V C7119 FLASHLIGHT ofa 1 9429 if BASKETBALL Al the lwginningr of the season tht- outlook for the Eagle basket- lrall looked yery unfayorahle. as only one letter man was hack to report for duty. It was up to 1-oavhes Powell and Rattan to build a team out of the new material they had on hand. The lfagles played three pravtiu- garnes heforv they started on their Class A svhedule. 'lille first Class :X game was played on tht- home 1-ourt with Eastland. The Maw-rieks showed real hasketluall almility. hut the Eagles defeated them 31-l9 and 28-ll. The Eagles added Iwo more vit-tories to their list when they defeated Hanger twice in sue- vession. the svores of these two games lreing 33-T and 12-1 l. The week following: they won an easy tif.-tory over Merkel. The Breck- enridge Buekaroos next invaded the Eagle territory only to he defeated hy the st-ore of 2l-lo. The standing of the A. H. 5. team was steadily on the ineline. The following week the Eagles took an easy vit-tory from Denton. 35-IQ. With Dame lfortune smiling on them. they forged ahead and defeated Colorado. Big Spring and Goree to win the district title and then faced their annual clash with Cisco. in which they were defeated. the first game by the seore of l6-20 and the set-ond game l6-35. Thus the season of '28 closed with the Eagles again claiming the district title. A. H. S. is proud of the basketball team and think there is none hetter in the slate. The lfagles fought a hard clean lvattle against untimely odds. and another year should find them still higher in the rfllzunpionship rat-v.

One Hu dred Twent, V C7119 FLASHLIGHT M0199 v BOYS TENNIS Under the eflicient training of Coach Fatherree. Abilene High School placed a winning team in the field during the 1929 season. Coach Fatherree has been one of the leaders in making tennis a major sport. and it was mainly through his efforts that this sport has thus far advanced. Playing three schedule meets. the Eagle Tennis Club, com- posed of Leo Brady. Jim Carter, Lynn Kincaid, and Herschel Vaughan. won all of them. Victories were won from Sweetwater, Eastland, and Cisco: and the prospect looks bright for a District Championship and possibly a State Championship in tennis this year. The doubles team was composed of Jim Carter and Lynn Kin- caid. Leo Brady played singles, and Herschel Vaughan was the alternate. Although Herschel did not get to represent his high school in the district, he deserves much credit for his splendid efforts in behalf of the team and the school. BOYS RACQUET CLUB scene.. Ecu 5059
