TRACK Track work is the most constructive of all school athletics. A good track man must necessarily be quick, alert, and have a reserve of endurance. Although track is practically a new sport in our High School, Coach Orr announces that he has some likely material in several events. Track practice opened on March 15th with ten fellows reporting. W. C. H. S. has only three meets scheduled for this season; two dual meets and the County meet. The first dual meet is to be held at Niantic, April 27th and the other at Waynesville, May 27th. The County meet will be held at Niantic May 7th. BASEBALL Baseball season was quite long last fall. The team was organized September 1st, and the last game played November 5th, with Dres-bach as manager and I. Schroeder as Captain. The following men played: pitcher ........... Schroeder catcher ............... Oakes 1st base.........V. Schroeder 2nd base...........Winegarner 3rd base ........... Dresbach short stop ........... Slonaker 1. field........Bost and Major o. field .............. Spitzer r. field.....................L. Winegarner On account of the greater interest taken in track, baseball will not be a part of the athletics this spring. BASKET BALL Owing to inconveniences in our athletic field we have not had the best of luck in our basket ball games of the season. The games have been few in number and those won but a small percentage of those played. However it has not been a complete failure. We have kept up the training of the mind and body and have impressed upon the minds the motto, Defeat without Anger.” Our hopes are that we will have a better place to play next season, possibly a new’ gymnasium. Although we are losing several good athletes, our prospects for 1923-24 are quite encouraging.
