LEN TOWNSHIP CENTRALIZED SCHOOL-19 Girls Basketball URRAH for the girls, They won the county championship by defeating Liberty in a fast game in the tournament finals. Coach Chronic deserves unlimited credit for their showing this year because he started the season with only three girls who had letters from last year. Mr. Chronic developed his winners from some twenty candidates all of whom were willing to learn and fight- He has coached many good teams and worked with many players but he observes that some of this ye'ar's talent is the best that he has ever produced. Captain Dove, Huffman and Abbott are all good shots and play nice offensive hall. Thomas, Poe, DeRodes and Reed change off at center of the floor and do some real pass work. Fisher, Locey and Burrell form a strong defensive combination which would be hard to beat. Outside of Burrell and DeRodes, who graduate this year, the remainder of the team are new at the game and will represent A. T. H. S- another season at least. The girls showed remarkable ability in defeating Hoytville and North Baltimore but lost a hard game to the local Alumni. They easily defeated Mt. Cory but didn't pull together and fell to defeat before both Rawson and Liberty- Arlingt0H was easily defeated and North Baltimore was outclassed in a 2-2 game. Liberty again defeated the girls on the home floor, but in the tournament, after defeating Arcadia, our girls easily won from their old rivals and put V. B. to the front. Arlington was next defeated but Rawson staged a come-'back 12-3. Their first game with Arcadia was a victory while the last ended a tie, To finish the season our girls defeated Findlay's Firsts in one of the hardest games of the year. VVe must not omit to here make note of the pleasures we enjoyed during the workouts and the good times we had on the truck going and coming from games. To close their victorious season the girls elected Miss Fern Thomas as their iiext year's leader. VVe are sure they will accomplish great things under her leader- ship. and we hppe them the very best of success. -By LESTER ENSIGN. 4- --A-e--11 f e -e -ee A - A f ee - -A e- -if Thirty One 1
