ATHLETIC BOARD The Logansport High School Athletic Association consists of Mr. B. F. Cox, principal, president of the North Central Conference, which is per- haps the peak of Indiana competition, Mr. Harold Mertz, who has been in- strumental in achieving financial success for Logansport athleticsg and Coach Clifford Wells, a member of the powerful National Ethics Board and author of many basketball articles. The duty of the board is to decide upon the athletic policy of the school pertaining to purqhasing athletic equipment, regulating the athletic bud- get, arranging the athletic schedule, and conducting such tournaments as may be held in Logansport. This board further determines those boys who are eligible for letters in all our high school sports, these being football under the tutelage of Coach Puett, a former Butler football star, track and B basketball under Mr. Kniesly, and golf, tennis, and basketball under Mr. Wells. The specific duties of the board are as follows: Mr. Cox, ex officio member, passes upon the eligibility of all the boys participating in high school athletics and has a veto power over all activities of the board, Mr. Mertz, the treasurer, has charge of ticket sales and the payment of all athletic bills, and Mr. Wells, athletic, director, supervises athletics in sen- ior and also in the junior high school. The board, however, subordinates the aforementioned duties to their paramount interest: namely, developing the mental, moral, and physical fitness of their players. The Athletic As- sociation maintains that its primary purpose is to make men out of boys, to instil into them drive, stamina, and determination-in short, to develop true sportsmanship. Logansport is indeed fortunate in having such a well qualified group directing its athletics. PAGE TWENTY SEVEN

PAGE TW ENTY-SIX FOOTBALL Logansport 14-Peru 6. Having been beaten in the first game of the season with the Tigers, Logansport came back with a bang by twisting a knot in the Tiger's tail. Time and time again Logansport was forced back to their goal line only to make a supreme stand and halt the onward drive of the Tigers. High- lights of the game were Buddy Moore's two sensational runs and the fine down the field blocking of the entire team. Kokomo 52-Logansport 0. Logansport, hampered by the loss of Joe Savini, who was injured in the Peru game, faced a team outweighing them by twenty pounds to the man. With Kokomo's wealth of experienced players, the Kats clawed the Red Devils to pieces. Besides tarnishing a previously fine record, the game proved very costly to Logansport in injuries: Buddy Moore tore the tendons in his ankle and Kenny McKeever suf- fered a broken wrist, both boys being lost for the remainder of the season. Marion 25-Logansport 0. In the last game of the season, the crippled Logansport squad was unable to stem the Marion tide. Due to the cold weather and the apparent lack of enthus- iasm on the part of both teams and fans, the game was a listless, uninteresting affair. The varsity lineup for the season was as follows: Left end, Lawrence Firminig left tackle, Art McGrath, left guard, Maurice Naftzgerg center, Dick Turner, rightguard, Joe Savini: right tackle, Warren Paluchniakg right end, J upe Shaver, quarter back, Kenny McKeeverg fullback, Henry Szewczykg half back, Louis Dailey, half back, Buddy Moore. every task efficiently. teams, win or lose. STUDENT MRNRGERS Time out! Water! At that call two Logansport stalwarts, Dick Waters and Charlie Dyke, rushed onto the field marrying the bucket. The Ped Devils and Coach Puett owe a vot of thanks to these boys who performed CHEER LERDERS One thing no team can do without is school support encouraged by good cheer leaders. Gordon Singer Marion Lou Alber, and Betty Mayberry when things looked a bit black were always backing up our high school
