Several outstanding performers were lost to the war effort. In the opening meet with Jeff of Lafayette and Crawfordsville, the Blue Devils finished second. Shortridge eked a one point margin over Washington in a dual meet, and captured sixth in the Southport Relays. The relay combinations spelled victory for the Satans in the next meet at Howe. After annexing fifth in the city meet at Tech, the Blues bowed to Manual. Coach Don R. Knight's squad was exceptionally strong in the hurdles with George Lewis invariably winning the high and low stick events, followed by Larry Stuart and Tom King. Dan Pratt captured several blue ribbons in the 440-yard dash. The half-mile relay team, Ray Stone. Bruce Christie, Kenny Brown, and George Lewis, threatened city competition and the mile quartet, Ben Boleman, Jack Perrine, Larry Stuart, and Dan Pratt, won consistently. Cecil Freihofer and Bruce Hilkene shared honors in the shot put. George Lewis won the low barriers in the Sectionals and Cecil Freihofer garnered seconds in the shot put and pole vault to qualify for the State meet. Lewis was elected honorary captain. Coach Roy Aberson's freshman thinlies won over Washington, Manual, and Howe. They were runners-up in the City meet, though they lost to Tech.

FINK ALLERDICE fans that they were not to be underestimated in city competition. In a substitute game for the city tourney, Shortridge lost a heart- breaker to Manual as one lone Redskin stood back and potted longs constantly in his only showing of the season. B1'oad Ripple was fresh from upsetting powerful Tech, when the Satans put them back in their place with a well-deserved victory. Howe, Craw- fordsville, and Jeff of Lafayette pounded the Blue Devils consecu- tively before they steamed up for a stretch drive. Going into the home stretch, Shortridge took revenge on Manual in the regularly scheduled contest and it marked the great awakening of the Northside hardwooders. A powerful Mar- tinsville squad bowed to Shortridge and a fast moving Lebanon outnt fell before the Blue Devils as they appeared to be rocketing into the Sectional Tourney with a blazing finish to their regular season. The Blue offense did not cool off until the second half of the final game with Anderson. After holding a seven-point lead at the intermission, Shortridge was held to only four points in the second half as they dropped the last game of the schedule.

THE BATTLING BLUE DEVILS tContinued from second preceding pagej In the sectional tournament, Shortridge gained the right to meet Lawrence Central in the semi-finals by thumping Crispus Attucks and Beech Grove. The Bears seemed to be Hon that afternoon as they managed to stay in front almost all the way. The courageous Satans fought their hearts out all the way and succeeded in knotting the count in the waning seconds of the final period. A Central field goal in this crucial moment ended the career of the Shortridge bucket tossers and Lawrence went on to annex the Sectional crown. Climaxing his thirteenth year as coach of Shortridge basket- ball teams, Coach Kenneth Peterman led his iighting Blue Devils to a record of twelve victories in twenty-one games. The entire school owes much to Mr. Peterman because of his untiring patience in working with and developing each individual perform- er to bring out the best possible basketball material for the student body. The superb backboard and rebound ability of Bruce Hilkene, Leroy Casselman, forwards, and Donald Rogers. center, was equaled by few quintets in the state, because of their superior height and prowess under the basket. The aggressive defensive play of Cecil Freihofer and Jack Smith, along with their accurate shooting, made these two Blue Devils outstanding in practically every game. Lee Hummel and Bruce Christie were constant starters also, who were equally capable as steady ball handlers. Bob Fink, Jim Allerdice, Dick Light, Ralph Carter, and Alan Levinson completed the varsity roster. Bruce Hilkene received the Dr. George V. Underwood trophy, having been named the most valuable varsity player by Coach Peterman. Alan Levinson copped the Underwood most valuable reserve player award. Donald Rogers, senior center, was elected honorary captain of the '42-'43 squad by his team-mates at the end of the season. Monogrammed sweaters were presented to Hilkene, Rogers. Smith, Christie, Hummel, and Fink, seniors, Casselman, Freihofer. and Allerdice, juniors. f X f f x x X JL JL JL if it at if Shortridge has always been noted for fine golf teams and this year was no exception.
