BASEBALL STARS AIM TO HIT Because of the shortening of the 1941-42 school year the baseball season was considerably ab- breviated. There was enough time between tests to play only three games. The first game was a warm-up with the city team. Paced by a home run by Gillette and good pitching in the clutches by Kenneth DeGorah, the Indians came out with the long end of a 5-2 score. The score of the 1Vestby game, on the home diamond, looked like a free-for-all. 1Vestby led at the end of the fifth inning 6-0. By the end of the sixth inning Tomah tied the score at 6 all. Two errors in the seventh inning accounted for as many runs for Wfestby who won, The score of the Sparta game looked like the score of an exciting football game, 13-1. Sparta took the large score with two home runs with bases loaded. This game, played at Sparta, was the last of a brief season. The game scheduled with La Crosse Logan was called off because of rain. At the end of the season ballots were cast for a captain. The three players chosen were John Graf, a sophomore, and VVarren Gillette and Al- fred Strozewski, seniors. Boys who won letters were: Kenneth DeGorah, 1Varren Gillette, Claire Arity, Robert Cole, Scott Roeder, Alfred Stro- zewski, john Graf, john llischette, Leon Sllisler, james Fell, and George lleser. .fr nad!
