Daily year-round gym classes in physical education, for all boys from grades seven thorough twelve, provide a splendid build-up which prepares the lads to take an active part in the extra-mural sports program of each season. Instructed and trained by Coach Jack Clarey, our boys face their opponents ready to put forth their best efforts for the honor of the team. We have good reason to be proud of our Tigers, who de- serve the loyal backing of every student in the school. Yea, Tigers! 40

JACK SLOMA started off the year with a great game against Marshall. He played hard, rough football every game until he became hampered with an ankle injury. Even with a lame ankle. Jack hobbled around to a grand game. One of the most dependable ends in Battle Creek last season was Jack Sloma. Have you ever seen a 5 foot, 8 inch keg of dynamite? Well, we at St. Philip have one. He goes under the name of JEROME HUDON. His offensive brilliance is overshadowed only by his own great defensive play. Jerry is truly an all time football great at St. Philip. An all-around athlete who could star at any position on any team most aptly describes JIM BEESON. An honorable mention All Conference and an All City center who always plays inspirational ball. Jim always puts his whole heart into every minute of every game. BILL TAYLOR, although only a sophomore, has seen plenty of action and can al- ways be depended upon for a bang up game. A deadly blocker and tackler, we are sure he will support us in fu- ture years. An all star freslnnan, DAVE HAAN made first string varsity in his first year. This is in itself extraordinary. He was a great runner and an extremely light backfield man. Dave got hit hard plenty of times but he always got up. He was also the team's number one puntcr. Big ED MORRISON, one of the best backfield inen in the city, was always good for a fight in a game. He rated second string, All-City Berth this year, and we are sure he will rise to greater heights in his future season. Although this, his senior year, was the first time BOB COULOMBE came out for football, he showed Jock and the rest that he was as good as the next man. Bullet Bob's in- experience may have cost him a job as regular, but he was the number one relief man. In fact, by the end of the year he was challenging the best for their jobs. We echo Mr. Clarey in saying, If only he had been coming out for four years! 42 On the
