Qver the Net, lQ32 Despite the anticipation of a busy season in volleyball, a small amount of action was seen by the squad. Difficulties were encountered by Manager Fred Martin when he endeavored to arrange contests. Indiana is, after all, basketball and not volley-ball. Few organizations sponsored volley-ball due to the disbanding of the local tournamentg in past years, at least two tournaments were conducted annually. Consequently, the opposition came mainly from three local sextets and out-of-town teams. Like the Scotchman at the party, the volley-ball season comes early and stays late. Hence, the schedule called for a game every now and then. Never- theless, all the men who composed the team thoroughly enjoyed each game, inas- much as Wonderful hospitality was extended them on the opponents' courts. Of nine matches played, Normal won six, and lost three. The teams opposed in- cluded the Indianapolis Athletic Club, Hoosier Athletic Club, Y. M. C. A., Eli Lilly Laboratories, Fort Wayne Turners, and Louisville Turners. The roster consised of Bill Klier, Rudy Schreiber, Whitey Scheitlin, Bill Schaefer, Bob Flanagan, Bill Kultzow, Charlie Hertler, Karl Fehrenbach, Casey Peckoff, Rudy jahn, and Bill Pump, the last four being additions from the Fresh- men class.

It wasn't a bad ball game, but the old weakness made its appearance once more. Bad fielding explains the loss. VVeiss and Gordo11 shouldered the duties at the moundg both turned in creditable performances. SIXTH GAME NGRMAL 13 MANCHESTER 7 The Normal ball players took the lield at Riverside Park with lire in their eyes, vengeance in their hearts, and dynamite in their bats. It was the last game of the season and they really played good baseball. The team played as a team for the first time, victory was not to be denied them that day. Timely hit- ting and smart lielding was the by-word, and, as a result, Manchester went down to its first defeat of the season. The victory was all the more remark- able in that Weiss and Morgan, tolling on the mound for N. A. G. U., allowed only three hits. A fitting climax to an otherwise disappointing season. .,,S,:.1..,.

Gymnasium Competition, IC932 Once again, Normal's Gym Team went thru a very successful year of com- petition and exhibitions. Although the program for the year was not very heavy, bearers of the Red and 'White swept all before them and implanted N. A. G. U. more firmly in the local gymnastic ranks. This year's squad embraced a number of talented performers, including both veterans of last year and new additions from the Freshmen ranks, Lynn, Klafs, Sturni, Flanagan, Bild, Kultzow, Yoke, Scheitlin, Lee and Hertler were the seasoned men, while the newcomers included O'Donnell, -Ianelunas, Goldberg, Grossman and Geisler. An invitation was extended the team to compete in the Ohio A. A. U. meet, and three of our men, Lynn, O'Donnell, and Flanagan, made the trip to Cin- cinnati. Out of nine possible awards, the boys brought back seven. The Fort Wayne Turners were defeated in a duel meet which saw some sensational performances and close scoring. The Indiana-Kentucky A. A. U. championship-meet again resulted in dominance by the Men of Normal. O'Don- nell, a twin performer, took down all-round honors by virtue of his consistency on all apparatus. Lynn gave a beautiful exhibition of tumbling in winning that event. Janelunas had the same success on the flying rings. Our gymnasts won the team title through superior performers, not numbers. Only three of the nine championships went to outsiders, while clean sweeps were made in Long Horse, Flying Rings and All-Round Events. . ..i . Page Fifty-.w-11z'n
