Q B5 Hack Row-Coach Street, Rynne, Simmons, jaeohs, Dipple, Manager Thompson Front Row-Ludwig, Harry Voorhees, Captain Harold Voorhees, Merkley, Black Une of the team's chief scorers and player most mentioned for an All-ill. l A A berth, is Captain-elect Harry Voorhees. Harry, a Sophomore, exhibited a plutkiness that time after time forced baskets directly under the noses of the towering guards who frequently opposed him. He can play forward and guard positions with equal facility although running guards is the position that he most often plays. Captain Casey Voorhees, speedy, heady, and always alert, was a mainstay of the squad at all times. Several victories are directly attributable to his headwork in calling signals. hlerkley is another man of All-RI. I. A. A. rank. He is the best and most accurate forward on the squad. Always dependable, he rendered inval- uable service through a dillicult season. Black and Ludwig, in the guarding positions, gained considerable glory by their steady blocking of enemy attacks. The tact that opponents' victories were won largely by the long shot route indicates their guard- ing ability. Tom Shepherd played a fine grade of ball in the first live games of the year and then left tor the U. of ll. -lohn Rynne got in nine games for short intervals and showed considerable promise. Simmons, Jacobs, Hinckley, and Dipple were injected for a few minutes in ll couple of games. But the first five men named bore the brunt of the entire season. Things look bright for a winning season tor next year. 117 - x lk C'.iP'1'.x1N-ELEe'r H ,num Vookmzes

UR the second consecutive year in the history of KI. competition, Kalamazoo runners won the championship opposition. In the try-outs shortly before the opening of the season, Peterson came in first, Osborn second, Brown third, Davis fourth, Denison fifth, and Kloag sixth. 'lihis team repeated last year's performance by winning second place in the state inter-collegiate five-mile run at ll. A. C. on November 10th. In a fast field of sixty runners, Peterson placed 4th, Osborn 15th, Brown 1-lth, Davis llnd, Denison 25th, and Kloag 27th. Inasmuch as the Orange and Black was competing against the best college teams in the state, it was considered a high honor to finish so well. 'lihe KI. 1. A. A. was run off over a 3.8 mile course at Ypsilanti, on November 17. 'llhe weather and the course were ideal for a fast race, resulting in the record breaking time of 20 133. Besides Kalamazoo, teams representing Klich- igan State Normal. Hillsdale, Olivet, and Albion competed. Carpenter of Ypsilanti finished first, Yvillets of Hillsdale second, followed closely by Brown, Peterson, and Osborn of Kazoo, in the order named. Denison finished 7th, Davis 12th, and llloag 14th. Kalamazoo won over Ypsilanti, the runner- up, 51-38. Harold Brown has captained the team for two years and his loss by graduation will be greatly felt. However, the re- maining five members of the 1923 team will return next year, and with lllerrill Peterson as their captain, they should again bring back the championship to liazoo. 119 1. 1.
