Fred Christopherson Sibley - - O Stillwater - - 3 In the spring of 1953, Sibley's Glenn Smith Sibley - - O White Bear first senior high baseball team was Don Zimmerman Sibley - - 6 Anoka - - organized. Although the boys lost Joe Herzog Sibley - - 3 So. St. Paul - all five games, they played good Bill Radmer Sibley - 4 Hastings - ball. The team was hampered by the fact that they only had two pitchers ready and sometimes they had to call Joe Herzog from his catching duties to put down a rally. Credit should go to the pitchers, Glenn Smith and Doug Preuss, who played fine ball despite injuries. Coach Charles Matson, handi- capped by the fact that he had no seniors, started the season with a handful of inexperienced boys, but turned them into a determined group of hard -working baseball players. Hang on to that ball, Glenn! Jim Gloss Doug Preuss Tom Thomas Ray Marthaler W1-nf.,

Hats off to Coach Bernard Olson who started the season with a team of eleven boys, only three of whom had had any experience in organized hockey! Yet, he turned them into a smooth, hard-working machine. The team had a rugged season, but they came through to a flashing finish.

'B BASKETBALL The B Squad Basketball Team at Sibley had a very successful season, finishing with T2 wins and 6 losses. The B Warriors won twice over White Bear, Anoka, Hastings, and Ramsey, and once over Humboldt, Columbia Heights, Cambridge, and North St. Paul. The team lost twice to Stillwater and South St. Paul, and once to Humboldt and Colum- bia Heights. Coach George Stielow feels that next year Coach Charles Matson will have some deter- mined players to work with and the promise of a successful season. TRACK In the spring of T953 the Sibley track team had its initiation into Suburban competition. They com- peted in three meets-the Carleton Relays, the Sub- urban Meet, and a dual meet with South St. Paul. No one placed at Carleton, Staeheli and Morgan placed at the Suburban meet, and the team came in second in the dual meet. The boys lacked ex- perience, but for a first year, they did well. Coach George Stielow is hoping for a more successful season in 1954. FRONT ROW: Dick Morgan, Dan Bryan, Rag Delange, Tom Thomas, Don Ireland, Butch Beihl, Dave Kios.
