We went to Indianola to play in the county tournament, but were defeated in the first game by the Carlisle. team. Carlisle went on to win the county tournament. Our final record for both the fall and spring season was an even break in twelve contests. FALL 1935-SPRING 1936 This year's team has had a very good record to date, winning five and losing two during the fall season and winning four and losing two so far this spring. Lettermen back from last year are Murphy, Martens, Wise, Lee, Siedel and Cellan. Last fall's battery of Monroe and Wheeler left us during the school year. Bill Cellan has developed into a good pitcher and is sharing the twirling with Chip Kellar. McConnell and Melroy are doing the receiving. Martens. Frazier, Murphy and Siedel form the infield, Linnane is at roving short, while Lee, Wise and Sheehey play the outfield. Reserves are Miller, Smith and Sinn. With harder hitting to matclrthe good pitching, we have a chance bo win the Warren county softball trophy. The champion of our league, composed of Norwalk, Spring Hill, Indianola and Martensdale, meets Beech for the title. Page Twenty O o'o Q ,Q
