The first two towns played were considered among the strongest of the season. In these games the following players took part: Lemna, Hepler, Wehrly, Culp, Arnott, Myers, Walters, Stoops, Stuckman and Pippen. The fighting spirit displayed in the beginning was not only strong but increased as the year went on. Although a number of games were lost the team spirit was never dampened, each successive game was enter- ed with the do or die spirit. The determination to win was never downed, no matter how the game was going. THE NEW PARIS GAME The game was pretty and full of spirit. It was the opening game of the season of 1924. Enthusiasm and pep were shown. The boys played splendidly. The game opened with a bang. Every player was ready, and raring to go. New Paris was one of the strongest teams of the county, but what was that to the Nappanee iboys. The motto was The stronger the better. At the last call of the whistle Nappanee was found to be on top. The score was: New Panis 165 Nappanee 18. Line up, and number of points: Hepler ..............................

LAKEVILLE The team had been defeated for a number of games and they were tired of having the little end of the score, so they decided to turn the tide in the game with Lakeville. When the night came the house was packed and everybody, including the team, was full of pep. The fellows started off like a whirl wind and there was but one time during the game that they were not fin the lead three or four points.
