VOL. V, NO. 6
DECEMBER 13, 1963
THE "M" CLUB vs faculty game proved to be an upset last November 20th. For the first time in the history of Maine West, the "M" Club won 42-39. High scorers for the "M" Club were Volker Engel, Dick Lunsford, and Earl White.
THE TABLE TENNIS TOURNAMENT was started in intramurals on Monday, December 2nd. After all competition was completed, the winner in the freshmen division was Larry Carl. Finishing behind Larry was Kirk Waberzeck. The sophomores were led by Tom Mordue, and Gary Deaville was runnerup. In the junior division, Dave Hammer won first place. First place in the senior division was awarded to Lee Hayward, with Bill Wagner finishing second.
In the basketball tournament, which also started on December 2nd, 45 teams signed up for the competition. This tournament which is double elimination is run on a class basis. The juniors and seniors have started competition, and the sophomores and freshmen will start after Christmas.
AFTER FOUR GAMES this year, the JV cagers have yet to gain victory. Against Niles West, Waukegan, Willowbrook, and Proviso West, the Warriors have held leads in most of the games, only to slacken off in the end. There is great potential on the squad, however, and with a few breaks, they'll be up in competition.
THE FROSH‑SOPH TANKER'S non-conference record stands at 1-2, defeating Oak Park, 58-37, and losing to Evanston, 83-12, and Proviso West, 48.47. "Against Oak Park," Coach Kerns commented, "excellent times were turned in by Wenzel in the 50-yard butterfly with a 28:8, Currier in the 150-yard freestyle with a 1:37.4, and Popp in the 50-yard breaststroke with a 33:4."
HOT OFF THEIR most recent win over Niles West, the sophomore basketball team looks to be a powerhouse in the '63-'64 season. Led by sharpshooters Ken Mueller and John Yager, the little Warriors have great possibilities and could prove to be a strong contender in the sophomore race.
THE JV MATMEN started off the season by trampling Evanston 33-9. They went on to keep the loss column open by downing Proviso West, 27.18, and sliding past Niles West, 23.19.
THE SOPHOMORE WRESTLING team jumped off to a bad start by losing to Barrington, 26-22. They came right back in the next meet by whipping Proviso West, 31.21. In this meet, Tom Hansch amazed spectators and teammates of both sides by pinning his opponent in 17 seconds.
THE FROSH GRAPPLERS successfully opened their season by defeating Barrington, 38-20. The results of their second meet was a smashing victory over Evanston, 43-12. They remained undefeated by rolling over Morton West, 39-13, and Proviso West, 36.14.

SENIOR DAVE AEGERTER was recently named to the Chicago Daily News All‑State football team. This year was Dave's third year on varsity, and he received his third straight letter. Dave also plays first string on the basketball team, and was a regular on Coach Al Carstens' state‑championship baseball team. Dave is noted for his aggressiveness and hard play, and is certainly a "team man." He was The Westerners' first Warrior of the West this year.
