INTERCLASS SPORTS The Class of 1926, as in all its other work, made a good showing in interclass sports throughout all four years. As Freshmen, with teams made up from all classes of the Freshmen year, we fared poorly in basketball. With a rather inexperienced, unsure basketball team, we played out every game but were obliged to succumb to the fast game of the heavier quintets of third and fourth year men. However, a Freshman's place is any- where but at the head of class sports. As Sophomores we fared little better, being forced once more to the last position, although we played with decidedly improved teams than those of the preceding year. As third year men, we came into our own by taking the basketball honors, in a fast playoff game with the Sophomores. Our team was vastly improved, with Duffy and Mangini in the leading parts. A swimming meet was held in June of the Junior year, and we were again forced to suffer defeat. In volleyball we had to be contented with third place, the Sophomores taking this first honor also. As sophisticated Seniors, we were all ready for a banner season, but were forced once more to bow to the Juniors in both basketball and volley- ball. In basketball, after our winning the first series and the Juniors' winning the second, we met in the play-off and were defeated by the dis- couraging score of 18 to 16. Reid, May, and Schneider bore the bulk of the attack in this game, but history repeated itself. In volleyball, with but a single defeat, we again placed second to the Juniors who finished the season with a clean slate. The Juniors have shown themselves to be good sports and very consistent winners, and will no doubt set the pace in their last year. Robert Emil Schneider. Page Eighty-threa

F .A--pr ' r I.Il WED? gf Connecticut, being eliminated by Terryville in a game marked by erratic foul-shooting and un- balanced teamwork. The members of the team, however, deserve much credit for the work which each one did in every game whether the game was won or lost. Roy Garner is, without dispute, the best bas- ketball guard developed at Leavenworth to date. Garner's work was of the highest caliber throughout the past season- Roy was suitably honored by being chosen as guard on the All- State team which was selected from teams par- ticipating in the Class C and D Tournament at Storrs. Captain Simons, Frank DiBiase, Slim Shea, Bus Tracy, and Coer also played steadv bas- ketball along with Chick Carolan, Skinny Balanda, and Pitcavage who were first-string substitutes. Page Eighty-two Simons displayed an uncanny ability at sinking the sphere from long distances, and he was always one of the leading scorers. With the exception of Shea and Coer, the team was composed entirely of Juniors so that pros- pects for next year's team are the brightest pos- sible. Coach Laun must be given credit for his good work in developing the team to this high stage and for bringing out individual players in this popular court game. Manager James Nash also worked up a good schedule for both home and out-of-town games. For the first time in the history of the school, the team had a large group of followers at al- most every out-of-town game. Robert Emil Schneider if R
