I.Y M AN SI MI’S ON Sim throughout the season played a great game. During the first of the season he played the left guard position hut hie ability f drop 'em in” gave him his later position at right forward, where he certainly made good. CLYDE SCHILHANECK Tlnney, the fast, elusive little forward, with the knack of lo: ing his man and his accuracy in basket shooting, was a large factor in the success of the team this year, and he will be much missed on next year’s team. ELDON SIMPSON Sim is all over the floor at once, guarding his own man and all the others, and making baskets between times when they arc most needed. Although light for center he has held his own against his heavier opponents. parson McMillan Ki played a close, scrappy game at guard, but the lack cf experience kept him on the sub list. He could always be depended upon to be out to practice, and he will add much to next year's team. . MACK AND IUTHUN Chet and Texas” did not make the first team and so were kept on the sub list, but when put Into a game they showed good ability for Basket Dali and will help to make a team to be feared. FRANK ItlKRE Jawn’s guarding and floor work would rival any that has ever been exhibited on the local floor for a long time. He played a close, rc.appy game and many a game he has held his man down to no baskets. THE SCURFS Date H. H. S.

But by the faithful work of Coach Savage and the co-operation of the boys. Hart put forth one of the fastest teams in the High School’s history. The first game was played with the Alumni, Jan. 3. The absence of two of the players, out on account of sickness, and the sub’s lack of experience, proved fatal to Hart. They were defeated 37-17. A week later Hart played the same fellows but they were under the name of “The All Stars.” This time, with all of the players back, Hart made a different showing and easily defeated them 40-15. Jan. 17. the load team played their first out of town game. After a twenty-eight mile sleigh ride, they defeated Hesperia 49-21. On Jan. 24 the Basket Ball fans were given the best treat in years, when the local quintette met Grand Rapids Central here. The game started with a rush and continued so through-out. It was hard to tell which team was in the lead during the game, for one would be ahead and then the other. At the end of the first half the score was 13-12, favoring the visitors. The last half was hard played, but on account of poor passing and lack of luck in basket shooting Grand Rapids got the lead in the last few minutes and the game ended 25-19, in their favor. A very large crowd witnessed the game and the rooters gave the team splendid support. The following week the boys journeyed to the Furniture City and were defeated by a large margin. The next week the team defeated Hesperia. On Feb. 14, Hart defeated their old rivals, Fremont, here, 49-24. This is the third time on record that Hal t has defeated Fremont. Two weeks later the local basket tossers beat a team composed of men back from the army, who thought themselves invincible. On March 5, Hart defeated Pentwater. Then a week later Hart defeated them again on the home floor. On March 14, the local team went to Fremont to play the last game scheduled for this season. It was a hard Page thirty two
