19 THEg PIO gNONI'1'E 25 THE MIDGET TEAM. Our last year-'s midget team impressed us so favorably that it was decided to con- tinue the good work begun by our little fellows. These dwarfs. while in action, dis- played such life and vigor that even the tirst team might have been able to obtain some valuable assistance if it was needed. We must admit that their floor work and passing ability were far superior to that of any other team in the league. VVith a little more experience, we may bc able to rely upon the.n to hll the shoes of the past basketball stars.

This league met with so much enthusiasm that eighty fellows went out for the ditferent teams. The number being so great it was necessary to have two leagues. The Senior league consisted of members of third and fourth year, while the Junior league was made up of the first and second vear. These games be- tween the students turnished entertainment for the students at large during the long winter months. As a reward, the champions of the respective leagues were given an em- blem for their good work. THE STANDINGS OI' TEAMS.

19 THE PIO NONITE 25 Victor Seitz, .................................................. . ........ Guard. Vic, a new man entering upon l1is basket-ball career surprised us all by coming through the fog and raising himself to the dignity of a good player. NVhenever a regular was either taken out or absent on account of illness, we could' rest assured that Vic would step into his place and do his part in aiding the team on to victory. At intervals he substituted for any of the forwards, and in this position his height was of great service to him. Colne on, Vic , we are relying on you for tl1e '25 and '26 triumphs. Harold Newcomb, ....................................................... Guard. Mike, another one of our many strong and husky Irishmen, was not satisfied in playing a tackle position on the football team, but endeavored to show his 'tstutfn as a basketball player. As a sub he frequently was given a chance to get into the fray, all spectators could honestly say that 'Miken was 110 slacker when it came to perform the many duties of a guard. As a lighter, he had no equal, and pity the man that dared to out-maneuver him. Here 's hoping that Mike will return to show the public at large what he is capable of doing. .The Second Team.. ' The second team of '24-'25 did not have an opportunity to show what they were capable of doing, as they were only scheduled to play six games. Although having lost their first two encounters, which made a rather poor start, they finished the remainder of the schedule with victories. As a whole, the team was composed of green material, which in a short time developed into good representatives of Pio Nono on the basket- ball court. XVith the majority of these men, the '25-'26 team ought to have plenty.of volunteers to exhibit their skill in the new gymnasium. Line-Up. De Lany, Harold tCapt.J ..... . . .

The game was postponed on account of unfavorable weather and a badly soaked field. Q21 On Saturday, April 25, representatives of Oconomowoc High School fur- nished our first opposition on the diamond. The first two innings netted six tallies for our boys, while the other team was overco me by our attack. As the game progressed our hopes of victory were seemingly shattered for our opponents surprised us by staging a rally which gave them a margin of two rn ns. Our fighting spirit being aroused by this sudden impetus, the boys first of all made the contest a little more interesting by encircling the bases for two more runs, therebv tying the score. Not being satisfied with this, our faithful captain, the bambino of thc team, resurrected our hopes of triumph by hitting the horse-hide for a three base hit and bringing in three men on the long drive. WVe continued this pace of slugging, making the game n real victory, emerging from the contest with the final score being 14 to 8. 36
