Are Through

| Redlands high school will lose by
graduation of the class of 'O9 several
of the best athletes in the recent his
| tory of the school. In class by NM
| self is Erwin Best, one of the most
versatile athletes the foothill high school
has ever developed. In Rugby tootDali
| he has played a three-quarter position,
and was the best ground gamer on the
team, a heady player and sure tackler
at all times. To his speed in running
down opponents and in carrying the
| ball Redlands owes much.
| In baseball Best was also a star dur
| ing the four years he played on the
! team. No one has been able to cover
so much territory in the outfield, and
while playing left garden, the hardest
| in the lineup so we'll as Deacon, and
he has led most of the time in the
stick work. Again, in track work Best
was the individual star of the team,
being the fastest man the school could
present in the dashes. He also played
forward on the basketball team, thus
| taking a prominent part in every de-
partment of athletic activities, and be-
ing star in each, an unusual record
Another star of large caliber is Bur
nett. In baseball he played in the
/ infield or behind the bat with equal
dexterity. In football he was a hard
player In basketball he has been a
star guard for two years, and on the
| track team he was relied on for points
| in the distance runs and in the broad
| jump.
| Another power in football was Harry
Ford, one of the strongest and heaviest
men on the team. In track and field
events he was a point winner in the
shotput and hammer throw, and in
/ L AI..TI 1. i
| getting in portion of each game.
George Hazard was the individual
star on the basketball team, and one
of the best forwards in the Citrus Belt
league. He also played on the Rugby
team and represented the school in the
mile run in the field and track events.
Fred Hendrickson was one of the
| heaviest men on the football team, and
has been on the baseball team for two
years behind the bat and in the out
| field.
Lloyd Taliafferro, captain of the track
| squad, and the winner of the half mile
event in several races. was strong in
the middle distance runs.
| Harold Putnam was center on the
baseball team and strong player.
Frank Cole was entered in the weight
events in track and field meets, and
made a splendid showing last seasons
From the girls basketball team sew
eral stars are lost, including the cap
| tain, Beatrice Yost, and Margaret San
born, Eunice Gilman, Ruth Howell.
| Rowena Bush and Lora Knecht.
Though several stars are lost to the
football teams, the outlook is consid-
cred good. Earl Hasson, a senior of
| next year, has been chosen as the cap
| tain. He will contest with Chester Cow
! gill for the three-quarter position. The
| other back field positions can be filed
ls,c e Mo fanl m
! in fullback, Walter Brown, Charles
Trout and Walter McCarren in three
| quarters, in addition to Hasson and
| Cowgirl and Richard Roberts and RAJ
| fael Echeverria at half In the serum
there will also be several old players,
| including Waldron, Armon Hentschke,
Harry Pettingill and Theron Bradshaw,
| leaving several places to be filled, one
of which probably will go to Marion
| Frost, who proved the strong man in
the serum of the second team last
year, and another to Eugene Forker
| in case he returns to school. There
also will be some promising new ma
terial, so much so. in fact, that sew
eral of the old players may have to
work hard to hold their positions. Rich
ard and j. Waite are fast men for half
back positions and may get into the
game there or in the serum.
It is reported that Milton Frick of
| local DdSbDdI team may ItIuLH "
| school to complete the course, and
should he decide to do so he will be a
tower of strength in the serum. He Is
| also strong at baseball.
| Gus Boesh, a freshman who has been
a star in the infield on the baseball
team. can easily make the football team
| at half or in the serum, and is res
markably fast on his feet and with his
hands at passing the ball, as well as
strong enough for serum duty. Paul
! Edwards is another who may contest
| for a halfback position. Charles Driver
probably will be a candidate for the
back field, and it is probable that other
heavy men will enter the school and
make a place on the team in the
serum.
In baseball the outlook is promising,
| the principal work before the physical
director being the development of q
backstop to take Burnett's place. Trout
and Hasson are both excellent slab
sters, and it is possible that the latter
will try for catcher next year, having
| played that position until a few years
ago. Should he do so the team will
have a strong battery, and it would be
few steals that opposing runners would
| make to second base. Brown will be
back and should take place at the
initial sack. Peck going to second.
Boesh and w. Hentschke will be at
home at short and third. In the field
will be A. Hentschke, Cherrill, Pitts
ant probably some new material.
The basketball probably is hit harder
than any of the other athletic teams,
having only Hasson and Driver as
nucleus. There is plenty of good ma
terial in the school, however.
The girls basketball will have Hatty
Wiley, Florence Strang and Edith Pat
terson as nucleus next fall
In track athletics it is expected that
the experience of this year will make
it easy to develop a strong team next
| year.
