HOOSIER POET TENNIS The Tennis Club sponsored by Miss Murphy has practiced the fundamentals of tennis all winter in the Gym. The Tennis Team. made up of Bill Taylor, Bob Wilson. Robert Shrader. Leo Andrichik. and Paul Edson has played sev- eral warm-up matches this spring. The team will lose its first and second men by graduation. but they have a fair chance of having a great team next season. TRACK Eorty-seven candidates answered the call of Coaches I-Iafron and XVood for the Riley Track and Eield Team of l936. Six let- termen of last year remained to form the nucleus. Good. Emboden. Sweitzer, Pal- mer. Kossack and Tingley. The Cats worked out in the boiler room. taking exercises. until the outdoor weather was permissible. The Purple and Gold thinlies were en- tertained March Z3 with the Gary Invita- tional Indoor Meet at Notre Dame. An inter school color meet was staged March 30 in the Riley Bowl. Jerry Em- boden's team tallied up the most points while Wes Goods squad ran a close second. April 6. Coach I-lafron in the initial outdoor meet- with Knox. here. used his entire squad. The local lads with Em- boden and Tingley the main point getters. took the weak Knox team. Tingley set a new field record of five feet nine inches for the high jump. April lO the I-Iafron men tried their skill against the Maroons of Mishawaka. The Visitors swamped the Riley tracksters by taking all but two blue ribbons. Several records were threatened but none were broken. Riley was the host of a quadrangular cinder meet April l3. Teams who com- peted in the meet were Riley, Nappanee. Goshen, and Warsaw. April 17, Riley competed in a return meet with Misha- waka. The Poets went on their first trip. which was the Laporte cinder covered oval. April 20.

Bob Vw'ilson, Robert Schrader. Leo Andrichik, Bill Taylor. NSENIORS TRCUNCE VARSITYN The senior football eleven avoided a recision of their game contract by making an undergraduate squad dance to a lively tune. KNO Wagner. not Tiger Rag. l Everybody lexcept the varsityj seemed to enjoy the concert. Until now, we always thought a football team consisted of eleven men, but we found we were mistaken lAsk I-Ieinie.l Coach Norris's team made enormous gains via the air route. while the Woodsmen kept both their feet on the ground lwhenever they could.b Woods substituted several squads and sent the survivors to the showers. Norris kept his fourteen men in continuous rota- tion and did that which is the ambition of all coaches-converting tackles into quar- terbacks. None of the boys succumbed to the grind. for. after all. they are supposed to be football players. A few, though, had a hard time recovering their com- posure. Oh yes. we almost forgot to men- tion. the score was 6-O. Yes, girls, it was Harold I-Ioladay. E. B. Q5 J. B. The fog was dense when the old lady aske.l the captain why he didn't go on. A'Can't see up the river. Madam. But, Captain, she persisted. I can see the stars overlieadf' Yes, ma'am, said the captain. but until the boilers bust we ain't goin' that way.
