IEIXSQMK iffgffiii ' ' 27 A BILLY BTILLER, Captain Basket L. L. WARRIQN, Conch During the five years of our Northeast junior High School's life, the basketball teams have made a most excellent record. This year's team, perhaps, has been even faster and better than their worthy pre- decessors. Undefeated in league competition, our boys lost but one game this season, and that, by one point to Trenton Junior High at Trenton, Mo. From the very first game, Coach Warren called for and demanded a fast pace, team play, and the everlasting invincible'Northeast spirit: and records show that the boys responded nobly. WVith the exception of Billy Miller who was with us only one-half year, all 111011 were new at the game-green material. But day after day of hard drill worked WVOI1- ders on the boys, and when the league season opened, we were more than ready. Fast offensive work and rapid accurate passing, coupled with an almost air-tight de- fense Cas our opponents' average score of lil points per game indicatesj made North- east Junior unconquerable. Leavenworth Junior High, hitherto an undefeated team, challenged our boys and were beaten badly twice, once at Northeast and again at Leavenworth, Kansas.

Too much cannot be said of the fine sportsmanship and team play of our boys. The fighting spirit of Capt. Miller, Tillery, Jones, Stephens, Kubiak, Fields, Springer, Hummon, Maddux, and Jacobs will long be remembered. Our substitutes, too, certainly are deserving of praise because they are the back- bone of the team. Farlow, Allen, Harmon, K. Davis, D. Davis, Rogers, were very instrumental in our success. gf -- g4.,.....:- T, - H ---ll--I --Fr ,. , ,'j ,.v-4-I Ba-ck Row: Harmon. BAsK'f1'Bm,L SQUAD Fourth Row: D. Davis, Allen-, K. Darfis, 1Vapfmzc.

if Xi El1f - - - wyafll Indoor Track Srrzrfrrens, Cafwiain L. L. XVARREN, Coach Indoor Track championships are getting to be a common thing at Northeast junior, and our speed merchants this year very capably upheld the precedent. As the Indoor Track season comes during basketball season and many of the boys are basket- ball men, systematic training is greatly handicapped. Nevertheless. our boys took all honors indoors, and came very near the relay record set by Northeast Junior in 1925. Etna Stephens, this year's track captain, tied the city junior high record in the 50 yard dash, in 5.8 seconds. Etna won the dash in both indoor meets, showing his heels to a fast field. Kubiak, Steve's running mate in the 50, pushed him hard to win. Our indoor relay team was pretty to watch. DeShaffon, our lead-off man, never failed to turn over a lead to Indian Jacobs, who would then proceed to double the distance between himself and his competitors. Then came Stan Kubiak, Coaclfs war-horse, whose six-foot stride enabled him to turn such a lead over to Steve, that Uncle Steve soon was becoming fat and lazy because he wasn't pushed hard enough in the relay. The Indoor 50 yard dash record of 5.8 sec. of the Kansas City Junior schools is held jointly by Rubenstein-Northeast ...,................,.............................,......... 1925 Dorsctt-Northeast ........ ....... 1 925 Daleo-Manual ......,,,..................,.......,..,......,...........,.,,...,......... 1925 Stephens-Northeast ,,.,..................... .................,.....,.........,... 1 927 The Relay record is held by Northeast Junior in the fast time of 126.2 seconds.
