Basketball calls for strict training of both mind and of body. The practices, the coaches' criti- cism andlor encouragement, the mood of the student body, and the lockerroom tension are important factors. The season is long over now. Even though the recordC5-125 is not overly impressive, many games were lost by very small margins. Only the East High Tigers beat the Braves decisively. Coach John Hayes feels that Gary Kopp, Scott Kearns, Bill Baker and Captain Ned Kirby, all seniors, did a re- markable job. Kirby and Kopp re- ceived honorable mention in all- city ratings. Coach Hayes also feels that Whetstone will have a strong team next year when Jack Wilson, Jim Shields, Rich Clouse and Bruce Powell will be returning lettermen.

In the course of this season's six regular meets the Whetstone cross country team ran against nine schools Ceight in the City Leaguel, losing to only two of them, West and Brookhaven. The Braves confirm their rank by taking third to those schools in the City Varsity Meet late in October. In that free-for-all, held at Raymond Memorial Golf Course, Pat Meyer and Gary Kopp, team co- captains, placed second and sixth respectively. In addition to taking part in City League competition, the team participated in the district meet, also at Raymond, in which it placed seventh among the 17 teams of its division. Because Whetstone did not finish fourth or better in its division, it did not qualify for the regional meet. However, the top 10 runners in each of the two divisions of' the district were allowed to run in the regional, regardless of whether their teams qualified, and Pat Meyer, having finished seventh in Whetstone's division, began to get his legs and lungs in shape for the regional meet. In the regional, Pat distinguished himself by placing 10, and, as one of the top 15 runners, he qualified for that all-star competition held at the Ohio State University Golf Course-the state meet. Among those who ran in the state meet, alone or with their teams, Pat finished 24. Three years ago, in Mr. Roger Wolfe's first season as coach, the team ranked second to Brookhaven in the City League. The following season, autumn of 1965, brought the City championship to Mr. Wolfe and the Braves. This year's team, again under Mr. Wolfe's leadership, continued Whetstone's fine record by placing third in the city.
