It had that peculiar kind of spirit, that does not allow' a team to experience utter defeat. Many games were won in the closing moments of the contest, which shows the fighting spirit that predominates in all of Creston's teams, The linefup of the team of 1927 is as follows: L.

Prospects for a good team seemed poor at the beginning of the year with but one veteran returning from the 1926127 Championship aggregation. The team improved with each game, however, due to the hard -work of the members and Coach Van Wingen. Basketball critics did not concede Creston as a titular possibility nor expect it to more than break even in the games won and lost. To the surprise of all, it won seven out of ten city games, and was in the running for the Championship until the loss of Captain West. Every team in the city feared Creston this year because of heir indomitable fighting spirit. The City title was not won, but something else was won and that was the courage to fight till the end when Creston entered Class A this year for the first time. The team r-eached the second round but was defeated by Central, the City Champions. In victory or defeat, we may say that we are proud of the team of 192'7f28 for what it accomplished and the spirit it upheld. The linefup for the season is as follows: R.
