Though some veterans were lost in last January's graduation, there are still a number of lettermen who will Hnish this season or return for the next. The team record so far has been good, especially considering the fact that Kermit Fales, co-captain and one of the team's mainstays, was absent from the Hrst ten games of the season. The basketball B squad, or the Shorthorns, B -1 J as they have named themselves, have been getting a TT D f great deal of experience in practice games with non- C Q D league teams. A number of boys in this junior divi- L i L sion show unusual promise, and it is expected that C 1 Am they will amply fill any vacancy in the A squad. C lj ' ln addition to these future stars, the team can C T rely on squad members Bahn, Baker, Boekemeier, I Q Jennings, and Rubich for next season. X Q Graduation, however, has taken its toll. Co- -T Qi,-N captains Allen and Hill were graduated last January, ,X and Dailey, Garret, l-lall, Marlo, Nichols, and Co- me 'Q Q captain Fales will graduate in June.

wound up on the long end of a 6 to 0 score. Bob Danner scored for Southwest after a 70-yard drive against the Cleve- landites. The 12 to 6 defeat handed the Long- horns by Soldan was indeed sorrowful to Southwest rooters, for it made a cham- pionship mathematically impossible. Bob Danner scored the only Southwest touchdown, while Magner and Needles scored for Soldan. The game with Roosevelt was the most thrilling of all Southwest games last season. The greatest thrill of the game, and in Southwest history, was Allen's magnificent 100 yard run back for a touchdown. Catching the ball on his own goal line, he raced for a touch- l down under perfect blocking. Bob Dan- l ner also went over for a touchdown in the first period, and later threw a touch- down pass to Bill Kehm. Alberding connected a pass to Loving for another score. Besides providing Southwest with its best football team thus far, the 1941 squad also had the distinction of having several players chosen for all-star teams. George Kehm was consistently named on the first team, while Bob Danner and Vince Garegnani made either the first or second teams. George Kehm was named on the first team of the Post-Dispatch, Danner and Garegnani were on the second team. The trio was named on the first team of the Star- Times selections: Bill Kehm and Allen being placed on the second team. George Kehm and Garegnani were placed on the Globe-Democrat first team. and Danner was named on the second team. The Quarterbaclcs Club gave George Kehm the right guard position on their first team, and Garegnani and Danner were on the second team. The team was managed by Coach Kittlaus, assisted by Coaches Wetmore, Jones, and Ingerson. Ted Baer and Ted Schuster managed the team, and were awarded letters. Y g Twelve first awards were made to players, 8 second awards, and 3 boys were given let- ters for the third time. The Longhorns scored a total of 106 points to the oppon- ents' 46. In league competition the squad won four and lost two: a year's average of .664, 1 Twenty- three - I biwakk P Q T! e BG

1 1 - fa T . f ft T L , , SWIMMING Prospects for the Longhorn swimming team are certainly not too dark. Cfoach Gerber has. at present, a team comprised mostly of boys who will be back for several future seasons. Thus. the plan of attack for the interscholastic meets this year will be for experience, and not entirely for victory. The team with plenty of experience is usually the team that wins, so in a few years the Southwest swimming team will probably lead the field. Two-thirds of the members of the team are fourth termers or under. which means that they will be back for at least two more seasons. The team has suffered. however, by Stones total absence Qiyj' because of an appendectomy, and Cavan- augh's partial absence for the same reason. f Two mainstays of the team. Calvin Duke 2 1, 'X 'gxaif 1 and Lawrance liuqua, were lost in gradua- friwfl. tions last January. Though these tragedies -1 1- have lessened the possibilities ot having a ffm f'f.??q5,g-,M star team this year. remember to keep your 'WRU ', - no 'Noi' ' Q'P0 - eye on this team.
