k i- J iy J;i;iMj?=i BASKET BALL REVIEW 1913 Shortly after the beginnini; of the winter term, Miss Eyre, Girls ' llasket Ball Coach, issued a call for candidates. With only three of last year ' s regulars, Ethel Kowes, Jane Ray and ' irginia Seanor, two other stars had to be developed to work in unison with the rest of the team. Judging from the scores made, the feat has been accomplished. The first game of the season was played on January 13th with W ' ilkinsburg High School. N ' early all the I. S. N. candidates were giv- en a trial in this game. Margaret I ' l egal was the point getter, making nine baskets. Kthcl Howes, Ruth Greasley and Jane Ray also starred The fmal score was 35-3. On January 24th Geneva College played at Indiana and was le- feated by the score of 20-7. Klairsvillc High contested with our team on February 11th. The foul shooting and foot work of I. .S. X. S. com- pletely bewildered Klairsvillc. At the end of the game the score was 24-3 in our favor. Kor the home team Ray and I ' legal starred. I. S. . S. jilayed Geneva College at Heaver Falls March Isl. This was a closely contested game but the home team, being the strong- er one, soon showed that it was capable of taking and maintaining th ' j lead. It was a difficult task to say who stai ' red in this game, as all the players were at their best. .Score Il)-7. March 3rd our team met W ' ilkinsburg High at ' ilkinsburg. and again proved themselves superior to that team, winning the game by a score of 27-11. Ray and Flegal shot well in this encounter, while Greas- ley at center, and .Seanor and liowes at guard were there to break u| the plays. The important game of the season was played at Indiana on March Sth with Pittsburgh High. In this game I. S. N. S. again re- claimed tlic championship of Western Pennsylvania, by a score of 19-13. This was undoubtedly the hardest game, and one in which the home team showed the excellent coaching of Miss Eyre. . s usual Ray and Flegal played a splendid game at forward, Greasley and Clovis displayed fine passing while Howes and Seanor, the old standbys, played a star game at guard. I. S. X. S. played at .Alliance, Ohio, March 14th, It was a hard contest, . lliance took the lead early in the game. In the second half the home team put up a hard fight, especially in the latter part, but it was useless as Alliance won the game by the score of 16-S. but we haci not lost the game ' ithout a struggle. The last game of the season w ' as played with Blairsville on March 24th on the latter ' s floor. It proved to be cure of the roughest and hardest fought games of the year liut Xormal carried off the honors by a score of 9-. . This year ' s team has won the highest place among the teams of Western Pennsylvania and it remains for the on-coming teams to re- tain it. 20C

Many of our young, hriglit, slender-fingered, brilliant chaps do not wish to indulge in such brutal, rough, and ungcnteel games as foot ball, boxing and Ijaseball, but confine their extraordinary talent to the lighter aiul more scientific element, as lawn-tennis, checkers, winK, siiin-thc-pan. kiss-the-pillow, pussy-in-the-corncr. button-button who ' s got the button, and tiddlewinks. The last named has made an especial- ly classy showing within the past few years at Normal. The young nimrods who indulge in this particular precarious sport hold sessions from time to time, giving exhibitions of their agility and speed; and ( apt. Donnelly reports that his strenuous efforts in .getting his men in shape have well-nigh been crowned with success and the work has been highly j raised by the people before whom they have given exhibitions and made their debut. t)ne thing which has proved a drawback to the captain is lb.- fact that several of the men had severe colds from over-training and I ' eclor fractured his finger in an excited four-handed match. King Brady, will, in all probability, win his numerals, as he has shown some of the sharpest and best form of the team. He is one of the cleverest and most adept players, .• lfred Quinette is also mentioned as having played in some successful matches; so, with this lively bunch of shooters, there is no reason that the students at Indiana should not turn out and cheer the boys on to victory. Capt. Donnelly and (?hief ( borister Fennell wish to make an earnest apfjeal to the entire student body to witness these snappy contests and assure them that their team will easily cop the championship again this season and bring the coveted tea cup back to Indiana. As the . nnual goes to press the team has filled successful engage- ments at Homer City. Rlack l.ick, Clymer, Boot Jack, Portage and Seal)) Level. This team sureK ' has our sincere wishes for a prosperous season. a I 203
