Second Row: Coach Folkert, Robert Stauch, Arthur Bloomquist, Reserves l:lE reserve squad of this season was built around the nucleus of of one veteran, Raymond Funnell, who played during the season of 1929-'50. Although handicapped by small play- ers, the squad won ten out of thirteen games, the defeats being administered by St. Mary's, Shelby, and Montague. The coaching of Mr. Folkert was responsible for this good record. The first eight games of the season were all victories for the local squad hut the first defeat was met in a game with St. lNIary's. Due to a small court, the locals were beaten by the Muskegon team. The following game with Shelby proved disastrous for the squad, but Mon- tague, the next opponent was taken into camp and the team was again in form. This game was followed by one with Fremont and the latter proved to be one of the greatest hazards to us, but this team was defeated after a spectacular overtime finish. The final game was with Montague. During the game, the squad put up a valiant hght but they were finally beaten hy one basket in the last few seconds of play.

Girls' Basltelball ACING a hard schedule with a small amount of veteran material, the Girls' Basketball Squad made a fine record in winning six and dropping but three contests. Any team that must face such powerful court squads as the Muskegon Reds and the 1950-'31 Montague combination had its job cut out for them! Custer came to Whitehall to open the season in December and presented a smooth-passing attack. The score was tied at half but in the second half the Red and White was not to be denied and made enough baskets to register a 16-ll victory. Ravenna was next on the local sextette's schedule but the inexperienced visiting team was no match for the Whitehall tossers and a 42-S victory was rolled up. The following Montague game, however, was a hard one. The Blue and White had a fast moving combination, and clever floor work. Montague scored heavily in the first half and coasted to a 23 to 7 victory. The Muskegon Reds, Whitehall's first class A opponent, was next on the local card. White- hall fought hard the first half and the score was close but Muskegon reserve strength began to wear down the Whitehall attack and the Big Reds won 45 to 28. St. Mary's was the next opponent and it proved but a practice game as Whitehall rolled up a 45 to 0 score. Earlier results were duplicated in four return games. Whitehall went down fighting to Montague in their second meeting by a 18 to 8 count. St. Mary's was defeated by a lop-sided score of 37 to 9. Ravenna girls cancelled due to illness and in the final the Whitehall squad beat the Custer Cardinals 23 to 8. Brightwell and King were the heavy scorers of the season. Walters, Brightwell and Fechner alternating at the pivot positions did fine work. Mord, Havlik and De Witt did most of the guard work and kept the oponent's score low. Good reserve strength consisting of Kinsey, Swenson, Schneider, Haupt and others saw much action. Much credit is due Coach Geraldine Holmes for the fighting spirit she installed into her team. Hilda Mortl is the only member of 1951 squad lost through graduation and next year's team should be even more formidable than the present one. iimm..4nw4,..l. .., l. l, Page F on y
