Gray handed their thirteenth contest to Decatur's Catho- lic Commodores, but revived in time to bottle up Arcola's Aces, 33-20, even- ing the records with seven victories and seven defeats. The tourney iinx again influenced the draw of the Allen County Basketball Tourna- ment, and Elmhurst l lost a disheartening skirmish, 23.32, to i New Haven, the l 9 3 9 C o u n t y Champs, in the opening game cf the tourney. Evi dently the boys df-- cided to becomi- consistent, for the lost their next four scheduled engage- ments. They battlei fiercely with Leos Lions in the latterkz' den but bowed out weakly in the last quarter to lose 3? 41.

TIME OUT second time tc, Hoagland Z3-36 and continuing their losing streak by dropping their nex' game to Woodburn Warriors 28-31, the ill-fated Troians staged a determined attack to conquer Harlan 3l-27 and finish their schedule with a decisive victory. Sniders Trojans opened their bid for Sectional honors by turning back Monmouth 37-27, but lost their second round contest to Hoagland in an exciting overtime battle 28-30 bringing the 1938-39 basketball season to a close. Despite their mediocre statistical records, which cannot really measure the success or failure of a team, this years Fighting Troians can look back on their l939 basketball conquest with pride. Starting practice with three seniors and a new coach, the squad developed slowly into a courageous, fighting machine, which demanded careful consideration from all opposing teams. To be lost, but not forgotten, are the three seniors, Bob Belschner, Harold Richardson, and Ernest Bailey: but returning are such capable members as Fusselman, Foulks, Link, the Sheets brothers, Millhouse, and Capin, who, under the tutelage of Snider, assure the success of the l94O Trojans.
