I ll E R O C' K E T Page Twenty-sev 9 1? Xl PTIONSE REDAISKE, 'HXlly - Right Guard NAlly is slippery, fast and clever. Many were the vic- tims of his ducking and dodging. Many a game would have been lost. if it hadnlt been for this Hashy guard. H.Xlly', was a uew mau, but proved to be a match for auy opponent. 'lie will be back next year. TERNOX BRTTDER, '4Jim - Left Guard Nothing ever got by Jin1'l. He was all over the floor and worried his opponents every minute. Not only was he a clever guard,' but a sure shot from almost any position on the floor. 'iflinil' is coming back and we hope hc will play the same style of game next season. HAROLD SCHUKNECHT, Jazz - Sub. A new man in the making.

Page Twen ty-six THE ROCKET EARL CARL MR. PIKE M r. Pike, our coach, friend, and teacher, surely deserves more than these few lines in behalf of his coaching of the team of 1919-1920. The success of the team was wholly dependent upon him. His plays and signals baffled our op-ponents at all times. It was his encourage- ment between halves that brot us back on the floor twice as strong as before. Those who knew him, not only as a coach, but as a friend, need only think of him as a true friend. His friendship will never drift from the hearts of the team of 1919-1920. WALTER SCHUMAN, f'Schuey -- Left Forward The flashy and clever little captain proved to be the greatest point-maker of the team. Sehuey played a wonderful game of basketball and the school is mighty fortunate to have him coming back. As captain, he guided the team with a cool head and was responsible for the excellent team-work. YOUNGBECK, 'cflhunkil - Right Eorward 'fChunk , heavy, fast and powerful, could always be found in the thick of a game. Being an accurate shot -and a fast iioor man, makes Chunk,' an invaluable man on the team.. He is with us again next vcar and we are 1, . looking forward to some real class. RUEDEBUSCH, NCarp'l, '4Sliml', 4'l.cgs,' - Center Carp,, held the pivot position thruout the entire season and very capably at- that. Altho Carp,' was 'a new man, he developed in an amazing style and turned out to be a consistent point-maker. He out-jumped all of his op- ponents, thanks to his long legs. Vile are sorry that he will not be with ns next year.

L , Page Twenty-eight T H E R 0 C K E T The Trip The day Hnally arrived when the Basket-Ball Team was scheduled to play one of those 'fhard gamesfl Randolph was supposed to have ia very good team. The trip over to Randolph was not very exciting, many of the players fell asleep. The excitement started when we arrived at the large town of Ran- dolph. As usual there was nobody to meet us, so we sought our way up to the High School. Here we were treated with a little more respect, wc were taken around the school, and we were invited to visit their classes. In the Junior English Class, Nvalter Schu- mann lost his heart due to the fact that he sat behind one of those good look- ing ones, so he claims. After supper we were taken to the basket-ball hall, which was in the gym of the high school, and we were told to get ready for thc game. At this mo- ment, l think, our boys threw off their friendly feeling for our hosts -and made up their minds that they would defeat Randolph. Even lValter had no time to look for the f'Wonderful Girlv he had met just a few hours before. XVe had to wait until the girls of the high school had played their slow and imexciting game of basket-ball. The girls' game, tho lasting only twenty minutes, seemed like twenty years to us, because by this time we were pretty anxious to get into the game. At last the whistle blew for our game to start. The first half was mostly floor-work, and rough floor-work at that. The score at the end of the first half was Randolph 4, Mayville 'ISO Randolph Between halves we decided to play the game a little harder and hit just as hard as Randolph had been hitting in the first half. The second half started with our de- termination thoroly fixed in mind, and it worked pretty good, too. The battle was getting thicker and hotter, when we saw our fast little guard NJin1,' ly- ing o11 the floor. Upon examining him we found his aw was dislocated. With the assistance of Mr. Pike, HzTl1'1'1,S,, jaw was quickly doetored up -and the game started with its usual speed. We soonfound out that we had them out- elassed in every way. XVe doubled our score, and Randolph made one free throw. The big game was over with a score of Mayville 10, Randolph After the game we were treated 'fRoyally,' by the students of the Ran- dolph High School, a banquet being given in our honor by the Domestic Science Department. 'fThanks to the girls rt The hour finally came when we had eaten everything in sight, and we were taken by the Randolph boys to their own homes. Rut. som.e of our boys de- cided that they could sleep better in a hotel than in a private home. It was due to this fact that HJ-azz took an aw- ful fall down the steps, causing much disturbance in the hotel. Finally we were settled in our rooms and had a good night's sleep. We felt as if we were being ill-treated when we were awake-ned at six o'clock the next morn- ing to catch our train.
