THE GIRLS' 1922 BASKETBALL SEASON The most spectacular girls basket ball season M. H. S. had in recent years ended with the Oran-ge and Black on the winning side of eight out of twelve games. The girls this year truly came into their own in the field of athletics, thus proving the presence of splendid material which will next year demand even greater consideration. The beginning of the season saw the girls start off under the greatest handi- caps. With a new coach, and mostly new men, the prospects did not look ,bright for the beginners. But the sea- son was one of many surprises and the dope bucket was spilled very inconven- iently for a large majority of our op- ponents. When Coach Patterson made her call for candidates at the first of the season between forty and fifty girls re- sponded. After several try-outs this number was with difficulty reduced to a squad of fifteen, which number was retained throughout the entire season. With a few exceptions the material was entirely new and it has taken many hours of hard work to develop the first class team which represented M. H. S. this year. A The season was ushered in by a 19-O victory over the Alumnae. Shadyside next bowed to our lassies to the tune of 31-11. Littleton, with a strong team of several years experience, prov- ed too much for us. However, the lo- cals held them to the smallest score of the season, 16-7. The Martins Ferry game on our floor was a walk away vic- tory for us of 22-8. Our return game with them on the Ohio floor was played under the handicap of a new referee and the six-girl team with Ohio's strict guarding rules. Never-the-less they were held to a game of no field goals the score being 18-15. The two games with the fast Sistersville team both proved victories for our girls, lt was at this point that our natty new uniforms appeared, Hundred and M. H. S. split even, each winning a game apiece. Seven players and the coach jour- neyed to Spencer to the girl's state tournament which was held March 9-11. We were unlucky, however, in being drawn to play in the second game of the opening session with the undefeat- ed Bluefield team, runners-up of both last year's and this year's tournaments. At the end of the first half the score stood 5-5, In the second half we lost can fouls which were called exceedingly close. Although the final score was 16-9 it was considered a freak game as our opponents were held to no field goals, making all their points on fouls. The only field goal of the entire game was made by Moore of M. H. S. Freshman: They 're calling C--D a glass blower now, Soph: How's that? Freshman: Always boasting of her diamonds. Baldy Harlan: Did you ever notice that red-headed women always marry meek men? Joe Shelton: Oh, no, the men get that way.

S. this year and also his best. He has been the most consistent scorer for his team throughout the season and eompleted his fourth year on the varsity this spring. Bill's shoes will be hard to till and it will be a long time before another man will be found to take his plaee on the basketball court. GLENN HAMILTON- t'Ham jumped center for the team this year, and most of his opponents thought he had springs in his shoes. An accurate shot and g'ood tloor man, he has proved to be one of the main- stays ot the team. Ham also is a Junior this year. It A YM OND BARNETTE- Barney played his last game of basketball this year for Moundsville Iligh, and has proved to he one of the best guards ever turned out by BI. Il. S. lIe is a three year man. EDMUND ECHOLS- . Speed also graduates this year and M. H. S. loses another guard of sterling worth. He has played a stel- lar and eonsistent game for the Orange and Black and altho this Was his first regular year on the varsity, he has eer- tainly made good, WALTER PURDY- t'Bud alternated with Hamilton on eenter this year and proved his worth by getting into the majority of the varsity games. This has been his first year on the team and he should greatly strengthen next year's team. The Sophs claim Bud WILLIAM REED- BiIl was one of the surprises of the season.
