U. fightf' i PIAMMOND Hammond is a senior and this .is his first year to earn a letter but that is not saying that Ham- mond is new material. He has been on the squad before.

L .J 4. 2 CZ' 7 Cerst.-,',, 1 ,, ,E.,.Q,..: ,. s . ROCKWOOD, C ll plain t'Kelly is beyond a doubt the best offensive man ever to don the Maroon and Gold. He com- bines speed with a deadly eye for the basket, which makes him a very valuable man. t'Kelly is a line captain. He understands the game from beginning to end. He is willing to cooperate and help all on the team. A fast, clever, shifty basketball player. HANCER Hancer finished his basketball career just as brilliantly as he entered 'four years ago. Hancer's steady invincible backcourt game has been a great factor in Western Union victories. Hans is one of the most outstanding men in athletics ever produced here. He is a real sport, a hard fighter, and a sincere trainer. The position of guard vacated by Hancer after four years of continuous service will be hard to fill next year. VVe hope a second Hancer can be found. A basketball player supreme. PETERSON Pete has rotated around on the team this year, playing all positions equally well. Peterson has been a consistent scorer this year on offensive. Next year will be Peterson's last year and we are expecting Pete to be at his best. Peterson is a big, rangy man with a level basketball head. Not speedy but clever. I i'Let's go next year, 'Pete'! KxMM A small man with a good eye for the basket. This is his first year on the squad. Next year Kimm should be a powerful factor on offense, because of this year's experience and his eye for the basket. Kimm is a clever, shifty man on his feet and also favored with speed. A fast, fieet basket shooter. HAAS Although Haas is small in stature, he made up over and over again by his fight and ability to play teamwork. Haas has not been a heavy scorer this year. Next year we expect to see him develop in basket shooting, which will make him a big gun during the rest of his career at VV. U. C. Never loafing-always-playing hard.

TENNIS The spring sport is enjoyed by a large number of the students. The college has three fine tennis courts and they are occupied most of the time when the weather per- mits. The prospects for our team this spring are an unknown quantity. Captain Hoorne- man is the only man of our past championship teams that is in school. However, lVIr. Hoorneman is assured of some good support from a group of tennis artists including Kimm, Zech, Harnack, and other Freshmen who have not yet shown their wares. The past few years YVestern Union has had exceptionally fine tennis teams ranking very high in the Iowa Conference annual meet. This year, with the determination and spirit exhibited toward tennis, we can look for a team that will not be taking a back seat wherever they may chance to play. Tennis here is by no means only a lI1Z1I1,S game. Maxiy of the girls are interested in the sport, and they have shown ability in that line in the annual women's championship meet each spring. Each year there is a men's singles and doubles tournament. This creates a great interest and rivalry, from which emerges some tennis matches that are unexcelled for thrills. The schedule for this spring has not been arranged yet with other schools. Last year it included duals with Yankton, South Dakota U., and the Iowa Conference Championship. Page '74
