BASKETBALL RESUME Next we traveled to Hartsville to lose in the final seconds of the game by a score of 45 to 43. Patterson scored twenty-four points which was the highest score for her during the season in any game. We were determined to win over Carthage when they came to town, despite the fact that our Captain was unable to play due to sickness. This we did. Forwards and guards came through with an outstanding piece of work, the final score being 32 to 28. Our return game with Mt. Juliet was the thriller of the season since both teams played a hard fought game staying within a few points of each other throughout the game. We came home victorious with a score of 37 to 35. Since “The Purple Tiger” goes to the publishers before the season is over a complete resume cannot be given. There are two g ames left in the season and the tournament. For an inexperienced team this has been a rather successful season. Much should be heard of Mr. Turney and his Tigerettes next year since all of the first team will return next season.

BASKETBALL RESUME The Purple Tigers began a rather eventful season when the highly favored York Institute came to town winning 57 to 31. Our first scheduled game of the season was with the Lebanon Blue Devils at home. This was a thrilling game as each team played hard to win. We were leading 13 to 8 at the half but lost in the last few minutes of t he game by 23 to 22. Ownby was high point man. On our journey to Carthage, the Owls proved too strong for us. It was their game from the beginning as they led all the way. We lost 58 to 31, Wright and Eaton sharing scoring honors. The Tigers third game proved to be a bitter defeat as Hartsville won by 29 to 19 on our home court. After traveling a long distance to Portland we scored our first victory of the season. This was a hard fought game from the first. The score was in our favor 28 to 20. This victory gave the Tigers renewed confidence which was not enough to stop Liberty for they won an easy win over us—60 to 24 in their favor. Next we met the undefeated Green Waves on their court. We were defeated 58 tOgAi
