-Tl-lE BLUE JAY. A , -if H111 fw., fs BASKETBALL TEAM H 'Ui Metzger, Greene, Hatke, DeVilibiss, Mr. Bixby, Snyder. Strahm, Coach Forsberg, Lancaster, Masheter, Steele, Lichty Carpenter, Freeby, Davis, E. Diffenderfer, Scott, M, Dilfenderfer, Sperline, Fiddler Although Sabetha did not win the Big Seven Basketball Championship, they made a very creditable showing. About December. Coach Wally Forsberg began building the team around the live remain- ing letter men. Toward the end of the season Sabetha defeated some of the strongest schools in the Big Seven and surrounding conferences, Paul Scott. a fast deceptive player, won several games by fourth quarter goals. Ellis Davis, a Freshman forward, has great possibilities. Another Freshman forward, Loren Carpenter, was high point man for his team in the tournament and he should be a regular man next year. Meredith Sperline, center, is a boy with lots of fight. With added experience, Roy Hatlte should develop into a real center, Roy Strahm without any previous experience in basketball, has developed into a fast, progressive forward. The old fighting spirit of Homer Fiddler has made him a very valuable man on the squad. Another guard, Everett Freeby, is wearing S. H. S. colors for the last time. The Coach could depend upon him at all times. Captain Earl Diffenderfer, playing forward, is a good teatn leader with lots of determination. Merle Diffenderfer, playing guard, is a consistant shot and shows great ability in taking the ball oh' the back hoard. Other members of the squad who will be very valuable next year are: Harvey Sam Steele, Rex Snyder, Clyde Masheter. George Lancaster, Rueben Metzger, Roy Handley, and Wilbur De- Vilibiss.
