Football - Section Champions Once again Lane has proved she is the “S chool of Champions’ ' by producing one of the best teams that she has ever sent out on the gridiron. They only brought home the north section champ¬ ionship but established a record which was un¬ matched by any other school in the city. Out of six league games Lane won all, scoring a grand total of 225 points, allowing only two teams to score against them. Entering into their first game as the under¬ dog the Indians held the powerful Senn team for three quarters, then Aldo Bizzotto broke home licking their wounds after suffering defeats, Amundsen 52-0 and Waller 66-6. Although they were pushed out of the city finals by Fenger the Lane team still had the best rec¬ ord in the city. In the poll for the north section team Bob Garcea and Bill Fisher took tackle positions and George Erath center on the first team. Dick Ber¬ ger and Milt Weinberg were placed on the second team while Chuck Koehler and Aldo Bizzotto were given honorable mention. Key members of the football squad are: through and ran thirty-four yards for a touch¬ down, giving Lane a 6-0 victory. The next game with the Schurz Bulldogs yielded another 6-0 victory for Lane when Frank Seyferlich plowed over for the only touchdown late in the second quarter. The following week the Indians scalped Lake View 58-0. Sullivan unlike the other teams, was able to score 6 points against us, but with runs by Dick Berger, Alex Cichanski, and Chuck Koehler we rolled up thirty-seven points, more than making up our loss. Following the rapid succession came Amund¬ sen and Waller. Both met the same fate and went Bert Arnow (B), Bob Beam (B), Dick Berger (B), Ray Berndston (B), Aldo Bizzotto (B), Alex Cichanski (B), J.

GYMNASTICS Under the able leadership of Coach Klafs, Lane’s gymnastic team, which consists of the Novice, Intermediate, and Championship groups, has a very good chance of taking the city meet which will be held sometime in April. Don Klemp, the captain, and Larry Pauly, the co-captain of the team, along with Jerry Bruck¬ ner, Perry Mohlar, A1 Blau, and Joe Lo Bianco are a few of the returning lettermen who star on the horizontal and parallel bars. Also coming back this year is Irving Bedard, Lane’s star tumbler, who is not only state champ and runner up in the nationals but is also one of the only three persons in the world who can do a two and one half twist. Some of the more or less difficult stunts to perform are the hip circle, reverse giant, half giant, and cross hand uprise. FRESH-SOPH FOOTBALL Page ninty-nine
