Whitehouse scored early and took a 5-0 lead. The lead was diminished to 5-3 as the game progressed, but was unchanged as the final ball was pitched. Wilson and Noaker took up the pitching chores and turned a good performance. Friday, April 24, found Whitehouse baseball team at Monclova. By this time we were having pretty good baseball weather and the whole team was in pretty good shape. Wilson and Noaker pitched good ball, and with the whole team slugging the ball all over the lot, we coasted to a 7-2 victory. Monday, April 27, was the Lucas County Tournament. This year only four teams were entered: Whitehouse, Holland, Monclova and Ottawa Hills. Monclova easily defeated Holland 17-3, but Whitehouse in the second game, was forced to go to 10 innings before defeating Ottawa Hills. Now left in the tournament were Whitehouse and Monclova. Thursday, April 30, was the final game of the tournament. Whitehouse scored one run in the iirst, seven in the third, and added live more in the sixth inning. After obtaining a good lead, Coach Thomas substituted in his lineup, thus giving almost everyone a chance to play in the championship game. This is the first time since 1937 that Whitehouse has won the baseball tournament. The boys who helped to win were: Wilson, Studer, Sherman, Struhsaker, Lawrence, Haynes, Strzelecki, Talmadge, Bucher, Heft, O. Strzelecki and Noaker. With the District tournament still to be played, we can well assume that the Tigers baseball season was as successful as the team of '41 which lost but one game. BOYS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION . At the September meeting of the B. A. A., we chose the following olficers for the year: President, Carl Wilsong Vice-President, Kenneth Haynes 5 Secretary, Dan Telemag Treasurer, Vernor Bucher. The need for new baseball uniforms was discussed and, as a result of this, the organization sponsored a drive to raise money. Skull caps and license plates were sold by the members throughout the school and the community. ' On Friday, April 10, the annual banquet climaxed the year's activities. After the dinner the usual speeches were made by outstanding members of dilferent team sports, and the various athletic awards were presented by Coach Thomas. The main speaker of the evening was Mr. Harry Straub of Toledo, Ohio. The evening was rounded olf in true athletic style with a fast and furious basket- ball game between the Seniors CChampions of the Interclass tournamentj and the All-Stars la team composed of the best players from each classy. ,
