Q l l I l 1 1 Bob Gollan, Bob Taylor, Bob Schneider, Jack Robertson, Tom Loesch, Bill Titus, Dave Quane GOLF This yearis golf team did an excellent job while competing in a rough conference schedule. Such teams as Thorton, Joliet, Wright, and Morton gave the golfers tough competition. The golfers finished third in the annual state meet held at the White Pines Golf Club. For the second season in a row, the J.C. boys fihished well near the top of the conference. The returning lettermen, Jack Robertson, Tom Loesch, and Bob Schneider, had able help from Freshmen Bill Titus, Dave Quanne, and Bob Gollan. These boys did a fine job and deserve a round of applause for their efforts. Of the six triangular meets this year, the IC. team took three first places and two seconds and tied once for second. ln a dual meet, they defeated Wright .lunior College for a total of four firsts in seven meets. Low man for the season was Dave Quane, who will be returning to lead the Ramblers next year. A vote of thanks goes to lVIr. Bennett, who coached and managed the team this year. His efforts enabled the school to place a golf team in competition. His guidance was greatly appreciated. l 3 I l E E A l 1 r l K I 'NK wt

Playing their home games at East Avenue and Shawmut Park' the t s. eam com- piled a very creditable conference record, finishing high up in the standings. The highlight of the conference games was a resounding 22 to T defeat absorbed bv the Xorth Park Vikings at the hands of the hard hitting Ramblers. A high point of the non-conference season occurred in the extra inning. 5-4 victorv over a 'Teinforcedw Wheaton MBT' squad. The Ramblers defeated a varsity pitcher who had. onlv a short time before. defeated one of the top college teams of the South. Coach Leiber, due to the great versatility of his team. rearranged his starting line- up manv times during the season with only Paul Schmidt. catcher. and Jack Robert- son. shortstop, receiving constant employment at their positions.
