BASKETBALL yciHE 1930-31 cage season was not altogether successful this year, as reports will I n show. The Bexley team won only four out of thirteen starts, hut the fact that the home five lost three games by the narrow margin of one goal should offer some consolation to Bexley rooters. Wayne Ketner, honorary captain, performed nicely throughout the season at forward. Sam Lytle gave a good account of himself at the guard position. Stark and Eckley traded the jumping position throughout the season, and both turned in favorable work. Hugh Bone and Tom Leahy presented good performances at the guard positions, while Hardwick played forward well for a first year man. Cavey, Kauffman, and Russell were quite acceptable as substitutes. The three regulars hack from last year’s team were Bone, Ketner, and Lytle. These three formed the nucleus of the 1931 squad. The Bexley team piled up the following record: Bexley, 10; Grove City, 17. Bexley, 16; Westerville, 18. Bexley, 20; Fairmont, 31. Bexley, 16; Grandview, 42. Bexley, 11; Urbana, 18.
