urge to do one or the other.
AS a senior manager the work
and duties aren't a bit bad. The
sophomore and junior managers,
since they were below me, did
large part of the work. If we
played on Friday night we usu-
ally folded suits on a Saturday
morning. We pack the suits
the night before whenever we go
away.
The managers | am leaving be-
hind for next year are very cap
able. They are Bob Hughes and
Dale Haynes. The sophomores
are Lawrence Van Winkle and
Bob Beinhower.
In my three years my longest
trip was to Hamilton where we
stayed all night at the Anthony
Wayne hotel. | was hoping the
longest trek would be to the state
finals at Kent, Ohio. But things
work out. The shortest trip was
to Mt. Vernon this year.
The meals before games usual
ly contained boiled meat, baked
potatoes, milk or tea. After the
game the meal contained steak,
mashed potatoes, fruit salad,
corn or peas, bread and butter,
milk and ice cream-without sy-
rup.
The conditions out of town, as
a whole, were very good. | es-
pecially liked Mt. Vernon's and
Chillicothe's hospitality. The RI
val team managers were 0. K.
in most instances. They were
friendly and offered to help you
in any way possible.
MY greatest thrill came in 1896
when | saw Newark defeat New
Philadelphia in the state finals,
1927. My greatest thrill in see
ing a player star was in the
first round of the state tourney
last year against Youngstown
when "Dee" Smelling put on the
greatest exhibition Of individual
scoring ever witnessed in a state
meet when he hit the hoops for
27 points.
Ny greatest disappointment was
our loss at Chillicothe Dec. 26 of
| last year. In the IA or Is gyms
| have been in the last two years
1 my two favorites were the Mas
sillon and Marietta courts. do
not care for the Coshccton gym.
Two officials | like very much
are Kent Pfeiffer and our own
/ phyical education teacher, A. B.
Long. The two | dislike, if you
can call them officials, are Stan
ton Jones and Jay Winters. |
have no favorite players. The
whole Newark team were my fav
orites.
Two plays that linger in my
mind were when Karl Seesholtz
chung them on the rafters" in
the Massillon game and when
"Dee" made a goal when he was
far under the basket and practic-
ally out of bounds in the Cam
bridge game.
| think "Red" Orr is a great
basketball coach. He is very
friendly to all his students. He
is just like anyone else off the
basketball court. On the basket
ball floor it is all work.
"Shue" (Luther Hanshue) is a
great fellow-has a way with
the girls at school. He is very
fine football coach. He prefers
football to the "roundball' game
He always turns out a winning
reserve team. In my three years
at high school his teams won 40
and lost IL. This years team
was his greatest which won II
out Of 18.
Of the three main sports | be-
lieve basketball managing is the
easiest and the most interesting
You are in contact with more ri
val teams and their managers.
During practice the work is easy
This year there were five mana
gers: two sophomores, two jun
iors and myself. The other jun
ior manager last year, Jay Yost,
quit this year because he was
working at nights. In my three
years of managing | enjoyed ev
cry day of it. Pm going to miss
that call next year that says,
"anyone interested in reserve or
varsity basketball practice be at
the gym at a p. M"
