QISOYS5 Although Monroe did not make a great success of basketball from the standpoint of games won and lost, she certainly did make a good showing considering the class of opponents she was compelled to face. Many of the opposing teams went in for the State tournaments. Monroe had five veterans and these, aided by some of the second string men, made up her team. Injury and ineligibility cut the squad down some- what. Harold XVagner, captain-elect, was declared ineligible at the end of the first semester. The regular line-up included: Capt. Rupp, Rottenbucher, Kaiser, Snyder, Leason, with Dansby, Captain-elect Vllagner, Brancheau, NfValtz and Bunkleman to step in at any time and lcnd their aid. 1925 - ,-,- ----------. - -

Those on the first and second teams or tootbali, base- ball and basketball are not allowed to compete in any interclass contest. It does serve to bring in, however, nearly every boy in nigh school in some sport or other. Many and varied were the events this year and the results, in many cases were rather surprising. The Tug-0'-war resulted in the juniors winning First place, with the Sophs second, giving the former 50 points and the latter 25 points. The Seniors were hrst in Kick-ball, earning 50 points, the Freshmen second, earning for themselves 25 points. Kick-goal brought 50 points to the winning juniors, and to the Seniors 25 points. Basket-ball free throws resulted in 50 points for the Fresh and 25 for the juniors. 7 r The basketball games gave the juniors a total of 75 points and the Soph- omores 100 points. Volley ball, another interclass activity-juniors IO Oand Sophomores 75 points. Cage ball added 50 points to the Seniors score and gave to the Sophs 1:5 points. Track work stands: Seniors 100 and juniors 75. There are two events still to be run off at this writing, but it looks as though the juniors will win the cup for the second successive season. The hest the Sophs and Seniors can do is to tie with the juniors, and that looks doubtful as the juniors have a strong team. NC' 'f +Hm-Hmmmmmwp---mh1n5q ------- nwwmwq-

Places were found by Coach Hellenberg for the men, both experienced and inexperienced. The triangular meet- Plymouth, Monroe and Ypsilanti competing- was held at Ypsilanti and was the first of the season's meets. Monroe, handi- capped by the loss of three of her best men, lost to Plymouthby one point. A dual meet was held at VVyandotte, and Monroe won this. The state meet was held at Lansing May 29-30. The teams were taken up in autos and were entertained at fraternity houses during their stay there. Monroe sowed some excellent work and gave indication of splendid training. Some of the very best athletes in the state competed in these events and com- petition,is keen. Herkimer carried off two Hrsts-in the discus and the shot. Niedermeier took fourth place in the 440. The last meet and the biggest event of the season was held at Ypsilanti in June when the Southeastern League meet was held. Eight schools com- peted and Monroe won first place, thus becoming for the third time cham- pions and bringing home the cup awarded. Monroe Hi can well be proud of her track men-they have brought much credit to the institution and to the city. The coach is to be congratulated upon turning out such a peppy bunch. ll1l
