ATHLETICS BASKET BALL Successful as Hart has always been in athletic sports, and always will be, we hope, this year more than ever she has made a partic- ularly good record in basket-ball. Never in the entire history of the High School has a bet- ter, faster or more efficient team been putt out. Fifteen games were played including tour- nament games. Three were lost. The ones in which Hart failed to win were with teams from schools many times the size of Hart. Captain of the team was Cad Spitler. One of the best players for his size and age that has ever been on the local floor, he at all times played a'fast, clean game, fairly sure of his shots and on the average an exceptional for- ward. Chet Mack, right forward, fast and slip- pery as an eel to guard is an all-round favorite, and a veteran of last year's quintet. It 'takes him to drop in the long shot. He is a player to be feared and at the same time, admired. Here's Tex Buchen, tall, broad-shoulder- ed and award-looking, he has fooled many an opponent and won game upon game by his un- excelled guarding and ability to break up op- posing combinations. What will we do with- out him? It will be like losing a pillar from some old Greek temple. Dress needs no introduction. Watch him in action in some game matched with someone twice his size, and you can readily mee why he is so greatly liked by his team-mates and looked to for encouragement in any hard struggle. For a guard he is developing great ability as a basket shooter, and he bids fair lo iaise his record of fame in the future. Big Hackett, Dress's team mate fit guard, is a worthy partner. Leave it to him to break or force his way through any defense that ever existed. The aspect of his features and his actions in a hard game would often give one the impreision that he was in a very high temper. V.'e are rorry to say that at times he is, but it only seems to better his playing and on the whole he is a peaceable, likable fellow, and a player who will be sadly missed. Big Hackett has a little brother, Dutch Hackett, who is fast developing wings as a basket-ball shark. He is the one that won everlasting fame in foot-ball. Stub Fuller, the big blonde Swede from the Golden city, is another one of this winning group. He plays a good game at guard and were it not for his graduating this year, would make a favored candidate for next year. Hart always pulls down a stack of compli- ments about a mile high on the method and quality of her playing. And it is true that among the few teams in the state that hold at record of clean, straight playing, Hart is among the leaders. Much as we will miss the departing :nem- bers of this year's team, we can remember Fxow they did their best for Old Hart High and help- ed to teach others to carry on her glory. Dick Shiun.
