INTRAMURAL ATHLETICS Basketball became the leading intramural sport this year. These compet- itive inter-cias- games were held after school and were well attended by stu- de ts who gathered in their respective groups to cheer their favorite class to victory. Much class-spirit became noticeable after the season was well started, but a sense of good sportsmanship was ever present. This idea dovetailed into a school spirit which prevailed at all games and gave the Varsity a much more vigorous support than heretofore known. The results at the end of the season seemed to show that the underclassmen were victorious in the percentage of games won, particularly the Freshmen boys and the Sophomore girls. Congratulations and more power to you, youngsters! These, however, were not the only results. Many more students became acquainted with the principles of the game and were frankly fascinated. Gym classes were looked forward to with pleasure and the varsity games were more than welcome. It is our belief that a more wholesome sport could not have been introduced.

COUNTY TRACK MEET The great day had arrived. The date was May 2. Every student was all “set” for the County Track Meet, and enthus'asm ran high because of the de- cided victory cf the week before. In the forenoon, the Junior Hi School students carri d on their events. As only a few from this school entered, very little scoring was done. In the afternoon, the girls and boys from almost all of tin h:gh schools in the county gathered to participate in the various events. Representatives ware present from Wauseon, Archbold, Delta, Swanton, Pettisville, Lyons, Fay- ette, Metamora, Chesterfield and Fulton. Archbold took only twTo first places at this meet, but many ribbons were brought home. Siegel vaulted 10’ 3” and Mansfield threw the javelin 136’ 5”. Wauseon took the meet with 90 points: Delta—68: Lyons 63; Swanton 30; Archbold 29; with Pettisvil’e and Fayette following with 24 and 18 po nts. WILLIAMS-FULTON BI-COUNTY MEET On May 8 Stryker, West Unity and Fayette journeyed to Archbold for the first League Track Meet. All these teams had participated in previous meets and therefore were con- fident of an almost certain victory. The day was cloudy and in the afternoon it rained now' and then. The inclement weather did not prev nt the calling of all twelve events. Mansfield of ArchboM was awarded a medal for being high po nt man. He took first in the 50 yard dash Time 5-2; the shot put—36’ 4”; and javelin 129’ 10”. John Steensen took the discus throw by tossing it 93’ 8”. The total score: Stryker 53; Archbold 46 4; Fayette 24; West Unity 14 4. This, however, will not be the last track meet. On May 29 the Interclass meet will be held at Ruihley Park. The grade meet will be held in the morning ard high school in the afternoon. Bring your lunch basket and help support your class. BASEBALL Many promising candidates came out for baseball this spring. Baseball has always been considered a minor sport in Archbold but before long cur op- ponents may find a very good reason for thinking otherwise. At this writing only two, of four games scheduled, have been played. The Stryker-Archbold game opened the season. Archbold lost in a very exciting game by only one point. The score was 9 to 8. On the day that Pettisville visited the Archbold diamond the wind blew into a gale, making it very hard to guage the ball. As Pettisville was better able to labor under the difficulty they took the game home with them. The result was 8 to 5. The other two games to be played are with Fayette, at Fayette, and a re- turn game with Pettisville. The team must win at least one of these games to receive letters. So—Let’s win! — ( 28 )-
