y Ss Jqifzlciics . . . W 2 w 5 Sports are a year round activity in Larksville High. Football begins shortly after the opening of school, basketball continues through the win- ter months an baseball closes the sports activi- ties right up until the end of school. The success of these intramural sports depends largely on the ability of the coaching staff and the ability of the players. Larksville High has a very efficient coaching staff, and one that has produced many championship teams. Both veterans at coaching, Mr. Shimko and Mr. Stush produce a good team each year. Due to the change in the high school plan, Mr. Shim- ko has been assigned to teach the Junior and Senior classes French leaving the Basketball coaching to Mr. Stush. Mr. Stush still teaches the junior schools phys- ical education and aids Mr. Shimko in coaching the football and baseball teams. Mr. Shimko still teaches the high school classes physical education. 4

Ed Shank Tomek, who actecllas captain was a good sport as well as an excellent line backer. He was helped considerably by the deceptive ball handling of Boot Niznik. Ed Gryskiewicz, a sturdy lineman, was elected by his teammates to captain next year's team. He will be backed up by an experienced squad composed of Little Gene Carr, a slick broken field runner, Bernie Zielinski, and Ben Barsh. Muxy Gimble, Franny Fisher, Lenny Krofchick, and Bill Dougherty, whose re- serve strength was appreciated by the team, are leaving this year due to graduation. Orgy Yanok and Rudy Fender formed the bulk. of the line which at most times was inpenetrable. The outside of the line was taken care of by Tommy Korshalla and Hoppy Gimble, ..--ji
