward, whose sharpshooting surprised everyone, and Don Mason, a fine defensive guard who always was given the task of guarding the other tean1's high scor- er. this Houlton loses six letter men from year's team. But with such players as Tom Donovan, Leighton Bell, Earl Tomilson, and Billy Stockson along with Carl Wolhaupter, Houlton should turn out another good team next year. QFor scores see page 265 5 1

MAINE STATE CHAMPIONS Left to right, top row: Berry, Coach Stinson, Clark, lower row: Farrar, Graham. Wiggins, Mason, Roben. .K Cross Country The 1937 cross-country season was a dis- tinct success, the team winning both the county and state chainpionships. This makes Coach Clyde Stinson's fifth state championship and one national champion- ship since 1930. We went first to Orono to meet the Maine freshmen. Here, at the hands of the freshmen, we suffered our only defeat in the state. This being the first race, we did not do quite as well as we should have. We won the next four meets in succession: Cari- bou, Presque Isle, the state meet at Orono, and the Aroostook County meet at Presque Isle. In the Caribou meet, Lyle Wiggins took first place, closely followed by George Roben. Near the end of the season, members of the Houlton Rotary Club gave money to 11 make it possible for the team to enter the New England meet at Providence, R. I. The team then made the trip to Providence, where it competed in the New Englands. In this race, the team got tenth place in a field of twenty-eight schools. Lyle Wiggiiis did fi11e work by finishing eighth in a field of nearly two hundred runners, Scores: Houlton 39 Maine Frosh 20 Houlton 20 Caribou 37 Houlton I7 Presque Isle 42 Houlton 50 Deering, 56 East Corinth 56 CSta.te Meetl Houlton 31 Caribou 54 fCounty Meetj New Englands: Houlton, 'tenth place l I , L
