~ ~ Park in t i tu-
ton, The Guyon-coached team
was a veritable power in the
1nterhigh series race, particularly
after the games gathered full
momentum.
Blessed with a lineup including
such stars as Tommy Nolan,
Harry Bassin, Tom Davis, Lavene
Dean and Gay Edelin,, the Lin
coin Park lads ran into an
obstacle in Tech in the opening
game of the season, but following
that setback-and a surprising
one, if ever there was one-the
well-coached youngsters won every
other game to nab the champion
ship hands down.
Took Baseball Title
With this success safely tucked
away, Eastern continued to add
laurels to it's athletic history
books by walking off with the
baseball title which shortly fol-
lowed. The baseball nine had an
excellent battery combination in
Joe Sullivan, 1.-the left-handed
pitcher, and Joe Keegin, steady
and powerful hitting catcher, and
with the addition of Tommy No
Ian. fleet-footed outfielder, Harry
Basin, slugging first sacker, and
Dickie Fitzgerald, capable second
baseman, the championship was
won almost as easily as the bas-
ketball title.
But it was not long before
Tech High jumped into the pic.
ture. The track season started
the Manual Trainers on the war"
path, and what a Warpath!
Coach Hap Hardell again de-
veloped a crack track team-a
team that featured youngsters
like George Began and Paul
Lynch, sprint men, and relay
combination of Norris TheiS, Har-
old Lank, Leroy Green and By
ron Hayden. This relay team
broke a one-mile relay record by
running the distance in 3 min
uteS % seconds.
Football, Too
Following this track triumph,
Tech went on to greater heights
in football, although no cham
pionship was won because the
high school board deemed it best
to curtail the series following a
riot in the Tech-Western game.
This action on the part of the
school board developed into SER
ious proportions before the en-
tire matter quieted down as
students and players went up in
arms. On one particular occasion
the youngsters became so irritated
they burned the effigy of Stephen
E. Kramer, assistant superintend-
ent of the schools. The entire mat
ter ironed itself out later on when
the school board stood by its de-
ciSion to drop the series for the
remainder of the session.
Tech, up to the time the games
were stopped, went through the
schedule undefeated, although
tied by Eastern in the opening
contest. The team was probably
the strongest to represent the
school in ten years.
Pete Alley and Holmes Heat
wole were the backfield stars,
while Reds DAILY, tackle; Hal Gel
ger and Sid Cohen, guards, and
Monroe Emmerich. end, were a
quintet of linemen hard to match.
Eastern Line Strong.
Eastern and Western had cap
able elevens. Eastern's line was
especially noteworthy, thanks to
the coaching of Hardy Pearce,
while Western was good enough
to produce two or three standout
gridders including Krouse, 200
pound tackle; Wynne, veteran
end, and Summberbell, fullback.
EaStern's stars were Bullough, an
end; Hart and Shaw, backs, and
Absher and Carvelas, linemen.
Central, the defending cham
pion, was weakened by the grad
uationS of dependable players
from the year before. The team
had two fleet-footed backs in
Billy Richardson and Johnnie
Jones, however, and an All-High
center in Bill Dunn. Roosevelt's
eleven was big and heavy, but
greatly inexperienced.
