Frising, Budleman, Costello, Ruiss, Brother Lewis, Walsh, Pettit and should be dynamite next year and we are hoping Willie McManus will knock off a few more no-hitters. Mr. Cuneen has the congratulations of the class of '48 for his ceaseless labor- ings with the team and Ken Hughey, that umpire-baiter third base coach, has our good luck and best wishes upon his return to the pro ranks with the St. Louis organization. Hyde-Met, Handball Champ and Coach, Mr. Cuneen HYDE WINS HANDBALL CHAMPIONSHIP Henry Hyde, red-headed sophomore, took C.H.S.A.A. handball singles title with comparative ease in May, by the score of 21-14. Mowing down all competition, he beat boys from schools with large enrollments, such as Loughlin and St. Michae1's high schools. As De La Salle's only entry, he showed himself very well and should be congratulated for a fine performance. Good work, Henry! Here's to two more titles! 1948 75
