IQ? -sie + 'trttttie'1roi1aoaUtH1i+ gi + as SPEEDBALL VALON HIGH opened its school year of athletics with speedball. This was a new sport for at few of the fellows who went out for it, but they soon got the idea. Al- though our season was a short one, we were well benefited by our experience. The first game was played against ,lohn llewey of Long Beach. In this game the Avalon fellows found ottt that they had lots to learn, which did them more good than if they had won. Th.eir next game was with lidison jr. High team, who were supposed to be the champions of Long lleach. This game was a real thriller, as the score was tied through- out mostof the game. Avalon was able, however, to get in a few more field goals in the last quarter, thus winning the game. As speedball is a major sport in Avalon, we hope to have a near championship team next year. The scores were as follows: Avalon ........................ 16 john Dewey ............ 22 Avalon ........ ...... l 5 Edison ....,.... ....... l 3 The following lineup held for both games: Ends .........................................,............,.......

The thre.e teams, the A, B and C, seemed to have a jinx over them. The A team did not win a game, while the B team won only one. The C team played one game, but they were also defeated, in spite of hard playing. The coach, Mr. Pryor, worked hard every night after school with all the teams, and all the players did theis best, but it was of no avail. llut, with the material Avalon High now has, she should have a very able team for next year, and we are not forgetting that one does not have to be a victor to be a good sport. The lineups for, teams were as follows: Captain ....... Forwards ...... Center ......... Guards ..... 1 Subs ...,..

The games, while they wer- not very exciting, were certainly full of fun. Mr. liTll'IlC9, Neal vVarwIcl: and I-larry Kforicich proved to be the answers to the question: Why are umpires sto unpopular?
