Basket Ball C DIvNTS of Ashtabula 11 igh School should feci proud of Coach Collins and his learn. Mr. Collins look a green squad, and although handicapped by having only a few hours practice each week, turned out one of the best winning combinations seen in Ashtabula High School for years. Before his arrival as athletic coach in our school a basket ball team representing . II. S. was considered a joke. Now our team stands in the first division in the County League. The team this year, with the exception of Sweet, was entirely new. By hard work and fast playing, the boys got away with the lion’s share of their games. Nine straight victories is a record any team can be proud of. Sweet was the only veteran on the team. Captain Smith. J. Stewart. Ford. Aunger. W. Stewart and Bice have played on the Y. M. C. A. leader team. Bixler played a little two years ago. The boys are to he congratulated on the way they played together and worked with the coach. The letter men are Captain Smith. Sweet, Ford, .1. Stewart, Bixler and Bice. The second team deserves much credit. The boys were out to practice every night and played hard during the scrimmages. A good second team is essential to the success of the first team. Six games were played by the scrubs. They won two from .letl'erson. one from Geneva, and lost two to Austin burg. THE SQUAI) Name.
