THE STATESMAN Although our season was marked by anything but success, it may be pointed out that our boys fought every minute of play. It takes a lot of intestinal fortitude to come back week after week and play with all you have when you have taken a beating the week before. Cut hats are off to our team. They may have lost most of our games but they kept our standing high because they refused to quit. Coach Coolze did a remarkable job, in as much as he had but two letter men to build his team about. In an effort to give our players more experience in football, an extra game was added to schedule, before our encounter with Roosevelt. The selected opponent being Bath high school. In this game we gained our only win. Hansen took a pass and scored early in the game. Bath then marched back and tied it up. But finally victory was ours when the line opened a hole for Wiland who drove across the goal from the four yard line. Final score State 13, Bath 7. We will lose nine men from this years squad by graduation. They are: Captain Lewis DeWeese, Bill Burrell, Dick Wiland, Bill Kuss, John Duke, Dwight Stewart, Chip', West, Bob Dumm, and Dick Kline. It need not be said that the loss of these boys will weaken out 1936 team, that is self evident. However we wish to point out that State will be capably represented next year. Hansen, Stonemetz, Drew, Gressard, Smith, Truxell, Harris, Visca, Foster, Haughawout, O'Bryant, and Ingham will be the nucleous of what appears to be a strong eleven.

THE STATESMAN Basketball 'ln spite of the fact that State finshed the season with six wins against ten defeats, it was a complete success when the team de- feated our rival, Roosevelt, for the first time since 1032. Playing the most inspired game of the year, the boys came through in grand style and handed Rough Riders a 2248 drubbing in their second encounter at Wills gym. With no letter men back Coach Herchek was forced to bring up the second team of last year entact. Thus, we started the year with Warner, Hansen, Dussel, Burrell, and Wiland on the first tive. These boys started the campaign with a bang when theyjour- neyed to Stow and-handed the Stow lads 29-26 defeat. State trail- ed 26-l4 at the end of the third period, but the team staged an uphill fight and scored twelve points in the last quarter while holding Stow scoreless to grab the victory. Then came our first meeting with Roosevelt. The Blue Devils again held their opponents scoreless in the last period, but were unable to overcome an early lead and fell 22-16. Next came the 193536 champions of the Western Reserve league, Ravenna, and we absorbed a 3222 shellacking as Glendale White, rangy Raven center, rang up 18 points. Following this came Springfield Twp. and they repeated the process by overwhelming the Staters 44-24 at Springfield. PAGE 70 '
