26 The Pilgrim, tbl 'I i PLYMOUTTH-ROCHESTER TRACK MEET The Plymouth-Rochester track meet added another banner to our collection when Plymouth ran up a total of 72 points to Rochester's 4l . As the score indicates the meet was a walkaway for the local athletes. Plymouth took points in every event and captured most of the first places. The chief point winners were Capt. Haag of Plymouth, with l8g Miller of Rochester, I4. Cramer of Plymouth, I2, and Hawkins of Plymouth, IO. THE MARSHALL COUNTY TRACK AND FIELD MEET The Marshall County Track and Field Meet, held May 8, was a very successful affair, from a Plymouth standpoint, at least. The day was not very favorable for track work, but the Plymouth athletes went right ahead and took most of the trophies worth men- tioning. Plymouth had the best balanced team and took nearly as many points as the rest of the schools together. Argos had the individual star of the meet, but the second and third individual honors went to Plymouth boys. Beigh, of Argos, was the star of the meet, with 20 points to his credit, and received the gold medal. Beigh performed the same feat last year and certainly a great deal of credit is due him. Erwin Haag and Ben Cramer, both of Plymouth, were tied for second honors, with I I points each. Haag, captain of the home team, received a silver medal and Cramer was given a bronze. The schools winning points were: Plymouth 52, Argos 26, Culver I3, Bremen IO, Bourbon 7. Other Plymouth boys, besides Haag and Cramer, who won points were: Hawkins 8, Baker 6, Jacox 5, Raymond Cook 5, Ness 3, Buck I, Cummins I, Ritchey I. Part of the credit for Plymouth's victory must be given to the coaches, Mr. Dutter, Howard Duncan, Everett Shirar, and Earl Shroeder, who expended time and effort to produce a winning team. To Donald Stephenson the thanks of the High School is due for the attractive banner which he presented for our victory in the relay race. Donald is one of our most enthusiastic rooters and the High School appreciates the interest he has shown. Plymouth will send a team to both the State and Northern Indiana meets to be held soon. We feel that we have some athletes who will be able to take points in these meets and the team is expected to win a high standing in these two meets. l9l 5 BASKETBALL SEASON The I9I5 basketball was a fairly successful one, although the team got away to a bad start. The schedule was heavy and included some of the best teams in this section of the state. The season ended with fifteen games won and ten lost. The boys who played on the team tried hard and the results of the season are a credit both to them, to the school, and to their coach, Mr. Dutter.
