“The €CHO BASEBALL A baseball forecast, like a weather . forecast, is a difficult thing to make. Judging from the strength of the team in pre-season games the season should be a most successful one. If a little weak in hitting, the team makes up for it in its defensive play. On the mound there is power as is indicated by a 6-0 win over Broadway, and a 7-2 victory over Bremerton. Veterans on the team are: Captain Tommy O’Connor who nabs everything that comes third base way; Bo” Gallagher, the best high school outfielder in the city; Basel, last year’s short stop who is now doing duty in right field; Ted McCaffray who alternates between the field and catching and does a good job in either place; Frank Taylor, a steady and capable receiver. These, with the pitchers Wittman, Ouellette, Brotherton, form the nucleus of the team. The others, Mr. Logan, S.J., their coach, is fast rounding into shape. BASKETBALL This year saw one of the best basketball teams that S.C.H.S. has had in many seasons. Coach Walterskirchen fitted together a smooth-running five that ranked among the best of the city high school teams. Captain George Morry at guard proved that what one has not in size can be made up for in aggressiveness. All year his play was a marvel to watch. So too, was that of Frank Tang” Taylor, the fastest man on the floor. Bob Tobin at center was high point man and getting better every game. Ed Logan at guard was the most improved player on the team. Developing from a mediocre player he now can be rated as an all-city guard. These are a few of the reasons why the Panthers had a good season. TENNIS This spring saw the revival of tennis as a minor sport at S.C.H.S. As we go to press the group who compose the squad have been successful in their invasion of the St. Martin’s lair and have other matches scheduled. SWIMMING Under the tutelage of Coach Francis Walterskirchen a swimming team was entered in the prep school relays at the Crystal Pool late in April. A class in the fundamentals of swimming and diving was also formed. • Jmmor Athletics FOOTBALL THE PANTHER CUBS had a successful season, winning three, losing three and tying two. Cubs now, but watch them grow! Next year will see some of them sturdy defenders of the Blue and White. The squad was: Andrews, R. Kelly, Wilson, Lyons, Foley, Nestor, McNamara. Finn, Goerig, Scarpello, Mullally, Roberts, J. Carmody, R. DeDonato, Ochesli, Doyle, Harrington, Naughton, Kane, Brandmier, Magnano, and J. Tobin, their manager. BASEBALL Seven wins out of nine starts and still looking for other home plates to sink their cleats in, the Juniors play on. The sweetest and most exciting victory of all was the one 8-7 over the O’Dca Frosh. The squad is Naughton, Scarpello, Neilsen, Rebhahn, Bennett, Emerson, P. Cullinane, D. Cullinane, Mullally, Potts, McGuire, Green, Doyle, McChesney, Wilson, J. Carmody. BASKETBALL After getting off to a slow start, the Juniors wound up their scaso’n in a blaze of glory, winning seven of their last eight games and finishing with eight wins and five losses. Prospective varsity stars on the squad were Pat and Jay Gallagher, the O’Donnell brothers, Goerig, Nitsche, Rebhahn, McNamara, McCullough, Seaver, and Dibb. Page 21

White, Morry, Taylor The Lsttermen's Club THE Seattle College High School Lettermen’s Club is an organization made up entirely of the athletes who have received the varsity S.C.H.S. award by active competition on a team of the three major sports, football, basketball, and baseball. The main purpose of the club is to instill good feeling and spirit among the athletes. It endeavors by its activities to make the big S.C.H.S.” monogram honored and respected. Though the Club had been inactive for the past two years, the lettermen early last fall joined together and brought the organization back to its former high standard. The group has been a main factor in putting on all school activities. The officers of the Lettermen’s Club for 1933 are Ted McCaffray, ’33, president; Bill Roberts, ’33, vice-president; Frank Taylor, ’33, secretary; R. Hutchins, ’33, treasurer; and Tom O’Connor, '33, sergeant-at-arms. Fr. McNamara, S.J., acted as Faculty Director. «► In the Field of Sports FOOTBALL UNDER the coaching of Mr. Francis Walterskirchen the S. C. H. S. has a strong football team, stronger than the season scores indicate. Out of seven games played the Panthers won three, lost three and tied one. Only once, and that was when they were playing against Enumclaw, did they feel that they were outclassed and playing a better team. Auburn beat them in the first game of the season 6-0 when in the closing moments of play a touchdown was scored on a reverse pass. Bremerton beat them 6-2 when they should not have, for the Panthers made much more yardage that day. Going into the game against O’Dea as favorites the Panthers took things so easily that soon they were pressed hard and had their backs against the wall. And then did they fight! Never, all season, was there seen a scrappier, a more ferocious, a more stubborn pack. Those Panthers stood up on their hind legs and pawed and clawed the Irish for no gain, stopping them within the five yard line. Had their offense worked as their defense did the game would not have ended in a 0-0 tie. The victories enjoyed under the arc lights of the Civic Stadium were over Bainbridgc 12-0; St. Martin’s High School 25-0; and over Bellarmine 19-2. Much credit goes to Coach Walt” and the team.
