Vascifnitisgrlas Q Il 1 l 1 1 A Review of the 'Year in Athletics Woodward's athletic teams can be proud of a successful year. In the past years Woodward was never capable of scoring more than one championship but this season she can boast of two and a close second to another. The two coaches, Mr. Moeller and Mr. Thompson, have proved that their untirf ing drilling will always result in note' worthy accomplishments. Those two men' tors, throughout the year, did not let down once or even think of it. Thus Woodword furnished teams of high caliber, and al' though these teams were not invincible, or even close to it, they were hard to beat in any school league. ' The football team with good material soon got under way. Led by some of last year's stars, the team accomplished the un' usual by winning their Hrst three games, defeating Norwood, Elder, and Hartwell. Then the team slipped and lost their next game to Purcell. They came right back to win from Walnut Hills, only to be def feated in their last three games by With' row, Hughes, and Western Hills. These defeats gave Woodward an even break, with four victories and four defeats. It is interesting to know that Woodward made sixteen touchdowns against its opponents' thirteen, and outscored its opponents 105 to 84. The basket ball team is the pride of the year, for they brought to the school Wood' ward's Hrst basket ball championship in several years. The material was wonder' ful, for seven of the regulars had played together the year before and now were clicking like a clock. The team worked like a machine and went right through its schedule winning thirteen and losing but one. Then, in the tournament, Woodward won two games and gained the right to go to Dayton for State laurels. At Dayton the team was beaten by a close score. The team hung up a record that will be hard to beat in years to come, for it won Hfteen and lost two. This team played hard and well throughout the season and was ref warded at the end with a championship cup. The seven players who received let' ters on this championship team also ref ceived gold basket balls, a gift that can al' ways be cherished. The players were Griffiths, Hardy, Frey, Groll, Sexton, Du Buque, and Kappner. The school swimming team is one that will be remembered for some time, for, not only running second to the Western Hills championship team, they also had the best 200fyard relay team in the state. In all three of the Cincinnati high schools' swim' ming meets, Woodward was second, close behind Western Hills, thus winning the second place cup. In dual meets Wood- ward was successful, for she won from Hughes, Withrow, Walnut Hills, but was beaten by Western Hills, the home of the champs. The championship relay team which Woodward produced, not only beat the other schools but broke the Ohio State high school 200fyard relay team time, with a mark of 1:45. This team was made up of the school's best swimmers, Gau, Glueck, Gehler, and Hutchinson. The boys ref ceived line silver medals and should be 25
