Knowlton and Pete Sohl. During the entire season of seventeen games, Arlington won fourteen games and lost three. Arlington opened its basketball season with a decisive victory over Utica. In the second game with Grove City, Knowlton scored sixteen points to lead the team to a 39-19 victory. Circleville brought a supposedly strong team to our gym, but the Roundtowners were quickly subdued by the fine play of the Golden Bears. The London Red Raiders were defeated. Bill TouVelle led the scoring for the evening. The fifth game of the year found Arlington and Worthington engaged in an overtime battle. We won this hard-fought game 30-28. The team opened its conquest for the Central Buckeye League title by defeating Westerville 35-22. Having defeated Hilliards after a bitter battle, Arlington became one of the few undefeated teams in the state. Next, the team met a strong Delaware Willis five. However, the boys were able to eke out a 43-40 victory. Our team produced victories nine and ten of the season by defeating Columbus Academy 50-39 and Grandview 50-33. Bexley defeated Arlington for the first time in eleven games. A Bexley shot in the last twenty-five seconds of play gave the game to them by the score of 34-33. The second round of Central Buckeye League play produced the following scores: Arlington 64. Westerville 40; Arlington 39, Delaware 29; Arlington 42, Grandview 18; Arlington 47, Academy 18; Arlington 33. Bexley 34. On February 27, by an identical score, 34-33, Bexley defeated our team for the second time. By two small points, Bexley was made champion of the league while Arlington finished second. It is no wonder that these two games with Bexley will go down in the records as the heartbreakers of this season. In the first round of the District Tournament, Bexley defeated Arlington for the third time 42-28. This game was the last for Sohl. Knowlton, Seville, TouVelle, Miller, Slager, Stout, and Jones. The season was climaxed with the announcement that several members of the team had been placed on the various all-star teams throughout the city. THE GOLF SQUAD of this season had the distinction of being defending state champions. The captain, Pete Sohl, was defending state individual champion. He was supported by seniors Ed Saville and Dave Putnam. Jack Carruthers. Jim Kirk, and Bob Sheahan made up the rest of the squad. Arlington participated in the Greater Columbus Golf League. THE TENNIS TEAM was led this year by Captain Bill Leonard. Pete Sohl, Bob Blackford, Ned Green, Sonny Knowlton, Nelson French, and Arch Robison participated in most of the matches. THE SWIMMING TEAM this year, under the direction of Mr. Gar Griffith, completed a successful season. The team participated in five dual meets and was victorious in four. The lone defeat came at the hands of Tremont Ross, the state champions. The team won the city high school championship and finished third in the district meet. THE TRACK SQUAD opened the track season without the services of many leading point makers of last year. Under the leadership of Coach Larkin and Captain Bill Davidson, a well-balanced and very successful track team ran and jumped at each meet. The team engaged in the Wesleyan and Miami Relays, the District Meet, and several dual and triangular meets with schools in and around Columbus. AN ARLINGTON BASEBALL TEAM was organized this year for the first time in nearly fourteen years. Mr. Griffith served as coach for the team. Since there were only four seniors on the entire squad this year, we can look forward to an all veteran team next spring. paqe twenty-flv

GIRLS’ SPORTS The year 1941-1942 was an active year for girls' sports. All types of sports were offered to the girls under the direction of the Girls' Athletic Association, Leaders' Class, and Miss Ogan, athletic director. To the girls graduating this year, participation in sports proved to be one of the most valuable and most popular phases of school life. HOCKEY once again took the spotlight among the fall sports. The seniors emerged as victors of the interclass tournament which was held in October. During the season the senior team competed with teams from Columbus School for Girls, Grandview, and University.
