THE STATES MAN Golf As soon as the Spring rains vanished and the sun came peeping through the clouds Coach Mike I-lerchek called for the prospects from which he built Kent State high school's 1936 golf team. As an answer to his call he was greeted by the candidates, some new and some that had played before. Those who reported were Gene Dietrich, Dick Truxell, Edward Stonemetz, Fred Gressard, Glen Wilcox. Charles Scott, julio Labajetta, Bill Hen- dershied, Fred Lowe, and joe Colton, In order to make it easier to pick his first team, Coach Herc hek took the golfers to Maple Crest golf course where each member was given a trial. The four with the best score made the first team. They were Gene Dietrich, Ed Stonemetz, Bill Hendershied, Fred Gressard. Julio Labajetta came fifth, he was used as an alternate. These Eve members represented Kent State high's golf team. After practicing for a awhile, the team made its first showing against the Roosevelt Rough Riders. By means of good playing on the part of the Kent team , Roosevelt was held to one point , while Kent scored eighteen.

THE STATESMAN Tennis Kent State high's tennis team this year will have but one vet- eran of last year's team. Art Cherry, member of the 1935 tennis team which won the Western Reserve League championship, will be back to comprise the bulwark of the 1936 team. Art Cherry and Dick Gardner had second place in the dou- bles. We have also lost Bill Stringer and Bob Maxwell who placed first and third in the singles. Possible candidates to play in this year's tournaments are Bob Curtis, Stephen Chip', West, Glen Wilcox, Bob Jones, Bill Mc- Intyre, and Bob Drew. . The runner-up last year, the school holding second place in the tournament, was Wadsworth and .they will have the same team. Also Roosevelt will have the same team as last year. Coach Mike Herchek was unable to give any information as to who would be the letter-winners when we went to press. Only three of State's team will be back next year, but we hope that Kent State will bring home the cup to repose in the trophy case every year. I 1 I PAGE 75
