THE MILLVALEAN Carl Seidl Although only a sophomore, Carl alternated with Joe Kennedy at center throughout the year. His superb tackling and backing up the line were helpful in many games. Much is expected of him in the next two years. Harry Klaas Though this was Harry's first year in football, he played in enough quarters tzo earn himself a letter. Because of an injured knee, he was forced to sit on the bench at the beginning of the year. When quite recovered, he was seen in action leading the offense on large gains. His height and weight will be needed on next year's squad. Edward Miklausic A fast sidefstepping right half for the Indians was Eta , He was chiefly noted for his brilliant defense on passing and was always intercepting the ball. Once in the open he was hard to stop :and often made large gains. His best game was at Avonworth. Albert Rosendick A small but hard right half back was Rosy , a dependable ball -carrier. Although not a regular, he managed to secure enough quarters to class himself a varsity member. He was outstanding for his line plunges which enabled 'him to make Hrst downs for his teammates. Edward Ruzomberka Because of an appendicitis operation in the latter part of August, Eddie was excluded from the lineup. His injuries healed after a ifew months' lay off and he Bnally managed to play the last game against Edgewood. George Roth Despite being a newcomer both in school and on the team, George, a rugged fullfback, finished the season with enough quarters for a letter. His greatest asset is his plunging ability which enabled the team to make those hard precilous feet for first downs. SUBSTITUTES The substitutes were john Britenbaugh, Frank Munson, James Shields, Herman Lipp, Robert Bluemling, Paul Knauer, Ellsworth Gosnell, Robert Zeppuhar, Paul Mihlfried, Earl Chambers, William Rakers and William Kuntz. Most of these boys played in games but did not earn enough quarters. This experience will prove helpful no them for next year.

TI-IE M I LLVALEAN BASKETBALL SEASON The basketball team, composed mostly of seniors and freshmen, enjoyed a fair season. During the regular season, the Indians won twelve games land lost ten. Though losing some very close games, Millvale managed to end up in third place in Section 18 with eight victories and six setbacks. Millvale displayed some brilliant playing in administering defeats to Oakmont, Verona and East Deer, and in being the only team in the league to come as close as three points in losing to Etna, winner of the section. The team was generally handicapped by the inexperi' ence of most of the members. The underclassmen, composing the second team, gained valulaible experience which will prove valuable to them next year.
