A 'GWHL qi tit Carl 'Qrimel Christiansen, junior and guard, Primo began i to hit his stride at the close of the season. With the E valuable experience he has obtained this year we look for- A ward to sec Primo tear up things next season. f Ned CWimpyD Wiley, sophomore and forwards Ned was in- ' eligible the first semester but teamed with Jack Gordon he ' added the needed punch in the offenses One big year ahead for Ned. Joe CTigerJ DeFalco, sophomore and forward. Joe's first year on the varsity saw him in the starting lineup the first semester. Wiley and Gordon teamed so well at forward that Joe was shifted to a guard. He jumped center against Lake when Ace and Bob were out on fouls. This valuable all-around exyeriedce will make Joe a big asset next year. Lawrence CMickeyD Cochran, sophomore and forward, Mickey's drawback was his size but he can shoot and handle tho ball with the best of them. Better eat some spinach during the summer, Mickey. ' John Belcik, sophomore and guard. John was green but eager and showed improvement enough to give the regulars a battle for their positions next season. Watch out for this boy, Ellsworth CZipD Sherman, freshman to be carried on that Sherm has earned this year. Zip will be heard from in the near future, william CBillD Pendleton, senior and manager, Just as imjhrtant as a varsity player, Bill served three years as manager and his loss will be keenly felt.

Although we were off in our shooting a lot of credit must be handed the GR five for their fine defense. Gordon scored nine points as well as playing a fine floor game. Feb. 29---Again we met and downed our friendly rivals from Lake high this time by a 28-24 score. This was undoubted- ably the best game of the entire tournament. Ned Wiley and Bob McCamey were our chief threats. Feb. 29---In the finals of the tournament played in the evening following the Lake game in the afternoon, we were not equal to the task of playing two stiff games in one day and lost to a clever Togany five 22-12. ! Feb. 22----In our first game in the Wood county classic we ! LEIPSIC SECTIONAL TOURNAM NT Mar. 5---We became the first Walbridge team to advance to Leipsic and we won our first game there defeating West Unity 36-52 in a thriller. Gordon played a good game and scored 14 points. Mar. 7---Oakwood dropped us from the tournament lists by ekeing out a 50-28 win over the Bears. Carl Christensen played his finest game of the year scoring 7 points and starring on the defense. WHO'S WHO AMONG THE GOLDEN BEARS Ralph CAceJ Cochran, captain and center, highest scorer on the team with 222 points. Ace was a tower of strength on the defense taking the ball off the opponent's backboard. We?ll miss you next year Ace. Bob McCamey, senior and rugged guard playing his first year as a regular improved as the season went on. Bob was mentioned in the NAll Tournamentn team at the sectional meet in Leipsic. Too bad you don't have another year. Jack Gordon, junior, guard. Jay was a consistent perform- er all year and was the spark-plug of the offense. We're looking forward to big things from this lad next year. Keep your eyes on him. Clarence CIt's in the bagl Mason. Mase was a dependable substitute. He was hampered by a bad knee all season and never quite reached his stride. Can't we raise the age limit so you can play another season? rvsscunnuxwsneswuunuxzswcawnumncfvssouumuk-awezwnusunp 'annum' b f' B, f I kj -QI xnl

The third game of the season was played at Luckey, Dec. 20th Helen Harris and Barbara Sigler played an excellent game on the forward end, and Doris Thornton proved her ability as guard The game was close throughout, but in the fourth quarter, Luckey managed to pull out with a win After the holiday season all the girls seemed to have gained a little confidence and fight from their past ex perience and on Jan lOth they played a real game with North Baltimore, and came out on top by quite a large margin North Baltimore had a fine team of tall, fast girls and so our girls deserved praise for their fine work Helen Harris came through in her usual fine manner but other forwards, Glenna Mae Koch and Barbara showed up so very well that the team looked much better than ever before Audrey Tiplady and Elizabeth Johnson also played an excellent game On Jan 17th, a truly 'bad winter n1ght', the girls went to Cygnet, and it was one of those games when neither team played well but our girls were so much superior to Cygnet, that they won by Bapoints Harris alone scored l6 points Walbridge met Luckey on their home floor, Jan 24th Naomi Sigler then demonstrated her hard work to guard one by fifteen points Lake came to Walbridve on Jan Blst In the first half, the girls played in excellent style, but T1plady's playing was so greatly missed after the 2nd quarter when she foul ed out, that Lake easily took the game . .
