ended in a tie between Georges and Point Marion, each having won five games and lost one. The deciding game between the two schools was played at Redstone on Tuesday evening, March 20. Georges made a miser- able showing in the test game and their opponents romped away with a 30-17 victory. Five games were played outside of the league. Two with German Town- ship, two with South Union, and one with Redstone. The Redstone game was very disastrous for Georges Township. Several reasons might be given in support of the pitiable exhibition of basketball played by Georges in that game, but the most impressive feature was the one-sided score of 63-23 in favor of Redstone. The German Township games were both exciting and fast, and a good brand of basketball was played by both sides. Each school won their home game. South Union put up the least resistance of any of the outside teams and Georges won both games by a comfortable margin. Although the season closed with the discouraging Redstone defeat, Georges as a whole feels that the season was a very successful one, and the following summary certainly justifies their conclusion : A Date Opponent Where Played.

Athletics The Athletic Sun of Georges rises and sets in Basketball. The reason that this minor sport occupies the limelight here is because the pursuance of the Major Sport of Football and Baseball is made difficult by certain local conditions which time and the concerted efforts by the School will be needed to overcome. Incidentally football made some little progress this year but lack of equipment and lukewarm support by the students soon caused it to be abandoned. Baseball was attempted last year on a small scale. One game was played with North Union which resulted in a score of 7-3 in favor of the visiting team. The outlook for the coming season in this sport is not very promising, and it would not be surprising to find that Georges will find herself without a representative on the diamond. Basketball this year has been of added interest on account of the formation of an inter-scholastic League consisting of practically all the High Schools in Fayette county. The league oflicials classified the schools into groups and drew up a schedule of the games to be played among the members of each group with the understanding that the members of each section or group would be matched in an elimination series to determine the league champion. Georges is a member of the group consisting of Point Marion, Smithfield, and Fairchance. The following men represented the school in basketball : Montgom- ery, captain and centerg Sibert, forwardg Tippen, forwardg Swaney, for- wardg Redmond, guard 5 Conn, guardg Matthews. utility player. Too much credit cannot be given to the boys for the creditable showing that they have made, especially when they have been handicapped by a small floor and by an insufficient number of practice sessions. The opening game was played with Point Marion on the latter's floor. The Georges players seemed to be confused and lost on the smooth and unusually large floor. The result wasfan easy victory for Point Marion, the game ending 40-20 in their favor. Nevertheless the boys were not dis- heartened and returned to school with a firm determination to remove the stigma of that defeat. It was with this attitude that they went into the remainder of their league games and completed their schedule without another defeat. This string of victories included a return game with Point Marion, which Georges easily won by the score of 33-26. Thus the season 74
