Revue 1946 - Linton Public Library

Every year the Junior Chamber of Com­
merce of Linton presents a trophy to a
member of the basketball and football
teams. This trophy is awarded on the
basis of sportsmanlike conduct, attitude,
lE:adership, and character.
These awards were won this year by Bob
Keller in football and Tom Dudley in
basketball.
Gold footballs and gold basketballs were
also presented to the Senior lettermen in
both football and basketball.
ROY WILLIAMS has been our head football coach for the past five years. In that length
of time his t eams have made an admirable record. In his second year here, in 1942, his team
won the Wabash Valley championship; and again this year, after developing talent for
the last two years, he brought his boys home in front in the Southern Indiana Athletic
Conference race. Mr. Williams' years at Linton High have truly been worthy ones. Besides
coaching the football team, he has helped develop Linton's track until it is now one
of the finest in the state, and he is very much interested in the betterment of our schoo!.
He is well liked and admired by all students and ranks highest in the minds of his players.

REV. R. B. BALDRIDGE has been of great assistance to Coach Williams during the past
few years in helping our boys on the football team. He is a familial' figure to the students
and has shown profound interest in the school by taking part in many of its activities.

COACH GARLAND LADSON: Garland Ladson has been basketball coach at Linton High
for five years. In those five years his teams have won five Wabash Valley preliminaries,
foul' state sectionals, one Wabash Valley championship, one state regional. In addition
to this his 1944-45 team won the first West Central Conference championship. These
many victories constitute truly a remarkable record. Mr. Ladson is very popular with
the student body who feels that he is probably the finest basketball coach in this part
of the country.

vvorked from the ground up and now has a squad of boys who should go places on the
