a hr rutur iErflrrlnr Whiting High School is just finishing another successful year in athletics. We are a four sport school and are endeavoring to put each branch of athletics on a permanent and self supporting financial basis. In addition to the four major sports which include football, basketball, baseball and track, much time has been devoted to swimming and tennis. Whiting High put her first football team on the field in 1922 and has developed steadily in this sport since that date. This year’s team made a good competitive showing along side of other veteran teams in the county. To survive the sectional tournament grind as runners-up in the tournament and being eliminated by only a small margin in the final game, bespeaks the strength of our 1925—26 basketball team. A large and enthusastic group of thinly clads were on hand at the opening of the track season. A number of dual and invitation meets have been included on the schedule. At the present time the baseball team is making a fine record and promises to finish well in the lead on the county schedule. ATHLETIC BOARD Student Members: — Back row, Emil Ulm, John Berdis: front row, Martha Walker, Lena Hardin, Robert Denham. Faculty Members: — Back row, L. W. Applegarth; front row, H. H.

u,hp £ ptttor Irflrrtnr Football Team FOOTBALL A large squad responded to Coach L. B. Hart’s annual call for football material in “25”. However, as one sized up the men, there were numerous holes noticeable in the squad, on account of men lost by ineligibility and graduation. They were put through intensive training and practice by Coach Hart and Assistant Coach Lint. Jones and Tull.v at once showed (hey had the tackle position fixed down: Bunchik and Kekich showed their superiority as the guards: Reynolds made a “neat” center; Movnihan and Whiting made an excellent pair of ends and Capt. Conopeotis, Dwan, Berdis, and Buehler proved themselves the best backfield material available. With several weeks of practice and training under their belts the Oiler eleven went into the game with Hammond Tech, as their opponents in fine shape. The men had the edge on the Tech, bunch until Capt. Conopeotis was forced out of the game w.th a broken collar bone. This loss threw the team into confusion and a defeat was the result. Coach Hart had a very perplexing job to accomplish before the next game and that job was finding a fullbacK to take “Nick’s” place. He was unable tc do this from the material he had through the season, though several of the squad were tried out in this position.
