CRQSS COUNTRY E5 A - Coach Boches, Sipek, Rose, Richardson, Willi, Morgan, Mgr. Thommen. Under the new athletic administration, cross country is not held as an important competitive sport. No attempt was made to develop an unbeatable team. Coaches Boches and Bennett were determined to give every boy a chance to run so as to develop him for the more important track team. Only one dual meet was scheduled and that with Maine. This event was lost decisively and only paved way for a similar defeat in the conference meet. Two veterans, Willi and Sipek, finished third and fourth respectively, in the conference meet and showed great promise for the track season. Every other lad on the team was given an opportunity at one time or an- other to display his wares before the eyes of their mentors. ln this manner the coaches were able to weed out a few of the better boys and groom them for the track team. Bob Willi is counted on greatly in the middle distances and should score heavily. Al Sipek, who trailed Willi to the tape in fourth place in the confer- ence meet, will run the mile for the tracksters. All in all the season was very uneventful but served as an excellent con- ditioning expedient. Page 97

HEAVIES WIN SECOND PLACE lf someone with rare and magical powers should approach the coaches and the players on the 1939 football squad and offer to turn back time long enough for them to play over again one game, it is a pretty safe bet as to which one it would be. lt wouldn't be the McKinley game, even though it was a lot of fun romping over the turf and running up a sweet 27 to 7 victory. Doubtless the boys would pass up a chance at that big Morton team, although revenge would be welcome after the l4 to 6 beating at its hands. lt would give everyone a lot of pleasure to be able to repeat those wins over the arch rivals, Riverside and l-linsdale. But no, there would be nothing they could wish more than another crack at Glenbard. At two-thirty P. M. on Saturday, October 14, the Lions were undefeated in con- ference play. Two weeks before, they had won a knock-them-down-and-drag-'em- out affair from Riverside l5 to 7. A safety in the first quarter, a plunge by Saban in the second period, and a lunge later by Coman accounted for the LaGrange scor- ing. Une week previous Hinsdale had succumbed before superior power and blocking, 27 to 3. The team had been getting fine punting from the toe of Coman. Rugged Louis Saban had been cutting the opposing line to ribbons. The team had surrendered 3l points in the four previous games while picking up 75. At 4 P. M.
