Varsity Basketball CLARENCE EULER Oiler , another Sophomore, played as forward. His hook shots and good guarding will probably make Oiler a great help to the team next year. BERL SMITH Smithy was a Freshman this year. He didn't get to play much but we will all see him around next year. GEORGE WILLIAMS Ace is another Freshman. He helped run the bankboard this year on the second team and next year will be a tough man to hold down. DELBERT OTT Otto was a sub on the second team this year. He is a good shot from anywhere on the floor and will be in there fighting next year. Otto is a Sophomore this year. CLYDE HARM AN Red reported this year for the team after serving as last year's man- ager. Red is a junior this year. KENNETH SHEEKS Kenny , a Freshman, worked as- number one substitute for the second team. We should see more of his work next year. GEORGE SCOTT Scottie , a Freshman, did not see much action this year. His height and acurate shots will make him a good man. VVAYNE VOLLMAR Hound , a Freshman, was a sub on the second team. His good shooting ability and guarding will help him next year. HARLAND HERR Rum was another Freshman. He was a sub on the second team. He will probably see more action next year.

Varsity Basketball LA VERDO FOX Bert, a Senior, served as co-captain for 1941. He played regularly as forward and turned in his usual good job at working the bankboard. Bert is a tough man to lose. GLEN CO ALE Mussie, a Senior, also served as co-captain. He broke into the first five this year as a guard. He is a good aggressive player and will be greatly missed next year. RONALD SHELIJRICK Doc, a junior, the tallest man on the team, held down the center position all season. Possessor of a fine spirit and with another year to go, t'Doc should be a key man next year. RAY GUNDY McGilicudy, a Junior, played a forward position and his specialties were long shots. He will be a valuable man on next year's team. EDVVARD SHANK Shaver, is only a Sophomore and held down a regular position as guard. His size was a disadvantage to him, but he offset it by his accurate shots and fancy ball-handling. RAYMOND NEIFER Bud a Sophomore, was a sub on the first team. His fine guard- ing and accurate shots saved many games for the second team. NORMAN SCOTT Normie was the center on the second team. His height and pivot shots helped save many games. He is a Senior and will be greatly missed next year. VYALTER KARNS Troll was a Junior and his long shots helped to win many games for the second team. He is a possible candidate for the first team of '41 and '42, JACK BALLARD Jake was a substituteiforward on thefirst team. Jake ran both bankboards with surprising success and 1S also a candidate for next year's first team. JOHN VVALTER johnny was a Sophomore. He played any position that the coach asked him to play and did it well. He is one of the most promising ball players to come from the second team in some time.

Track There were thirteen boys who answered Coach Kinney's call for track. They were as follows: Fox, Mawer, Smith, Creps, Gundy, Sheldrick, Shanks, Walters, Scott, Willaims, Sheeks, Smith, and Herr, They are small in number but great in stature. The first meet was with Webster, the Wood County Champions last year. Harland Kinney's Indians came in second best, but they took many first places. The score was 55-48 with Togany's star track man, Fox, taking first place in the 100 yd. dash, the shot put C43 ft. H54 in., a new unofficial recordj, high jump, and discus. Mawer, another senior, will be greatly missed also. Mawer runs the 100 yd. dash, the 220 yd. dash, and ran second on the mile-relay team. Smith, a senior, was used exclusively in the relay events. He is a fellow with plenty of spirit and heart and that's the main thing in track. Gundy has another year with the Indians and will show his speed in many coming events. Ray takes part in the pole vault, 440 yd. dash, broad jump, and the mile relay. Sheldrick and Vvalters, sophomores, are promising track men for the years to come. Williams, Sheeks, Scott, Smith, and Herr, are all freshmen and will place in events in the near future, and will be seen in the limelight of sports at Togany. Losing the first track meet the Indians came back strong against VVayne and came out on top with a score of 52-48. Jr. High Basketball The jr. High started out with two scheduled practices a week. The following boys were present for the first practice: Bob Smith, Cloyd Nicodemus, Raymond Roudebush, Ilick Shank, Vernon Vollmar, Lyle VVright, Gene Pfaff, Bob.Sears, and Donald Buehrer. The jr, High had a very successful season this year, having won 10 games and lost 3. They finished up with second place in the league, but were defeated by Jackson for the league championship. The papooses, however, lost their first game in the county tournament to Liberty. Previously they had defeated Liberty twice. The Jr. High team shows promise of being good material for the varsity basketball teams in the coming years. .40-
