BASKETBALL, 1916-1917 The twenty-ninth of March closed up the local high school’s basketball season. This sport has had a somewhat lean year both from the viewpoint of the scorekeeper and that of the treasurer. It is admitted that this year’s team has not the record held by last year’s team which lost but three games during the season, but when you consider the difference in weight and experience, and the fact that opposing teams were just as strong as before, the difference in records is not so apparent. The falling off in crow'ds was prob- ably due to loss of interest, since basketball is no longer a new thing for this village. The team is to be congratulated on their fighting spirit show’n throughout the year, for no matter how big the odds, they went into the game and never gave up until the referee’s whistle sounded “time up.” The best game they played was against Arthur Hill Reserves, and the most surprising one, as far as the score is con- cerned, was that against Merrill (23 to 1).
