T T ▼ Boys’ Intramurals Under the capable direction of Coach Hirshey, the intramural sports progressed rapidly this year. These sports are divided off by three seasons, fall, winter and spring. The teams were chosen from the boys attending physical education classes; all games were played off during the noon period, with the student body as spectators. In the limelight during the fall months was sottball. The victor team, the one winning the greatest number of their scheduled games, was the Senior team, comprised of Louis Palagyi, Hugh Dixon, Henry Brooks, Harry Kirkwood, George Rector, Fred Ollila, Martin Ojajarvi, Leonard Christopher, Donald Cline, Oiva Kan-gas, and Melvin Barker. In the winter months basketball was the outstanding intramural activity. The teams are made up of boys not on the varsity team. Each team played ten games. Harry Kirkwood’s team composed of Jack Maki, Reino hill, Roy Frank and Tom Schlaich, were winners of the tourney and defeated Henry Brook’s team in the finals. Ping pong was also of great interest, open to any boy interested. As soon as he lost he was out of the tourney. In the finals Robert Childs defeated Robert Glenn, to win the title of the tourney. Baseball Coach Hirshey was forced to build a practically brand new baseball team this year, with a single letter man returning for practice from last season. In spite of this, the team carried off more than half of the games played, a record worthy of praise. After a poor start at Kingsville, the boys blazed to glory on their second attempt, defeating North Kingsville, and they kept up their struggle well in the following contests. They defeated all the teams they contended with at least once, but missed the championship. There remains a fine string of players for the coming year, however, with Louis Palagyi and Hugh Dixon the only lettermen graduating. Palagyi carried off the batting crown with the excellent average of .455. Otis Osborne was his nearest rival with .333. The letter men for the 1939 season were Hugh Dixon, Vaughn Herbel, Fred Hir-simaki, Robert Holdson, Adolph Kultti, Otis Osborne, Louis Palagyi, Charles Riley. Duane Wheeler, James Wheeler, and Harold Wiley.
