New-Na.mes; Season Now On The basketball season is on and the Tigers have, good . prospects tor another championship team. Coach Woodle lost the largest majority of his last year's champions through. graduation, but he ,1s. confident that he now bas. one. Just as. good, or a little better. It is requiring a lot of training to get the squad at their best as there Is a . large percentage of new material to be conditioned. The following, is a series of articles featuring the. men that weren't fea tured In football wrlteups: Bob Arnaldus, a Junior, Is, playing his first. year of basketball. Ke was born at SummervlUe, Oregon, July 9, 1917. Bob la taUi fast and a very efficient: center. BUI Bohnenkamp. was born In La Grande, May 23, 1017. Bill played with the championship squad last year and is exhibiting excellent, akiy this, year.. ' Frank Kesler, a sophomore, played an excellent game of. basketball, in the Union game, Friday. Frank was born iu La .aranJc, October 18, 1916. Paul Klein was bom at Port Ar thur, Texas. February 5, lSlfi. This is Paul's first year of basketball and he has already proven himself very valuable, to the team. . Dallas Marshall gave an excellent ; account of himself In the Union game i which gives the Tigers a better as surance of the championship and the trip to Salem. Dallas was born at ; Enterprise, Oregon, January 14, 1917. j Morris Robertson was born at Pec- j ry, Oregon, September 1, 1917. This j Is his first year with the squad, and ; he is very valuable as a center. Mor- I ris Is easily detepted in a game, as he is hahdlcdpped with a screen 1 guard over his glasses, but this doesn't seem to have. any. effect on. his bas ketball skiU. ' Dave Stoddard Is playing his sec ond year with the Tigers. He, was born at Santa Cruz, 'California, Au gust 4, 1916. Dave is another one of those, men wbq is strengthening the Tigers' assurance for the, champion ship. Vernon Stoddard was born in La Grande January 4, 1916. He is fol lowing' In tlie footsteps of his brother, Lowell, whose skill helped) make La Grande the championship team in 1U32. Tom Zlvkovlch was born at Boise, Idaho, November 28, 1914. Tom is a senior, which Is very unfortunate fpr next year's squad as he is one of the most efficient centers that La. Grande has ever had!." Due to u leg injury, Tom has been unable to play until this year. The following Tigers were featured in the Tiger Highlights during foot ball season: Victor Bean, .Ralph Do Boie, Ralph Floberg, Fred Gehring, can Hansen, Norman Hogenson, Shel don Hyde, Hughey irwln, Oliin Oe born, Enrl Peterson, Marlon Reynolds, Donald 8titt and Kenneth Webb. Some of these men are playing the,ir nrst year or basketball while others have played from one to two years on previous teams. They are all ex hibiting as much skill In basketball as they did in football. In fact, some are displaying more skill in basketball. Mr. Hedden: "Did yon do any busi ness while I was gone, Son?" Ray Hedden: "Yes, a man bought a pair of shoes on time." Mr. Hedden: "How many times have I told you not to sell things on time? I won't see that man again." Ray Hedden: "Oh, yes, you will, I gave hiim two right shoes. Mr. Wight: "What are the sea sons? " Lois Burnettc: "Football and bas ketball."
