132 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 This year again, the Freshmen didn’t shine in basketball. But they didn’t take any bad beatings and even won one game. Tech won over Hope 15-13, but lost to Classical 10-17, and Commercial 12-22. Ruth Sutton, star forward, was captain. VOLLEY BALL The volley ball team didn’t live up to expectations this year. Tech lost two en- counters—to Commercial and Hope. Both games were well played, but the other teams were stronger and in each case the score was 2-0. In the Classical game, the Tech team woke up and beat the Pur- ple 2-0. Linda Anderson and Betty Bradshaw starred in the forward line, which Flora Smith did the best volleying from the rear. The following were on the squad: Elna Blomquist, Captain; Linda Anderson, Irma Russin, Hope Brown, Eva Wade, Flora Smith, Betty Bradshaw, Charlotte Johnson, Ruth Thornton, Mary Marcello, Virginia Vaughn, Lillian Wagner, Bea- trice Berkander. BASEBALL A good baseball team is in view this year. All the squad needs is a lot of prac- tice, and it’s apt to get it, as the games will probably not be played until the lat- ter part of the term. Flora Smith will likely do the pitching, with Linda Ander- son at first base. FIELD HOCKEY The hockey team made fair success this season. Tech tied two games with Com- mercial, the city champs, 1-1; and Classi- cal 1-1, but Hope defeated us 2-1, after the hardest fought battle of the season. A much better team is looked forward to next year, if as many girls come out as did last year. Dot Swift, our center forward, will be lost through graduation, but otherwise, the team will probably be made up of veteran players. ---o---- SWIMMING The Girls’ City High School Cham- pionship meet was held at the Braman Pool, May 17, 1928. The contest was close, with Hope barely nosing out Tech by 2] 2 points. Hope took 23 J4 points, Tech 21, Commercial 3, and Classical 2] 2. Tech captured three first and two sec- ond places. Mildred French won the 40 yd. free style by nearly a half length, Elna Blomquist took the 20 yd. free style, and Louise Aborn, Leota Harris, Elna Blomquist, and Mildred French won the relay. Lizetta Carpenter, Clara Judge, Mil- dred Peirce and Katherine Crandall also swam for Tech, but failed to place. The summary: 40 yd. free style—Won by M. French, Tech; L. Harris, Tech, second; E. Paul, Olassical, third. 20 yd. side stroke—Won by E. Schwartz, Hope; J. Bauer, Hope, sec- ond ; C. Troy, Hope, third. 20 yd. breaststroke (for style only)— Won by L. Tucker, Hope; J. H. Mitchell, Commercial, second; H. O’Neil, Classical, third. 20 yd. free style—Won by E. Blom- quist, Tech; M. Van Benschotan, Hope, second; R. Whitaker, Classical and A. Richardson, Hope, tied for third. Diving—Won by C. Ely, Hope; M. French, Tech, second; L. Tucker, Hope, third. Relay—Won by Tech. (Aborn, Harris, French, Blomquist.)

134 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 Baseball News Starting the season with but four vet- erans. the Technical High School base- ball team has not l een defeated to this date and has a record of seven consecu- tive victories. Under the leadership of Captain Mario De Pippo. our veteran shortstop, the Crimson and Gray warriors are having one of the l est seasons in the history of Tech. Supporting Capt. lie Pippo on our im- pregnable inner defence are, Frank Ap- plin, a new but promising first baseman, Harry Greaves a horn second baseman, and Joe Dobosynski a real hot corner guardian. Our three hall hawks of the outer garden. Gorman at right, Janis at center, and Platt at left field arc the envy of the opposing school teams of the state. Ranking among the best pitchers of the state is Quinton, our stellar slab artist. He must be given much credit for the success of our 1928 club. Speed and control arc his means of success. We wish him the best of luck in his later baseball years. The brilliant performance of Dixie Matthews behind the plate has been one of the chief elements of the team’s success. He has served as Quin- ton’s most reliable target for th last two seasons. Kirkland and Halloway served as most worthy substitute battery and they de- serve no little credit. Morse, Lutz, and Murphy composed an able extra set of outfielders and Taylor served as a re- liable assistant in the infield. We appreciate the work of Coach Schuster in transforming a rather medi- ocre nine into a team of championship standing. His uncomplaining patience and clever baseball tactics have made possible Tech’s success in the baseball world.
