Built around Captain Willens, Winnie Cohen, Whitie Kohn, Slingey Kanter, Mac Lebedinsky, and Marty Bruno, the heavies provided Medill history. Losing to Har- rison, Austin, Crane, and Marshall, they came back to trounce Harrison, Austin, Marshall, McKinley Q21 and winning a protest from Harrison, thus having six games to their credit. It was now necessary to beat Crane to enter semi-finals. Leading throughout the entire game, the Medill hopes were dashed to the ground by a basket by Gaber and a sudden rally by Crane. So we ended a successful season and ended in third place, one game behind Marshall. Captain Lester Willens. Lesty was the mainstay of the team, was a dead shot, and a man much feared in this section. Mac Lebedinsky. Mac had them all buffaloed this year and went thru a successful season. ' Vincent Marte. Marte was a fast man and he put those baskets in when they counted most. Back next year.

100 T-HE MEDI-LLITE , . 4- SOCCER TEAM . it if' The Medill Soccer Team did not win the city championship this year, but nevertheless succeeded in adding glory to Medill by-I making itself dangerous to every team in the league. .,,,9, Handicapped by having only two veterans left from last ,years squad, the Maroon and White proceeded to make a long, desperatefigiht for the section pennant. A few practice games were held which enabled coach Center to become more acquainted with his material. Following this the team made an inauspicious start of the season, tying Lane by the score of 1-1. Lake View, an aggressive opponent, then defeated Medill, 1-0, after which we tied Crane, an ancient rival, by the score of 0-O. The Maroon and White aggregation then opened up with a bang. With a spurt that could not be checked, we defeated Schurz, 3-0. Be- ginning our second round, we met Lane 'again-and this time emerged victorious, 1-0. Lake View, now the league leader, was our next oppon- ent. Fighting as they had never before, the Medill booters beat their way to victory, and when the final whistle blew, led their somewhat heavier antagonists by the score of 2-1. This put us but one point behind first place, and so strong were our hopes for a championship that for the first time in years a pep meeting was held to spur on a Medill team. But all ourhopes were in vain: for in our next game, played against Crane, which was deemed a weak team, our boys were overconfident, and as a result ended the game in a dead-lock, 0-0. Disheartened, the Medill aggregation dropped its last, game, 1-0, to Schurz.
