Ilj wmg Q ' X III THE RAMBLER, 1926 III 4 r Le a-r i E I Q....Y iiiiitva? Mr f K A .dll i GIRLS' BASKET BALL After about two weeks coaching under Coach Overcash, the girls began to hit their old time form. This was shown in their third game of the season, which was with the strong team of Clarksville. The white and gold co-eds, by their team work, good shooting, and excellent guarding, were able to be victors by the score of 7.4 to zo. It was said by those who saw the game to have been one of the best, and fastest girls' game that they ever saw. The lasses added another to their victories by defeating the strong team from Central High of Nashville by the score of 2.5-zo. This was considered the best girls' basketball game ever witnessed in Springfield. The girls showed speed and good form, and the game was enjoyed by every one. Other victories of the co-eds were those captured from Franklin, Kentucky, Gallatin, Goodlettsville, and Clarksville. On February 7.5, the girls went to Peabody to take part in the Little Tennessee Tournament. Their game was the first played, and although they were defeated, it was a good game. A consolation tournament was held for the four teams eliminated in their first game. lt was in the first game of the consolation that the Springfieldians showed their real ability as basketball players, by defeating Goodlettsville 40-30. It was in this game that all the team played theirstellar game. Theforwards,LouiseDowlen and Mary Kirk, played very good, especially Louise who was able to register 18 points to her credit. She always played well, and being a good goal shot was able in every game to cage several baskets. The center, Mayre Brandon, played an excellent game at her position, working the floor in fine style, and caging zo points. Mayre's playing at the tournament was liked so well by the coaches of the different schools that she was named among the three centers from which one would have been choosen, had an all-tournament team been selected. The guards, Emma Dee Dillon and Mary Sue Glover, played in their regular form. Emma Dee was spoken of by newspaper reporters as a stone wall on the defense. She was equally as good on offense, always in the play and most always came out with the ball. This year was Mary Sue's first year of basketball, but she played well, and is banked on as being a star next year. By defeating Clarksville in a third game of the tournament, the white and gold five were winners of the consolation throphy. Dillon, Brandon, and Dowlen graduate this year, and are expected to make the college team wherever they go. Page seventy-four

BASE BALL The Springfield High School baseball team has been a surprise to the fans of the town this year, and has been quite a credit to the school. At the first of the season no one was expecting the school to have a team worth seeing play, as there were only about four reported who had ever played regular baseball. This was all a mistake, as anyone will say who has seen a game. There has been found in some of the boys real baseball ability, which if developed will carry them to professional baseball. Although we have lost several games, each one has been a real good game, better than some of the scores indicated. Our twirler Nut Cole, has pitched every game that we have played, with the exception of a few innings. This is his first year in the mound, and he has shown up very well. It can be seen that he has a real knack for pitching. He not only is a good pitcher but is one of the surest hitters on the team. Horse Eye Coles, who holds the position behind the plate, is one of the smoothest working little catchers that has ever been seen on a high school team. He is always on the job and very few are able to steal on him. Fisty Marshall, the old first sacker is fielding good and hitting hard. He as already, this early in the season, gotten two home runs and several two and three base hits. Vick True who holds the second base position is fielding in good form, and is doped to be an important infield man with a little more experience. At the short position, the old reliable Trapper Stark is playing Big League baseball. He is also able to fill the position on the mound, whenever necessary. At third DeBerry has played in fine style. A faster and more efhcient third sacker could not be found. In the outfield, there are Bell, Carter, Dowlen, Williams and Lawrence, between whom there is very little distinction, as to their playing ability, all being good fielders and able to swat the old pill all over the lot. Although the team has lost half of the games played, the boys are expecting to redeem themselves in the last two games to be played with Hartsville and Clarksville. Page .reventy-.fix
