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

THE ORACLE heartily congratulated for their feat. Volley ball, an old game, but a new one in interscholastic competition, was the sec' ond championship awarded to Woodward this year. The team managed to win ten of the twelve games scheduled, defeating teams from Hughes, Withrow, Western Hills, and Walnut Hills. Because this game has become a scholastic sport, sevf eral of the team players received letters. In time to come, this will be a major sport, and Woodward, we hope, will again be on top. Tennis, another game building up in the scholastic league, will soon be a major sport. This year at Woodward there were several good tennis players, but not of the caliber of the other schools. With a prac' tice diamond to use at will and letters awarded for the sport, Woodward prob' ably will round out a tennis team that will win in some fast contests in the future. Woodward's athletic department was also represented by a track team. This team was not of the championship type, but they gave the other schools hard com' petition. Track is a sport that calls for continuity in conditioning and training, and requires more time than most of the boys at Woodward can spare. The boys who did represent the track team were in fine shape and were trying to win all the time. ln summing up of these sport activities, we find Woodward participating in more events than we realized. Football, basket ball, baseball, swimming, wrestling, tennis, allfaround W , senior and junior life savf ing, make up the program of the year's sport calendar. The class of 1933, congratulates Dr. Rettich, Mr. Moeller, and Mr. Thompson for their excellent handling of these teams and wish them much success in the years to come. Baseball The Woodward Baseball Team opened their 1932 baseball schedule with an eight to five victory over the Roger Bacon Spar' tans. Being the first game of the season, it was featureless and there were no out' standing plays or players. Woodward made eight runs, eleven hits, and four errors, while their St. Bernard rivals had five runs, eight hits, and two errors. Sex' ton and Wood formed the batteries for Woodward, while Frey did the pitching and Droesch the catching for Roger Bacon. In the next game many errors caused Woodward to be beaten by Withrow, eight to three. Woodward's inneld had a field day in mussing up ground balls, the team recording no less than seven errors. Withrow made eight runs on seven hits, while the Bulldogs managed to tap the rubber only thrice on live hits. Sexton again did the tossing for Woodward, with Herdtner receiving him, while Logan and Schreimer formed the batteries for With' row. Errors again proved costly to Wood' ward. This time Walnut Hills nosed them out, in a sixfinning game halted by rain. Walnut Hills, always regarded as a setfup for the Big Blue team, was a tough oppof nent. The Eagles made four runs on three hits, while Woodward made three runs on four hits. Both teams recorded several errors. Fricke and Herdtner for Wood' ward, and Wolfstein and Bachmeier for Walnut Hills, were the batteries. The Bulldogs Hnally hit their stride in the Norwood game and trounced the Inf dians seven to three. Woodward had little trouble in making thirteen hits from Floyd while Norwood touched Du Buque for only four safeties. Wood for Woodward fCo'nti'nued on page 351 26
