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 John Molt, Arthur Divens, Richard Eaton, and Harry Garrick are lettermen who have withdrawn from their classes.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.

BH5EBRLL Row 3: Kashurba, Roscosky, Gregurlc, Kelley, Mr. Gradlsek Row 2: Baloh, Martini, Padgen, Orris, Higgs, Barton Row 1: Sandrlck, Ickes, Mazock, Supanclk, Onder, Zatezalo Through their unyielding efforts, splendid sportsmanship, and fine coooeratlon, the Indians have left a commendable account of themselves for the season Their record shows five victories, one game tied, and only two defeats. 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.

BASKET BRLL Row Kashurba, Rudick, Mr. Rosenzwelg, G. McClain Row 3: Mains, J. McClain, Bigler Row 2s Zimmerman, Onder Row Is Blckerstaff Because of the shortage of players, the season was Important for Its experience more than for 1t8 victories. Of the sixteen games played, the quintet was victorious in seven. The team this year was built around Dan Bigler, forward; and Lee Goodman, center. The team consisted mostly of Juniors, there being only two Seniors on the team. The Indians also relinquished two of their first string members to the Armed Forces of the U.S.------Goodman to the Navy and Supanclk to the Marines. The Indian line-up, as coached by Emil Rosenzwelg, was as follows: Jack Zimmerman---Guard, always on the alert. Luckily for him he could take the hard knocks. John Supanclk----Forward, has taken part In many never-to-be-forgotten games during his four years of hard playing with the Indians. Lee Goodman---Center, our sailor who came from Penn Junior High, has done a marvelous job of caging the ball. John Onder----Guard, a Sophomore who does some tricky ball claying. Dan Bigler----Forward, the Indian go-getter. Always on too with scores this year, and we hooe to see him there next basket ball season. Kenneth Mains----Forward, our all-around Senior. Being small of stature Is no handlcaD for him when It comes to this soort. Howard Blckerstaff----Center, Is one of the best one-handed olvot shot marksmen on the team. Fred Martini------Forward, a SoDhomore who aDpears to be very oromlslng for the Indian Varsity. John McClain-------Forward, known as Quacky The only left-hander on the team, but he can cer- tainly use that left hand to advantage. George McClain---Forward, proved to be an asset to the team.
