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

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

Hennessey, too, bids fair to become a champion in his event, high jumping. More than once Dean has just barely missed clearing the six-foot mark. Most of his jumps have cleared the five-ten barrier. Chuck Wilson has distinguished himself ,as of probably conference cham- pionship caliber, too, in successfully trouncing his opponents in the quarter mile run. l-lis best time to date is an excellent 53.2. Dave Wrisley, conference broad jump champ of last year, has had consid- erable difficulty with his tootsies and therefore has not lived up to expectations. The coaches feel sure that Dave Will respond to treatments and Win back his title. Doc l-litzel also has gathered a good number of points for the school in the pole vaulting event. Doc Was one of the boys troubled with ineligibility and it was not until Coach Boches found some technicality in the ruling that he Was permitted to strut his stuff. Sam Timpton, whose illustrious brother left an envi- able record here some two years ago, came in for more than his share of points in pushing Wintermute for the hurdles title. The two hurdlers gave La Grange the best duet in the conference. The outcome of the conference meet, which will be held as usual at La Grange, will tell Whether or not the Lions will cop the Presidents cup, emblem- atic of all around supremacy in conference competition. lf the boys Win the meet they Will be assured of the cup no matter what the other schools do. A sec- ond in the standings would give the school no worse than a tie in the Presidents ratings and, should anyone but York Win the set-to, La Grange would still be the winner ,I Lx. 1 1 7 L -y E K ff r .aft HENNESSEY SABAN Page 113
