Lewis Hall, Lewie, rivals Bob in athletic achievements. Lew is an end on the football team. His specialty is defensive work and grabbing forward passes. He plays center on the basketball team and his ability is of the highest order. Be- sides being a fairly good defensive player, he was high point man on our team. Next year's basketball team should be a great success with him as their captain. Lewie is also a capable first baseman. His long reach makes it possible for him to make many seemingly impossible stops and he is also a strong hitter. Vernon Thomas, Puggy, is one of the smallest athletes at State High, but his ability far exceeds his size. Puggy has been quarterback for three seasons. His quick eye saw many weak spots in the opponent's lineup and so he always called the right-play. He has had his collar-bone broken three times for the glory of Kent State, twice in football and once in basketball. In baseball Puggy is a whiz behind the bat and a star shortstop. Puggy's gameness is one of his best characteristics. He is a regular little hunk of dynamite. Puggy plans to enter Akron University next fall. Frederick Gombert, Fritz, has played with the grid team for two seasons. His long suit is speed, which is an important thing in any athletic event. He is also a steady pitcher. Herbert Woodworth, Butch, played his hrst year on the football team this year. Butch turned out to be a Hghting guard always striving to do his best. He is also a good long distance runner, showing up well in the inter-class track meet. Butch is a better manager than player but his services deserve a great deal of credit. Morris Metzler, NIO, has served on the basketball squad for three years but he failed to earn a letter until this year. Metzler's spirit is the best whether we are ahead or behind. Morris should be congratulated for his faithfulness in practice. He would run over to the Gym after work, climb into his suit and come down on the floor willing to do his best wherever Harsh saw fit to put him. Robert Bohecker, Bob, came to State High in his Senior year and immediately joined the football squad. Bob played a strong game at left tackle. He was heavy enough to stop nearly everything and he nearly always came across. Blair Whyte, call him Berskie, he isn't a bit proud, plays football, basketball and baseball. ln all sports he does his best and fights to the last whistle. Bersk has yet another year to display his ability and we prophesy splendid results. Frank Dangler, Frankie, is a Junior and football captain-elect. His ability merits his receiving this honor. Frank is a dash-man, and he certainly displayed his speed in football, practically always under the ball on a punt. Frankie is a four- sports star. He does well, in fact very well, in track. He will probably have a reg- ular berth on the next year's basketball team. ln baseball he fields everything at third or short and is a good batter. Not only is Frankie a good athlete but is also a splendid student. He and Lewie Hall have done much to prove that athletes, in our school at least, can make as high grades as anyone. Carmon DeLeone, Carm, played regularly at center in football, substitute guard in basketball and outfielder in baseball. Lowell Van Deusen, known as f'Fat, was the only Freshman to receive a foot- ball letter. Fat has a fine start and will, no doubt, develop into a brilliant player. He was a first-team forward in basketball and a capable outfielder in baseball. Fat is also a good track man and a fairly good tennis player. Clay Johnson is another Freshman to show up well. Clay was sub forward in basketball and a good catcher in baseball and a fine tennis player. Alex Ludick also a l reshie is a regular pitcher on the high school nine. SS
