AN EDUCATIONAL PUBLICATION DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF THE AUBURN HIGH SCHOOL V°L AUBURN. NEBR.. APRIL 1909 NO. 4 ATHLETICS CL PLATTSMOUTH VS. AUBURN. February 12. Plattsmouth boys on our floor. They were “little fellows” and were outclassed in a 11 points of the (tame. At the first sound of the whistle our boys started with a rush and played the Plattsmouth five “clear off their feet.” Plattsmouth secured only one field goal during the evening and probably wouldn’t have received that had not our guard slipped and fallen just as be started to jump to stop the ball. Clevenger, guard, never left his man for an instant and every time the ball even came near his goal, he was present to send it hack up the field where It, quite naturally, dropped through the basket. Our other four boys played for the goals and they dropped the ball through the rings with about even honors Yochum, center, threw 5 field goals; Mastin, guard, threw 9; Souders. forward, threw 9, and York, forward, threw 10 Together with the free throws, our boys made 69 points and Plattsmouth 8.

Lack of interest in the past two years in basket ball on the part of both students and town people has causedthe Auburn High School to develop very poor teams. It is a fact, we have not won many games this year, but still we have won more than any other team which has represented Auburn in the last three years. 1’he team of ’07 and the team of ’l8 lost every game played. However this year there has been an “awakening” among the students and the team of ’09 has started the High School on the road to success. This year our team has taken longer trips and played much faster teams than the school has ever played before. We have also played more games thi» year than in all previous years taken together. With this good start the squad next
