Although continuously striking against oporesslve odds and constant threats, the team displayed its ability to emerge as the victor In a majority of the games. Especially In the first game against Wllmerdlng did this characteristic of determination of the players become quite dominant. Throughout the season, a series of thrilling Innings entertained the spectators. The line-up was as follows: Tom Sandrlck—catcher, a graduate of last year who earned credit as a hard olayer. Russell Ickes—pitcher, a south paw and star pitcher who is now serving In the Navy. Joe Orris—first base, a husky graduate of this year with a high batting average. George Padgen—second base, our clean-up man who always aopeared when needed. John Supanclk—short stop, smallest man on the team, but not the slowest. John Onder—third base, a sophomore who has one of the best arms In the Infield. Charles Baloh—left field, a very promising sophomore ©layer who has left school. Mike Mazock—center field, graduate of last year. Comedian and outstanding fielder. Fred Martini—batter, the freshman slugger who will probably make a career In baseball. Bud Barton, Bill Higgs, Pete Zatezalo, and John Gregurlc were the substitutes. John Supanclk, Joe Orris, and John Onder obtained the highest batting averages. Jackets were awarded to three alumni of last year, namely, George Padgen, Alonza Barton, and Mike MazoeV. 19 2 BASEBALL SCHEDULE April 3 Penn Twp. 7 Pitcairn 1 April 27 Penn Twp. 1 Wllmerdlng 0 April 3p Penn Twp. 3 Hurst 3 May 4 Penn Twp.

FOOTBALL Row 3: Allwine, Kozaln, Rager, Zimmerman, Molt, Divens, Campbell, Bickerstaff, Moser, Eaton Row 2: Martini, White, Garrick, Supanclk, Onder, McClain, Welghtman, Bevan Row 1: Schwartz, Cuaworth, Malnea, George, Matthews, McClain, Shirley, Maine The Penn Township Indians were rather unfortunate in their record this year because of the lack of athletes. Only five lettermen remained from last year's squad. Under the handicap, Coach Grndisek had to build a line around Joe Orris, tackle; and guards, Kenny Mains and Harry Garrick. He proceeded to shape the backfleld around veteran quarter back, John Supanclk; and half back, Richard Eaton. Further trouble arose, especially for the Jeannette game, when two on the first string were out with injuries. Orris was disabled during East Deer game; Supanclk, at practice. Although the Indians had a comparatively light squad, they tackled the opponents with the utmost enthusiasm. Fighting until the last minute of the game, the robust sportsmen in Blue and White showed that they were not easily beaten. The lettermen who will probably form the backbone of next year's team are William Roscosky, Howard Bickerstaff, Jack Zimmerman, Robert Campbell, John Onder, Charles Moser, and John McClain. John Molt, Arthur Divens, Richard Eaton, and Harry Garrick are lettermen who have withdrawn from their classes. Dan Bigler received a letter for being a manager. John Supanclk and Kenny Mains gained additional recognition by being placed on the All-Star County Football Team. Harry Garrick earned a place on the second team, and Joe Orris rated honorable mention. Jackets were given to Paul Welghtman, Kenneth Mains, Joe Orris, John Supanclk, and Robert Bevan. The last two are already in the Armed Forces. LINE-UP L.E. Zimmerman R.T. Roscosky L.T. Moser R.E. Bickerstaff L.Q. Mains Q Supanclk C Campbell L.H. Onder R. G. Garrick R.H. Eaton F.
