The team work, basket shooting, and floor work of our girls kept their opponents on a fast jump. Some of their victims were Berea, Andrews Institute, and the East Shore Community Club. The teams that defeated them were Bedford, Shaker Heights, and Euclid Central. Captain Smith piloted her team with the greatest care. She completed her duty by working along with Nan Colquhoun in piling up the score. Katherine Dowd, our faithful manager, proved to be also a faithful forward. Margaret Clymer, our powerful jumping center, and Priscilla Easterling, her side partner, kept the ball moving in their zone. Margaret Clark, Alma Harwood, Margaret Gill, and Lucy Mathews made up the guarding crew which proved to be very strong, owing to the fact that our opponents had a running score of 116 while Shore tallied 164 points. The bright spots will turn into a shining sun next year. The only ones to leave the squad will be Margaret Clymer and Katherine Dowd. The timber of this year's squad will undoubtedly be the manufactured product of '27. [ 14]

BASKETBALL REVIEW Now that we have a perspective on the 1926 basketball season we can see how Shore came out in the race. The team worked well as a whole, but at times the shooting was erratic. We all hope for a better season next year. The only member of this year's squad who will graduate is John Luikart. Opening the season of the conference games with only one letterman and a stage-frightened team, Shore met their first defeat by Shaker Heights. The next two teams in line were West Commerce and Longwood. The Shore basketeers were on their toes and victory proved an easy matter in both cases. Euclid, our next opponent, gave our boys a heart breaker by defeating them for the first time in four years in a non-conference game. Then the Rocky River leather tossers tossed baskets until they made a decisive victory over the Shore quintet. Euclid's powerful team then came over on our floor for a conference game and the Green and White steam roller tried to take revenge but after hard fighting the brave players lost the game by a few points. The last team that our boys played was John Marshall. Both teams had started the season with a defeat. So a fast excit- ing game was witnessed by Shorites and the boys brought home their third victory. Captain Bestgen deserves a great deal of credit for the fine display of basket- ball that spectators witnessed. Bob Jennings, our star forward, played a hard game all through the season and had some real scoring records, while Gene Fryan and Watty Watkins fought hard to keep up the team work. John Luikart and Gene Borberly showed Coach Van Deusen that they were both able to get the jump at (Continued on page 39) [13]
