E. RUSSELL BRADLEY DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS Though it is true that no coach can build a good team out ol poor material, it it is equally true that no material, however good it may be, can be ol any use without o good coach to mold it into a smooth, coordinative machine. And it has been in this capacity, a -moldfr ol teams, that Mr. Bradley has been of such inestimable service to the sports department and also to the whole school. lnterested in the development ol First the individual, then the team, Brad has had an outstanding record as Director ol Athletics, among whose duties included the coaching ol the basketball and baseball teams, which have enjoyed more than average success down through the years. But, ol lar greater importance than Brads actual worlc has been, we leel, the influence which he has had on all ol the boys with whom he has come in contact. ln these boys, Mr. Bradley has instilled a love ol clean competition, a sense ol lair play, and a real pleasure in doing a tasl4 well. These qualities are invaluable in malcing a boy physically, mentally, and morally alert and capable. Brads consummate knowledge of sports, his ever-youthlul interests and view- points, his sympathetic, intelligent handling ol boys, and his unlailing sense ol humor have combined to malce him one ol the best loved and most respected men ever to enter Latin. lt somehow seems impossible to visualize him in any other place save Latin, where his name has become synonymous with all ol the ideals and traditions lor which the School stands. 551

ZAPTAIN 'l'A'rm Beset by hard luck and injuries, Latin's football team played through a fairly good, though not highly successful season. The final tabulation found two ties, one victory, and two defeats marked upon the team's record. l'larvard, an annual rival, did not play due to a rain storm which made conditions impossible for the game. The loss of the team's two regular tackles after playing the Milwaukee University School, our second game, proved to be the turning point of the season. That contest saw the final services of Chuck Ford and Captain Bob Tate. The opening game found an over-confident Latin eleven held in reserve by a stubborn Todd team. With the exception of one scoring threat by each team the game was a constant dog-fight around mid-field and ended in a scoreless tie. Larry Ely was lost for the season as a result ofa sprained ankle obtained in this contest. The most brilliant game was, of course, against the Milwaukee University School, which we won by the score of 'l9 to O. This victory broke the jinx University had held over Latin since the beginning of our football relations with them several years ago. With an effective passing and running attack, balanced by a steady defense, Latin completely outplayed the Wisconsin team. Discouraged by the loss of several players because of injuries, the team was mauled by a heavy and hard-running Milwaukee Country Day team. The score was 33-O. The high point of the season for hard luck was reached in the Parker game, which ended in a tie. After running up a 'IQ-O lead at half-time, Latin saw its lead dwindle because of its inability to cope with Parkerls baffling running attack. Then, in the final few minutes, we started a desperate passing attack which carried us to our opponents' Q0 yard line, only to have the time-keepers gun end the struggle. The final game ofthe season saw a hard-fighting Latin team hold a much heavier North Shore outfit to a scoreless tie until the last quarter, when Mechem drove over for six points and a victory. We made several threats, once penetrating within the enemy's Q0 yard line, but we were unable to push over a score. Though graduation will take many of the regulars this year, we are confident that Coach Rokusek will do his usual fine job next year with the material on hand. 61
