INTRAMURALS Intramural games were set up principally to give boys athletic training and to provide -enter- tainment for the rest of the high school. Participants were able to secure credits for honor awards. The football intramural games are held the eighth period of the day and are run as a tournament. This year there were six teams, a total of 60 players, coached by senior boys. Cal Wilson's team copped iirst place honors and the blue ribbons by defeating Bud Haynes' team. Intramural basketball games are held during the noon hour and provide interesting after-dinner entertainment for all who attend. Marv Big Sherm Sherman's team walked away with the undisputed first place honors by defeating each and every comer. An inter-class tournament was held this year, the seniors taking first place honors. In an effort to pin the seniors ears back, an all star team was formed and a game was played the night of the B. A. A. Banquet. The All-Stars' quest failed to the tune of 30-32. The final game was with Ottawa Hills on their Held. The way it was all doped out was that we should run all over them, but before the game was over everyone had his share of thrills. Whitehouse scored first and failed to add the extra point. In the third quarter Ottawa Hills scored and added the extra point. This was the first time that the Green and Gold was on the tail end of a score. The boys were apparently not satisfied with this score, for they took the kickoff and roared down the field to pay dirt. It took exactly six plays to put the pigskin uver the goal line. The extra point was added making the score 13-7. Later in the third period the Tigers took over the ball on their 30-yard line and in iive plays scored again and added the extra point. The score, 20-7. The foe was held at bay remaining time and Whitehouse ended their football season undefeated, un-tied and running their victory string to 10 straight wins. The individual scoring is as follows: Struhsaker 48 Wilson 42 Bucher 12 Studer 12 Haynes 6 With the final game seven seniors ended their high school football days. They are: Capt. Rollie Studer, Carl Wilson Cmost valuable backj, Cliff Bucher, Bud Haynes, Frank Miller, junior Heller and Dewey Talmadge. In the able substitutes who saw action in the games and in the Juniors and Sophomores who played regularly, Whitehouse has a very promising team. Here's to the team of 42 and may you have another undefeated sason.

They won 11 games and lost two. Because-the cagers had a. good combination bof speed and height, they were able to out-class and out-play 1-nearly all of their opponents. The Tigers scored 394 points during the season while their opponents scored 179. The B squad averaged 30 points per game and their opponents averaged 14 points per game. Coach Rathbunqwas very proud lof the players on his team and was justified in being so because the players were the best sports and the finest players that have ever played on the B squad 'for Whitehouse. Members of the team were: Wendell Low- rence, Marvin Sherman, Danny Telema, Gale Heft, Stanley Cheski, Gerald Hall and Freeman Irelan. Even though most of 'theJ B squadpplayers will move to the Varsity squad next year, the school expects to see a fine second team for the coming season ddue to the good :record set by this year's Junior High team.
