Boys Basketball The boys basketball team, directed by their able coach, Chronic, have furnished some stiff opposition for the other teams of the county. They showed remarkable ability and sportsmanship throughout the entire season. Only three places were to be filled when they began. but they were well filled from the many new players. The team this year. was nearly all seniors and they will be much missed next year. llove. llelong. Elder or Abbott at center did their part to get the tip-off and get the hall in the hands of their team mates. Capt. Trout, Hartman. Dailey and Burrell at forwards rolled up the scores by their baskets. Gorsuch and Nloorhead did splendid work in keeping the ball out of the hands of the opponents. All of this it-am but llelong and Eltler will graduate this year. Their first game of the season was with lVIeComb. whom they easily defeated 5--l--l.

Girls Basketball The record of the Girls' Basketball team is interesting even though it is not entirely successful. Coach Chronic is to- be given much credit for the training which he gave the team. VVe started with the same team of last year with the exception of two subs who graduated and several Freshmen who carrie to join us. All of the girls are to be commended for the fine, clean spirit of sportsmanship which they showed throughout the year. Our girls were able to put up a hard struggle, but. not by rough playing, Although we received some hard humps we never sought to get revenge, but took it willingly. Only two girls will leave this year, both centers Capt. Thomas and Huffman. But their places will be well filled next year. Thomas and Huffman played fine team work in the center and succeeded in making many successful passes. Locey. Abbott and Fisher stopped the ball many times from going in the opponent's basket. Reed, Poe and Lewis showed fine pass work and put many a ball through the basket to roll up our score. Our first game was with lWcComb. Although we were not used to such a large Hoor we beat them l3-5 in a clean, hard fought game. Next we met Arcadia's and the score did her part the Alumni, 19-7. The fast team. This game was very uncertain until the final whistle blew, was 9-7 in our favor. The girls all showed fine playing spirit and each in the rough, hard struggle. During the Christmas vacation we met many of whom we used to play with. XVe easily defeated these girls. next game with Arlington was a complete victory for Van Buren. The visiting team did not get a basket. Their lone point was made by a foul. The score was 21-l. At Vanlue the girls were easily held to a score of 18-4. Next we met the fast Liberty Hi team who carried the victory, not easily won, by a score of 5-2-I-. The Van Buren team easily won over Portage 2-1--5, even though their captain was unable to play with them. Ar Mt. Cory we were defeated 6-8. The team, however, deserves credit for playing a hard game. The score at the half was 6-2 in our favor. Cory's team. however, came up in the last half and won by two baskets. The next game at Rawson was also a defeat for us. They won l8-6, but our spirits did not fall, At the tournament in a hard fought game, we downed Arcadia 4-5, but lost to McComb l3-5, thus we were barred from the finals. VVe went to Mt. Blanchard only to be defeated in a fast game. 7-9. Owing to the fact that our best forward was unable to play. the team was under some handicap. but we made the best of it. The last was the game with North Baltimore, whom we easily defeated, 27-4. Thus we closed our basketball season, which we think has not been altogether a failure. The girls have decided not to elect a permanent captain, but' each week give it to the girl who has faithfully worked the hardest. This will create more interest and we who will not be with them next year surely wish them real success. -FERN TuoMAs Y 'T 4 I 1 ww w re' -2---. . .f .W - Y. l -, -fag - .. . , 4. Thirty
