Bob Ste Dick Trumbull VARSITY lt's a toss-up! Then the sound of a whistle, a cheer from the crowd, the sudden stillness of the night wind as it hits one's face while leaving the last game, all this to remind one of the victories and losses that have gone to make up another year of athletic Competition in varsity basketball at Libbey. The marvelous ability, work, and fighting spirit displayed by the boys on the varsity line make them worthy of the Libbey The first two games proved a good start, for the boys trimmed Fremont Ross and Tiffin lunior Qrder 37-30 and l6-8 respectively. Then came the first defeat of the season with our boys bow- ing to a large St. loseph quintet 22-l9 on the latter's floor.

Kenton and Waite then turned up Libbey with 31-l9 and 3l-28 scores. We finally opened up in the city tournament with Delfilbiss, when a hard-fought game brought a victory of one point 27-26 over the Tigers.
