Club Basketball

There was great spirit shown in the Club basketball this season The games were played in the Middle School Gymnasium on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons There was always a large crowd of rooters backing their own club team There was keen competition shown among the fellows. The season did not begin until after the Christmas holidays but it lasted until the week that the fellows went home in the Spring.

The McKenzies were coached by Mr. Lively It was by his good work that the team was able to win the num her of games necessary to win the championship. The Macks came from an altogether new source this year and surprised the whole school by their great spirit in the game The team lost a few of its members in the middle of the season but in spite of the loss were able to keep up their skill. The Blakes were the constant competitors of the Macks and it was not until the last game had been played with them that the Macks were sure of winning their goa The Dwights did not have the same pep and spirit that they had last year and did not do so well. They were very unfortunate as they did not win a single contest.

Summary Of The Junior Club Games

The Junior Club championship was won this year without any hard struggle between any of the two teams. At the beginning of the season it seemed as if the Dwights were going to be in the race but they were soon put in the rear. The Blakes won but two games and the Dwights won three. There were some of the games that were not decided until the last two or three minutes of play. In all, the season was a good one and there will be a lot of good material for the club teams of next year.

Tennis

Due to tht fact that the Tat/er goes to press before the 1926 Tennis season proper starts, it is impossible to give a review of it.

Following is a resume of the season of 1925: The team was captained by Branch who also coached. That he was a player of no mean ability was proved in his superb wielding of the razquet. The team was composed of four old men and one new man. House played in both singles and doubles teaming up with Branch. The other team was composed of Chalmers, a last year's man, and Hil!igos, a new-comtr. The remaining member was Glass, who played on last ytar's team. The team lost their first match to Ft. Wayne Central and their second to Angola. The team showed up exceedingly well, considering the excellent calibre men they were playing.

Cadet Captain Glass has been chosen by the Director of Athletics to coach the Tennis team this year and we feel certain that under his able coaching we will have a fine team. Seidel is looked upon to be one of the mainstays of this yeasr team.

Track Team

The Varsity Track Team of 1925 was a great success. It was successful in winning two triangular meets during its season; first by defeating two rivals Coldwater and Hillsdale with a score of 53 to 40. The second meet was won from Lima and Angola with a score of 73 to 16. A new school record was set for the discuss by Richard Barrett with a throw of one hundred and ten feet and two inches. The relay team had the honor of defeating the Alumni relay team; time one minute forty two and two-fifths seconds. There are several of last year's men back to be represented on the track and field, and we hope to have as good if not better team than last year because there are some very promising new men this season. Those men that were awarded letters in track last year are: Anderson, Barrett, R., Biederman, Burgess, House, Langford, Metz , Modjeski, Speer, Smitley, Siedel, Sweeney, Schneider, Wilson and Wood.
