is.. t E 1'10llSPIl1flI1 Field The other city games were big affairs of course. The South team found the going hard in the Hrst game. 21-19. and just as tough in the second. They did manage to crack us open. however. by a 20-15 count. In each case the game depended on the last few minutes and seconds of play. but in each case the points were made through the Central hoops. instead of by the Central players. The Union game brought joy to the hearts of the Hilltoppers. for Central proved just three times better than Union. as the score revealed. The game went in spurts of scoring. ending 31-12. Th Battle Creek aggregation was considered a pretty good team. and showed their worth. winning 2-1-15. Although Central had a big lead at the half. they were not able to continue it to the end. It is dilhcult to pick the best and most interesting game in such a field of close and hard-fought contests, but perhaps the most satisfying from all standpoints was the game on March the sixth with Lansing. All the elements of a great game were there. and the Central team was in great form. Largely through the efforts of Lyon in the last few minutes of play. the Hilltoppers came out ahead in the very last seconds of play by just one point margin. 20-19. The second team also had a better season in basketball than in football. winning some very important games from strong second teams in the city and state. Scores of the second team are: tC-Central!

.AA,, . A- A The Gym Resume of Season HE basketball season was noted for the great number of very close and interesi- ing games whimh made up the schedule. Greenville furnished a good send-off for the gold and white. by losing 31-18. The newly launched ship ran into a snag in the second game however. when Creston nearly wrecked the ship of state of our noble school. In overtime play the result went to us however. by the close score of 21-18. But we wereift so fortunate in the second game with Creston. for in our gym they managed to get just two more points than we. to give them a 22-20 win. Basketball teams at Kalamazoo seem to be pretty high class most of the time. and this year was no exception. Vive had three games with their teams. and were only lucky in one. Central beat us both times. The flrst game here was a corker in excite- ment and fast play. .again being a one-point margin game. The next wasnit quite so close. but nevertheless it was close enough. 32-27. Normal High was beaten though by a comfortable margin of 7 points. making up for the other defeats to some extent. Both games with Catholic Central were placed on the right side of the ledger by big scores. giving the reserves some action: but unfortunately they were balanced on the other side by two games with Muskegon, both won by the lakeside town by extremely close scores. The first one ended 32-22. but Central almost got away with the second., losing by only three points. 22-19. Capt. Jim Lyon George Bartholn- George R4-seberry Ge: rue Suttin One Hundred Twelve
