w WESTERN HIGH athletic
teams enjoyed a highly sue
wv cessful season during the
school year now drawing to
q close. The boys from
across the creek were in the thick OF
the fight for every championship.
After tying Tech for the foot ball
crown they were leading contenders
for basket ball honors, which were
never officiaily awarded, and for the
base bali diadem.
Rifle and tennis championships both
were garnered by Western. The lone
sport in which the West End scholas-
tics did not shine was track, but It is
to be expected that a school like West
ern, which must rely more or less on
a comparatively small number of ath.
letes to uphold its prestige in all
sports will be not so strong in some
branch. There is no question that
Dan Ahearn, the big Western director

the material available this season.
Many Stars Lost.
However, if the Western teams are
to be as strong in 1929 as was the
case this season. Ahearn and his as
sistants must overcome the loss of

are to be lost by graduation this

nine; Bobby Stevens, Shortstop of the
