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.
