In fact the success of the season was demonstrated by a total score of 482 points to their opponents' 322. The boys suffered only four defeats in fifteen games. In the first game with Grand River Institute the Andover boys took the lead early in the game but lost control as G. R. I. forged ahead. A comeback was staged but too late. The next game of importance was with the M. E. Church team from Con- neaut. Conneaut scored first and at the half were in the lead 11-8. In the last half that everlasting never-failing fighting spirit came back and the boys came out on top 19-14. The next game of importance was the first of the County-league games with Dorset. The boys shook the Friday the 13th jinx and came out with no less than a 22-6 victory. The first of the County- league teams to invade our floor was the Orwell cagers. The Orwell boys had fond hopes of humbling the Andover quintet but. well you know the fighting spirit. Andover marked up another victory 42-30. The next big game, the best of the season, was excit- ing and those fans who journeyed to Grand River Institute will verify the statements. The game edged back and forth during three quarters and then G. R. I. managed to get ri four-point lead. With just seven seconds to go Andover made a basket and had two trials from the Charity line. The first was a counter. The second rolled off the rim but when the six-foot trio of which we boast Went into action the ball sank through the basket just as the whistle blew, a one point victory but it counted and marked the close of one of the best games Andover ever played. Other games of the year were Al- bion 34-Andover High School 26, Albion 39- Andover High School 22, Williamsfield 17- Andover 48, Rock Creek 14-Andover 44, Rome 14-Andover 37, Richmond 11-Andover 36. When the time for the county tourna- ment arrived the Andover boys had hopes of becoming the County Champs, but after eliminating Rome the Andover team had the damper put upon its efforts when it met with defeat at the hands of Rock Creek. Al- though they failed to bring home the pen- nant the Andover boys basketball team re- garded the year 1927-28 as a big, happy sea- son. Milton E. Martin, Class of '28. PAGE 18

GIRLS' BASKETBALL The season of 1927-28 was one of the most successful in the annals of Andover basketball history. The season opened with an extraordinary amount of spirit and a large number of candidates for the team. Three varsity players, Thelma Hartz, Ruth Gay and Nellie Hartz, have gone since last season. Their places were filled with able players. Those on the varsity team this year were Dot Mu1'ray, Betty Bishop, Anna Ogram, Ana Gay, Claribell Steen, Mildred Bailey and Frances Miner as honorary cap- tain. Second team was made up of Arda Mason, La Dell Mead, Ruth Hill, Irene Reed and Frances Cleland. Those getting nu- merals for their help in practice and the second team were Lyla and Lyda Loe and Elizabeth Bailey. Miss Boord was the coach and did fine work in training and bringing her team to victory. The team itself this year showed excel- lent spirit, sportsmanship and team work throughout the season. The players started out the season by winning their first schedf uled game from Williamsfield. By hard practice and physical development the entire squad grew into a faster and better skilled team. During the season the girls lost only one county scheduled game. They received 219 points to their opponents' 184. The coach was especially encouraged this season with prospects of some new material for next year's squad. The second team played several games and Won from New Lyme and Espyville. On several occasions the coach had opportunity to try out some of the reserves and they succeeded in mak- ing an excellent showing. The crowning event of the season, of course, was the winning of the annual county tournament. It happened that the Andover girls drew Rome for their first game which was played off Feb. 19. The game was rather slow and although An- dover easily succeeded in winning over their opponents their playing was not all indicta- tive of what to expect the following Satur- day. The first game played the next week was with Williamsfleld. It was a close, hard- fought game all the way through. After winning that, however, the girls entered the finals against Orwell. Never did the'girls display such marvelous teamwork as they did then and their playing was superb. The game was the most exciting of the wholc tournament, and the Andover girls winning by a score of 26-21 brought home the first 9-0-000000 0 Q Q 440404-G0-G0-0-0-0-QQQO-QQ Q-Q pennant the basketball girls have ever won.

+G0 BASEBALL In the fall of 1927 began the athletics with much confidence in a successful season of baseball. At the beginning of the season there were many to respond to try for places on the team. Some of those taking part on the team and those aiding in its develop- ment Were: Warren, Cobb, Lewis, Parker, Martin, Huffman, Johnson, Sanko, Vickery, Stump, Nelson, Britton, Gray and Luoma. Some of these were not able to be on the team due to some special cause that could not be avoided, but aided the team very much in their practice. The season started with the team being very successful. Of the games played only two were lost before the tournament. This gave the school and also the boys a feeling that they were to be successful in winning the pennant. By the time of the tournament the boys were thoroughly determined to win. The first game of the tournament was with Kingsville and our boys winning with a score of 9-4. For the next game we drew Wayne. This we easily won but with a smaller margin with a score of 3-2. The final game was with Dorset, whom we had defeated earlier in the year. This game and the pennant was lost by a smaller margin. TRACK At this writing the boys for Field meet are practicing noon hours and at nights after school. The following are taking part in some event: Todd, Hall, Parker, Huffman, Warren, Marr, Sanko, Lewis, Dain, Stump, Luoma, D. McCombs, Dingman, Creesy. Hoover, Martin and Tabor. The Field meet tournament is to be held May 12, 1928, at Jefferson, Ohio. Forrest Cobb. O TENNIS The Tennis teams of Andover High School have been eminently successful and have the unusual record of having won every contest in the last four years. Two of the girls who graduated two years ago won first and second in the county championship contests. The boys' team, which shares in the undefeated honors, will graduate this year and we shall expect to hear from them in college circles. With Miss Sarah Thompson and Miss Marjorie Watson and Mr. Milton Martin and Mr. Em- erson Gibbs, Andover High had a tennis squad that is rarely equalled in any high school in the state. The game is becoming more popular each year and many are trying for places on the squad. moo-Q44-04-000040090 o'vooo+o++o o 904-Q-0-+040-0+-vo-0-9-0-+0 FACULTY Back Row, Left to'Rig'ht-Carleton M.
