BASKET BALL This basket ball season has been one of the best in our school history; it has been good from start to finish and thoroughly crowded with interesting games and surprises for everybody. The games have been played with old and new rivals, La-Place being the only one who remains undefeated. We have played twenty games all together and count seventy-five per cent to our credit with only twenty-five per cent to that of our opponents. The team is composed of capable men and altho our only acknowledged star is Wilson, we have a quintet that works as a well oiled machine. Our center, Wilson, is also captain of the team and has been with us tour years, having been a member of the team when only a freshman. He is said to be the best center in the county, on account of the many games won solely by his impetuous rush and skill as a goal shooter. Moore, our right forward, is playing his second year on the team and his work certainly shows the skill of a veteran player, and the way he hits the hoop from all over the field is a sight worth seeing. Knowing that we should have much money coming in, Moore was elected treasurer of the team, and has performed his duty assiduously. Collins, a Junior, is playing his first year as a regular on the team and is a very good player. Moore and Collins play the same forward and consequently take turns about in playing, neither being the substitute of the team. OfTenstien, our left forward is playing his second year on the team and he still plays that steady game that kills off weaker men. Altho this is his first year as a forward he shows remarkable skill at goal shooting and plays the game like the veteran that he is. Weatherholt, a freshman, plays right guard and shows the training he received while yet in the eighth grade. He plays a running game and has fully contributed his share to the victories. Hines, the left guard is playing basket ball for the first time and shows a bull dog tenacity when in a game, always carefully guarding his man. At the beginning of the year Cogdal was elected secretary of the team and John Biggs, a former guard, was elected manager. When the county tournament was held at Monticello, Atwood entered and after a hard game with LaPlace, had to be contented with second place, LaPlace getting first and Monticello third. The team went to Bloomington later in the year and were defeated by Bloomington high school in the Central State Tournament. The reason for this defeat, as with other large schools, was that the subs were left in too long. With the Bloomington tournament the year ended and lost to us Wilson, for that was his last game as a high school student. Next year we will enter the race with a new center and with good hopes of the county championship. The new center will probably be Moore or Cogdal and it simply lies in the touch off.
