THE CHERADO-1924 Boys' Basketball 1923-1924 With the enthusiasm manifested by the boys, Cheraw had a fav- orable outlook for the coming season. About sixteen boys were out for the first practice. The four letter men from last year were Ray Preston, Vannus Basinger, Earl Kauffman and Marshall Pitney. The spirits ran high, those who failed to make the first team yet remained loyal to the school. The line up for the first team was as follows: FORWARDS Vannus Basinger fHorseshoeJ-He has all kinds of luck. Ralph Condor fCornfedJ-It is believed he has springs in his heels CENTER Ray Preston CCaptainJ fGosh darnlj-Slow to start, but Oh, how mighty! GUARDS Francis Tillotson tRuntJ-He dodges, he trots, but he makes them just the same. Marshall Pitney fPluckyJ-Few can dodge him. Substitutes-Elvin Reeder, Earl Kauffman, Marvin Wade, Milan Basinger and Allen Moore. LEAGUE SCHEDULE lst game at Rocky Ford ............

Cheraw 29 -Las Animas .... 13 Although this team failed to Win the pennant, they came out a close second, making a decisive improvement over last year. Last year we only received fourth place in our division of the League, but this year we won second, and are working for first next year. As our motto is Excelsior, and only losing the three players, Ray Pres- ton, Ralph Conder and Marshall Pitney, we should be successful in capturing the pennant next year. A great deal of our first team's success this year is due to the second team. They came out to practice just as often, and played just as hard in practice as did the men of the first team. Helping a great deal in making the first team what it was. They got no letter, little honor, but, they do get a lot of hard bumps, and hard work. So remember the second team for what they have done to hold up the standard of C. H. S. Too much credit cannot be given Mr. Jans for his untiring efforts to put out a winning team. He was always at practice, doing his best. Only through him were We able to accomplish what we did.
