THE ECHO ' 2l The Indianola Coach Bryan has coached the team through a successful season, being defeated by Crestview only. The Crestview-Indianola game was a close one, and although we came out with the small side of the score, we put up a game tight and showed some real spirit. Captain Hamilton brought in our only run, making the score 1-3. Captain Hamilton, our catcher. fortu- nately has the habit of catching the ball and hanging on to it. His pegs to second are not at all weak, either. He and Russel Parker form an excellent battery. Rus also has a ntean ability of making the batters fan the air instead of hitting the ball. This habit, although provoking to the opposing team, is very beneficial to us. Kaiser. our veteran shortstop. is consid- Baseloall Team ered about the best at fielding on the team. He also has an exasperating buut, and a more especially home-run wallop. Coekerill, second base man. is apparently a born base ball ,player and fields well. XN'agner is the best at the third base sack and shows some skill at the bat. 5 Godown and Kramer have been icovering iirst base for some time. Although they are not experts now they are developing. Kells has been jokingly called our home- run king. Although he has not knocked a borne-run, he deserves some title to pro- claim as a hitter, for he is that. . Cole 'proved his worth in the Avondale game. He has been used since alld has come up to all expectations in the out-field. Sehrock, Cone and Lewis, the remaining iielders, are experienced players, and can be relied upon on all occasions. ....un!lun'--- The lnclianola Swimming Team i Indianola has won higher honors in the water than on the floor. This year, the tirst year she has -participated in a swimgning league. Ind-ianola won the championship. Six meets were held at the Athletic Club pool, and quite a bit of excitement was caused at the last few meets. The boys did not win by so large a margin as the girls and there were not a few hot finishes. Captain Shililette, the chief participant, dove and swam with the ease and graceful- ness of a born swimmer. He was entered in the main events, and as a rule carried ott the titles. Tom Rogerson also dove and swa'n creditably, and showed some real ability along this line of athletics. Tom lla nilton and Don Mills made a couple of dandy swimmers, and did their share in helping lndianola bring home the bacon. These four now, proudly wear their I's. There were 'several other entries but they apparently swam too long in one placeyand it was seen lit to yank them., Mr. Hitchcock and Mr. Bryan were the coaches. ...,m1l:'1Il -- XN7hy do we call a handcutif a bracelet? asked the commissioner of an Irish recruit. XVell, because it is intended for arrist, re- plied the applicant, and he got the position at once. . Jim K.: Is there any difference between a real estate dealer and me? Clay E.: Yes, lots. Sportsman: Is there much good hunt- ing in these parts of the country? Native: Sure, there's plenty of hunting but dommed little finding. U Miss Roth: I can see that your jaw is working. Ray Qin Yes, ma'am. Miss Roth: VVell, come up and put it in the waste basket. Q Tom: Sure, Nellie, health is a good thing to have. Nellie: Yes, Tom, epecially when you're sick. Bob R.: VVhat is memory, Thomas? Thomas: ulhfell, it's something a fellow forgets with when he owes you money.

The good old basket ball has seen ser- vice only once in a regular game since the season's close, that being play-ed between the Indianola girls and boys. Too bad. boys, but no one could expect an Indianola Girls' team to get defeated when they were playing their best. Miss Daum and Mr. ryan both play-ed, and the only points scored by the boys were the two baskets made by Mr. Bryan. The score was Girls 9-Boys 4. No doubt the boys would have had a higher score if they had not been fouled so much for over-guarding. However, the basket ball does not lie idle. Basket ball goal shooting has been the feature of nearly all the duel meets, and always resulted in our favor. Those who have participated in these events are Dorothy Bloom, Annabelle Tuttle, Lelia MeDerrmot, NelYaTa Vtlinn, Inez Toy, Evelyn Rhineburg, Billy Allen and Dorothy Kiefer. In the meet with Crestview bas- ket ball distance throws' was the feature. Dorothy Bloom, Inez Toy and Marciel Tickle were the stars. Other events of the duel meets, of which only one has been lost, were calisthenics, races and ball throws. In some baseball games have been an interesting feature. The girls were not in the league but have .1 hue team which, though quickly organized and with no practice at all, won a game with a score of 10 to 6. The members of this teain are: Inez Toy, pitcher and captaing Marciel Tickle, catcherg Dorothy Bloom, first-basemang Katherine Koch, seeondg NeVVaTa Vtfinn, thirdg Anna Belle Tuttle, short-stop, and Mary Edith Thom-son and Jessica Innis, lielders.
