YOUNGSTERS SHCW PROMISE Blessed with a good corp of tall, fast boys, Coach 'Warkow was able to mold his freshmen Qelsaguers into a quintet capable of whipping their opponents seven out of Len tirnes. The frosh ended their successful season in second place, Kastle, Anderson, Hoppe, Play, and Wallner were the five most dependable lads on the team and bore the brunt of the attack. The sophs also finished in second place tied howevere- thus giving the school its best record in the last five years. Although a great number of veterans graduated to the varsity ranks, Coach Warliow juggled his players so expertly that they, too, finished with a seven won and three lost record. Veterans who led the team were f-luffniaster, Bagg, Vosburgh, Monson, Hedin, and Wilkerson. Page lll

Against Glenbard the tactics were strictly offensive. The Bards were rushed off their collective feet from the start to finish and, to drag out an old, old bromide, never knew what struck them. ln the second half the second string went in to hold the fort and give the regulars a rest. When they came back they put the game on ice and the final score was 37-l9. Racine, with thirteen points, was high point man, and was pressed for scoring honors by Coman, with twelve. The Glenbard game finished up the first half of the season which found the Cubs with a .666 percentage. They had four victories under their belts and two defeats -one of which certainly was an upset. This meant that the lights had a good chance to end the season with at least nine wins. Thus at the half way point the prospects were bright. But alack, the fates willed otherwise. Although they had bowed before, the Downers boys ambushed the locals in a 33 to 23 drubbing. Turner and Potter hit consistently in the third period, and Downers forged ahead to a six-point lead, which it increased in the final period. The Cubs put up a stiff battle in the first half but fell before the superior height and aim of the undefeated, championship-bound Riverside lights. The boys in blue were victorious by a 26-lil score at the end of the fourth quarter. Nichols played an outstanding defensive game: Racine was high scorer for the evening with nine points. A defeat by York ran the Cubs' losing streak to three games. lnspired by the home floor and a home crowd Togmarelli paced the Dukes to a 36-19 win with nineteen points to his credit. The hosts led from the outset and not until the last five minutes, when they scored nine points, did the Cubs come to life. Revenge was sweet and rough as the lights whipped Maine in a return match, 28-20. Thirty-eight fouls were called during the game and seven players banished to the showers ahead of schedule. Rushed off their feet from the start, with the score l2-l against them at the end of the first quarter, Maine never got back in the ball game. Nichols took scoring laurels for the locals with eight points. The annual pushovers-I-linsdale's mighty worriors-ran true to form in their second encounter of the year with the Cubs. l-lere is a typical comment on the game taken from the Lion: The opening period was marked with bad pass- ing and poor play by both sides. The board revealed a 3-2 count at the end of this seven minute farce. Final score was l9-lO in favor of the Cubs. The Cubs rang down the curtain on the season with the loss of a heart- breaker to Glenbard in an overtime sudden death period. Glenbard tied the score in the final minutes and then went on to victory in the overtime-27-25. Enke, Seymour Page 110 ft tl 1, t 4 i 1 ,l

Basketball probably took the greatest toll because conference track champions Saban, Wrisley, and Hen- nessey had to wait 'til the conclusion of the hardcourt season before they could lend their much-needed services to Coaches Boches and Bennett. The team's most consistent point qetter was Roy Wintermute, who scored heavily in the dash and the hurdle events. Several times during the past few months speedy Roy has swept three first places. Only one hurdler in the con- ference has the hoodoo on him, Smith of Maine who has been covering the dis- tances in near record time. Vtfintermute has not defeated the Maine star yet but hopes to break the spell soon-maybe in the District or State meets which will be held May l8 and 24 respectively. With only two weeks' preparation for his favorite event Louis Saban heaved the shot 52 feet 4 inches! This was the best recorded in the state and stamps Big Lou as the favorite to cop the state crown. Last year we well remember the way in which Saban crowded Freeman of York in an effort to wrest the title from him, but always fell short. This season Mr. Freemans record is standing in hot water and it would surprise few if the mark was bettered by the sturdy shot putter from La Grange. Page 112 ff
