Golf Launching in a weak manner, the golfers waited until mid sea to find themselves. Paced throughout by Bob Antie, who consistently scored below 80, the Hills ended in the first division behind Pontiac ' s exceptional Chiefs. At the Lapeer Regionals the quartet took third place and last week opposed the state ' s best strokesmen at Jackson. Ed Anzicek, newcomer to the squad, held down the number 2 spot by tallying in the low eighties, followed by John Link and Art Herzog who occasionally came below 85. In the Jackson finals the boys proved themselves the second best in the state of Michigan. Baseball The Lumberjacks were not considered serious threats after dropping two of their three opening games, but victories over Pontiac, Owosso, Saginaw, and Bay City put them back in the thick of the fight. The victory over Bay City, Mav 10. was the outstanding game as Albosta bested Bill Mueller of Central in a tight pitcher ' s battle. Another thriller was the Saginaw game. The speed ball artist, Albosta once again showed h i s mastery over the opposing batsmen by hurl- ing over shabby fielding by his mates. The Jack offensive threat has been Freddie Conzel- mann. His bat has driven in many runs and often times the winning run. Other consistent and steady performers have been Elmer Simon, Harry McGee, Floyd Klenoski, and Jack Hackstadt. Baseball April 23 A.

Basketbal On to Grand Rapids! you Lumberjacks! Farewell Just a big whirlpool with all those Eddy ' s includes Anzicek, Collier, Albosta, Kirstowsky, and Haar. Enthusiastic basketball follow- ers leave Webber gymnasium af- ter the Yellow and Blue ' s second triumph over the east-siders. Walter Seibel, Ted Kennedy, and Ed Kirstowsky smile happily under the dew drops and give forth a blaring, but wet, rendi- tion of Sweet Adeline. Peach face Stevens sets him- self for a shot at the meshes. Trojan and Lumberjack seconds battle at Webber as Wolgast ' s men even an earlier setback from the Saginaw lads by stopping a run of sixteen straight victories. Ed Albosta and Elmer E. Simon deal the cards for a game of bridge while waiting for the bus. Joe Murin stops to pass to a teammate with Bay City reserves supplying the opposition. You might call this All Quiet on the Western Front or How Webber Floor Looks to the Jan- itor . Coaches Anderson, Wolgast, and Light take time out to do a little second guessing. Lansing and the Regional tour- ney beckons these Lumberjack ball-bouncers. Bon Voyage to Don Sommerfield, Elmer E. Simon, Walter Seibel, Ed Haar, and Ed Albosta. Legenda 69

They next decisively whipped Bay City ' s Wolves, but could do little the following week against Owosso ' s surprising cinder squad. Entering the Central Relays at Mt. Pleasant, the relay shuttles quartet including Don Sommerfield, Jack Dersch, Tony Deilce, and Art Hahn came out with a first place trophy. The tracksters gave a fine account of themselves against Central State College frosh outfit, though they took the light end of the final score. With talented Valley Stars arrayed against them, the thin dads ended in the cellar, placing only Marv Cooper and Don Sommer- field in the state meet at East Lansing. Tennis The racquet quartet offered little on the scoring log, but plenty of tennis for the Valley passengers. None of his competitors could outstroke invincible Guy Garber after his first few starts, and thus the netters always escaped a shutout. Number 2 man, Al Kundinger, along with Gilbert Deibel, often saved the day, and Cleland Fair collaborated with Ike ' ' for crucial pointage. Garber drowned all his Valley foes in the Regional singles and withstood three dangerous reefs at the state tournament at Ann Arbor. Howard Dietzel and Dan O ' Riordan alternated at position five.
