BOYS' SPORTS BASKETBALL-The 1934-1935 basketball squad enjoyed the most successful season in the history of the school. They won a large percentage of their games and capped this off by bringing the city championship to Washing- ton. In the season opener, Emrich dropped one in the last few seconds to beat Moresville, 31-30. Southport, in midseason form, took the next start, 16-14. Traveling to Danville, Dietz led the Continentals to a 24-17 victory. Plainfield won the following night, 26-17. However, the Jonesboys won their next four tilts, taking Broad Ripple 30-21, Beech Grove, 34-28, Bain- bridge, 26-24, and Crawfordsville, 19-15. The next week-end was the city tourney. Using subs for most of the game, they defeat- ed Broad Ripple, 28-14. In the final game, Shortridge was outclassed, 36-24. The team was still excited over the city championship and was nosed out by Ben Davis, 24-23. They again hit their stride, however, and took in tow Manual, 27-21, and Greenfield, 37-28. Three points were all that kept the J onesboys from defeating the unbeaten Nobles- ville team, as they were edged out, 21-19. Handicapped by injuries, Washington was still able to take Peru, 27-23, Cathedral, 21-20, and Brownsburg, 32-25, before losing the last game to Alexandria, 14-27. Hooser led the team in scoring with 143 points. Hooser, Dietz, Sartor, Emrich, Macy, Lasley, Copeland, and Kasnak won major let- ters, and Melvin, Clark, Noe, and Hine won minor letters. The B squad also had an ex- cellent season, being runner-up to Tech in the city tourney. The following statistics include sixteen regu- lar scheduled games and two city tourney con- tests: the varsity made a total of 461 points while their opponents made 412 points. The average points per game for the A team was 25.61, and the average of points for the opponents was 22.88. The team won 13 games and lost five, making a percentage of .722. The reserve team made a total of 451 points and their opponents 350 points. The average of points per game for the B team was 24.05 while the average of points for their opponents was 19.44. The reserves won 13 games and lost 5, making a percentage of .7222. FOOTBALL-Although this year's record in football was not an impressive one, the squad displayed the same fighting spirit which has always characterized the team of George Wash- ington high school. Even when they were los- ing, and the game was nearly over, they didn't stop, but continued to put out their best. Until this year the Continentals have been one of the prominent teams of the state. When this year's schedule was drawn, on it were placed teams of high caliber, worthy of giving competition to schools of the highest class in the state. It can easily be seen that if average competition had been met, the result would have been different. When viewed from this angle, the record made by the gridders takes on a new aspect. Opp. Wash.

Despite the fact that bad weather handicapped them at the first of the season, and that the squad was composed mainly of underclassman or inexperienced seniors, they established an enviable record. seventeen
