fufwleenjnffiquzv Sports Qcont.l Herb fSilverl Bowman--Center--Junior. As centers go, this boy is small, but his ability ranks with the best. His ability to shoot with either hand makes him a very dangerous man. He recently developed an accurate one handed long shot. H- e's got another year R. H. S. and he's a very valuable asset to the team. Harold QShortyj Nipple--Forward--junior. With the speed and elusiveness of a rabbit, he causes the opponents a great deal of agony. His ability to make alm- ost impossible shots comes in very handy to the team. He's the ball-handler Wham the team sets up plays. Charles fChuckJ Thomas--junior--is the best utility man any club ever had.H- e was handicapped by a broken leg suffered during the softball season. He has an accurate long shot and can drop it in under the bucket with either hand. Carl fSpicQ Douglass--Sophomore--is developing into a promising player.This is his first year in basketball and his lefthanded shot baffles the opposing players. A fighting spirit adds to his brilliancy. Laurel QSpanJ Douglass--Sophomore--is the other half of the Douglass twins.. This is also his first year in basketball and like his brother he is developing fast Due to the fact that he is right handed he is slightly different from Carl. Gerald fHannyJ Hanawalt--junior--another of the promising, up-and-coming players. He has a deadly long shot. He also has a will to fight to the very last. joe fS1uggerj Seele--Freshrnan--Oh! what a spirit is in this kid! If fight was all a player needed, Joe would be a second Geo. Mikan. He's just a freshrnan and has a long time to improve. Bill QRabbit-Ears, Kuszmaul--Freslunan. He has a big name to live up to,and with a little help and time, he'll be okay. He's got three more years to go. With some added weight and height he'1l make brother Fred look like a piker. To Fred Kuszmaul, who assisted Mr. Benson with the coaching of our team, we tip our hats. Volunteering of his own free will, he helped Mr. Benson guide is thro' a very successful season. The boys enjoyed playing for Freddy, because he is really a grand guy. They played their hearts out, and some people were heard to say that it was believed the basketball gang would commit murder for him.Yes if anybody ever deserved a lot of credit, that guy is Fred Kuszmaul.

Sports fcont.l At approximately 8:00 A M. Thursday, February 21, Rockfield ended it's 1945-46 basket ball season. For the third time this season, the Camden Red De - vils whipped the Indians. This time the score was 35 to 29. The Indians and the Red Devils initiated the Sectioi. elhtourney with about the best played game of the whole tourney. Yes, Rockfield was the first to fall by the wayside, but not the on- ly one. Camden proceeded to advance to the finals, and they themselves admit th- a1: the toughest game in the tourney was the one against the Indians of R. H. S. In the game following, Flora's smoothly working Badgers defeated the Deer Creek Crickets 57 to 15 in a lop-sided affair. Friday night in the first game Carrollton beat Burlington in a closely contest- ed affair 33 to 28. Then, Delphi's Oracles defeated the Adams Township netters, 48 to 19. Closely following this game, Camden who had previously nicked the ln- dians defeated Cutlers' rough Wildcats 41 to 35. Saturday afternoon Flora thumped Carrollton 53 to 22. Then Camden thumped Delphi 30 to 21. Therefore, Flora and Camden advanced to the Championship ga- me. Saturday Night, Flora's Badgers spirited by their earlier victories, defeated Camden's tall Red Devils in a closely contested affair 36-29. Therefore, Flora was crowned the Sectional chanfips. Softball Our softball band didn't fare so well. They won 2 and lost 3. The battling ba- nd of future big leaguers bumped off the Adarns team twice, but the humiliation of defeat was handed out to them twice by Camden and once by Delphi. In the game with Delphi, Charles Thomas broke his leg. His absence was felt greatly, by the team during the rest of the softball season. The line-up consisted of the followirg: Herbert Bowman - 1B Laurel Douglass - LF William Galbreth - 2B john Guinn - LF Vance Fincher - SS LeRoy Powell - C Charles Thomas - 3B Harold Nipple - P William Kuszmaul - RF Carl Douglass - RS A lot of the boys on the team clouted some long, hard smashes, but most of them were right at some opposing player or on the wrong side of the white Chalk line. After the final figures had been amassed, they showed that Herbert Bowman had blasted two homers, and that Vance Fincher had pounded one far enough to en- able him to make the circuit of the bases.
