Q' ,. HUBERT PHENICIE Left Guard His experience gave Hu- bert a big advantage over his teammates, and this could readily be seen in his ability to get loose when everyone else was covered. Hubert was often the man who started the scoring and his long ringers placed several games on ice. Sec- ond only to Phelps in field baskets made, he was also valuable for his free throws. Scoring 112 points from a guard position, av- eraging more per game than his forward, is a rec- ord of which anyone may be proud. Senior. GEO. RICHARDSON Right Guard To step into the shoes of Warren Bissell as running mate to Phenicie and come forth not lacking in honors was some task, but, lack- ing better material, we heard the refrain, Let George do it. And he did. The smallest but smooth- est player on the floor, Duke, by his passing, d o d g i n g, aggressive- ness and faculty for locat- ing the basket, won recog- nition in every contest. His foul throwing the last of the season was excellent and he broke forth with numerous field goals in the hour of need. Getting away to a poor start, he nevertheless managed to accumulate 111 points. Senior. GEORGE DUNLAP Substitute George Dunlap played enough games to win his letter, and in these con- tests he evidenced a ca- pacity for hard, rough playing which assures him of a regular berth next year. Taking the place of Cap in the Strawberry Point game, he treated the fans to an exhibition of guarding never surpassed. on the home floor. Bl, strong, with a world of fight and a good eye for the basket, Wink has the qualities from which to develop a great player. Sophomore. Field goals, 11.

EDW. BROCKMEIER Center Captain Brockmeier, al- though handicapped by his weight, was forced to assume the jumping duties for his team and then re- turn to the defense of the Manchester goal, where he presented an almost im- passable blockade for all opponents. With such de- fense assured, Cap's team- mates turned their atten- tion to the business of cag- ing the ball, in which they proved themselves a light but lightning fast quartet. For one more year will Ed- ward bring grief to Inde- pendence, Oelwein et al. EPHRAIM CLOUD Left Forward Eph was one of the cogs in the machine which put teamwork above every- thing. He was one for- ward in a lifetime who will come back and assist his guards. In several games Eph did not throw a bas- ket, but he always contrib- uted his bit toward the vic- tory. At other times he led in the scoring. Through all his work a willingness to deny himself for the general good was promi- nent. Field goals, 41. Senior. 79 RAY PHELPS Right Forward The scoring end of the game was largely taken care of by Ray. His abil- ity to roll the ball through the ring seemed at times uncanny. Fed by his team- mates, he was usually in the place to do the most good. His burst of speed in the Toledo game, in which he played rings around his guard, snatched victory from what seemed sure defeat. With this year's experience Ray should rank well among the headliners in this sec- tion of Iowa. Junior. Field goals, 66g fouls, 9. Captain Elect

Basket Ball The Manchester High School basketball tossers had one of the most successful seasons that the school had known in history, but we hope the next season will be still better. Mr. Beck, our faithful coach, picked out a team that would be hard to find in many schools of this size. Starting the season with a victory on our home floor, we Won all the games that were played on our home floor this sea- son, also a good per cent of the games away from home. Win- ning all the games on the home floor had never been accom- plished by any other team of M. H. S. that we can remember. The first game of the season was with Central City at home. This was an easy victory, with a large score of 51 to 28. Although Central City put up a splendid fight, the team work of our basket tossers completely baffled them. The second came with our friends at Strawberry Point. After a long ride in breezy weather, we reached our destina- tion, had supper, and felt in perfect condition for the battle ahead of us. We heard the men in the hotel betting their odds on Strawberry, and we learned that they had won every game this season. We had also won all of our games this season, so we surprised them by beating them on their home floor 33 to 10. The night after the Strawberry P-oint game we played the fast Toledo bunch at home. Mr. Beck had attended college at Leander-Clark, which is in Toledo, a couple of years before, so he knew what kind of teams they always had. He had always praised them very highly to us, so we knew that there would be a hard game that night. The score was 18 to 14, but it was one of the most interesting games that was played on our home floor this season, even though both of us had played the night before. We played Strawberry and they played Marion, and both of us were victorious. Then came our old friend Hopkinton, who always has a small, fast team, but nevertheless we gave them their just deserts by trimming them 39 to 9. Fourth came Monticello, whom we had never succeeded in beating until this year. They always have a fast and large bunch of men, and outclass us in size, but we outclassed them in speed and fight this year and succeeded in beating them on our home floor by a good score of 31 to 17. Our next game was at Anamosa, but with a little hard-luck playing on our part we lost to a team that sure could play on their home floor, while- their floor always seemed to be a hoodoo to Manchester, so We had to suffer our first defeat by them, with a score of 32 to 15. Then came our next victim at home, which was Independ- ence. We have always been able to win from Independence at football, but we have been getting the worst of it in basketball the last couple of years until this season, when we beat them and sent them back home to report the score of 46 to 27.
