Due, however, to the green- ness of the material and aided and abetted by the unusually rainy weather, the season was not especially successful so far as winning games was concerned. However, much material was developed for 1925 as the season this year so far shows. The best game was playe dat Birmingham. The locals were defeated by a score of 3 to 2 when in the ninth inning, Birmingham succeeded in putting across the winning run. lt was an exciting and a close game and some excellent work was done by the home boys.

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

------------A-wwwa------------ TUMBLING The Tumbling Team, consisting of Forrest Leedy, Leo Snyder and Ralph l-lundley, have made a splendid record for themselves by their unusually fine exhibitions of mat work and work on the parallel bars. The two funny men, Harry Shenk and Oliver Rauch, deserve much praise for their efforts also. The team first appeared this year at Lincoln gym when they gave an exhibition of mat work in the intermission of a basketball game. Their next appearance was at the Family theatre at the annual High School Frolic. At this time some splendid work was done and those attending were most en- thusiastic ovcr their work and that of the Pyramid Team, which gave an exhibition at the same time. The Hall of the Divine Child boys thoroughly enioyed an exhibition on one occasion, and the members of the Fellowcraft Club were entertained at the Masonic Temnle by the team shortly after that date. Then the bovs attended the state meet at Ypsilanti and made an ex- cellent showing. winning third place among' such compettors as Ann Arbor, Saginaw. Detroit Eastern. Ralph Hundley lost first place for individual work bv only one-half point. + M ------------ relM5wm --i- ------- ----
