Although the record of three wins and five losses was none too impressive, it doesn't show the actual record of Mt. Morris spirit. The all-round driving play of the backfield, composed of seniors, was outstanding, while the line play was noticeable for the aggressive play of Darrel Strite and Earl Rosenbalm, One redeeming feature of the season was the hard-fought triumph over Polo, Mt. Morris' arch-rival. A victory over Polo makes the season a successful one. Wayne Ballard, triple-threat backfield star, was elected Honorary Captain by his teammates at the close of the season and also was given honorable mention on the All- State football team. Major letter winners for the 1941 season were Wayne Ballard, Robert Avey, Davis, Raymond Doyle, Richard Frey, Walter Kehm, Robert Stouffer, Earl Rosenbalm, Lamar Smith, Warren Shoemaker, Darrel Strite, Donald Wynne, Frank Aufderbeck, Ralph Hudson, Harold Palmer, and Christy Krug. Managers' letters were awarded to Carl Personette and Bill Coffman. twi

BASKETBALL After a sixteen game schedule, the basketball season was found to have a .500 per cent average, winning eight games and losing eight. Although the Mound basketball season turned out to be a fifty-fifty affair, the team played clean, hard ball and provided many exciting games, among which was the close game between Rochelle and the Mounders, held at Oregan during the Regional Tournament. In the Regional Tournament the Mounders defeated the Byron district winner, which was Byron, only to lose their second game by one basket in a thrill-packed game, to the strong Rochelle team. The Mounders made a good showing in the Regional and lost to the best team as Rochelle went on to defeat Oregon, thus winning the tourna- ment. The team will be weakened next year due to the graduation of Senior letter win- ners, Ballard, Shoemaker, Hyland, Personette, Wyfnne, and Avey. Coach Schrader hopes to build next year's team around returning lettermen, Coffman and Hudson, with sev- eral promising prospects in the junior and Sophomore classes. The student body showed exceptionally fine school spirit during the pep meetings and through yells and cheers at various games. l122Ql
