lead the basketball team.
"Hyme" entered Coburn in the fall
of 1922 after having made fine
record In athletics at Edward Little
High school In Auburn. He made
the football team that fail and Ml,s
one of the stars OF the team. AT The

as the basketball season rolled
around Shanahan went out FOR the
team and made forward position.
His work was 50 good that he was

game all season and the names of
Shanahan and Weston were on the
tongues of everyone who watched the
sterling pair in action. They did
everything that good backs shou.l
do and did 1t better than the aver

Shanahan was the outstanding star

That enemy is starvation. The elk

They are starving because the cattle
