w March of the Spartans Page Twenty v2.1 m IT was with only four regulars left from the championship team of the previous season that Coach Morrlssey began assembling the parts of his 1933 football machine. However, the Spartan mentor went to work With a will, and, with the able assistance of Mr. Edward Burns, he soon had a winning combination whipped into shape. And what a combination that was! With Captain ttDutch Welling leading the attack, those Spartans went through their seasonts schedule worse than a whirlwind goes through Kansas. In three sweeping victories over Xavier, Elder, and Purcell they won for the second consecutive season the Greater Cincinnati High School League championship and a beautiful silver trophy presented by Mr. Adam F. Meyer. Besides this they took three one-sided tilts from Portsmouth Central Catholic High, Springneld Central Catholic High, and Hamilton Catholic High. Their only two set-backs were suffered at the hands of Middletown Public High and Toledo Waite, the national high school football champs. Even in defeat the Spartans looked great, displaying that same old nnever say die,, spirit that has well earned for them the title of ttThe Fighting Dutch? Six Victories against two defeats! One hundred and thirty-six 'points to their opponents, seventy! That is their seasonts record, and to top it all off, the Spartan reserve team won the Greater Cincinnati High School Reserve League championship together With a handsome trophy. Congratulations, you Spartan gridders 0f ,32! Onward! mi THE Roger Bacon hoopsters of ,32333 werentt as fortunate as their fellow gridders. Handicapped with having only one player of experience to lay the foundation for his team, Coach Burns faced a sad-looking future. However, he managed to scrape a quintet together, and what they lacked in playing ability and ex- perlence, they certainly made up atplenty in aggressiveness and good old fashioned spunk. In Greater Cincinnati High School League competition Captain Eddie Reicliman and his mates won two walk-aways over Xavier, and a one-31ded'tussle from Elder. Although they failed to lift the Greater Cmcmnati High School League crown from Purcell. they eertalnly made the Cavaliers sweat t0 eke out their two close Victorles. In pne of their pit nights they dropped a tight contest to Elder fer a blg upset. VVlth three victories and three losses, they stood tied for second place in the nnal league standing. L -In other games the brown and white color bearers turned in wms'over Wilmington, Eaton, Ohio Mechanics Institute, Otterbein, Hamilton Catholic, and were beaten by Woodward, the Alumni, Hamilton Puhhc and Stivers, while in the tournament they dropped a hotly contested fray to their old jinx Purcell. Looking over the results .we find that they scored four hundred and thirty-fiye p01nts to their opponentsi three hundred and sixty- 51x, t0 wm eight and lose eight games. i . The. Spartan reserve basketeers compiled a better record, win- ning elght and lesxng four. Moreover. they tied Purcell for the Greater Cincmnatl High School Reserve League championship. -G. S., 33.
