Krevec and Schinker, left from the jones team of the last yearg although considerable material was chosen from the lower three classes. The team had a very successful season under the leadership of H. S. Rickert. The hrst game was played with Mineral Ridge which resulted in a scoreless tie. Fitch showed remarkable talent in defeating Leavittsburg and North Jackson, the latter our rival to the west, each of these teams were defeated in very good games. The score at times was not so close, but nevertheless they were real football games. Although losing to Scienceville two games, the latter of these two was by far the most brilliant game of the season. Fitch also lost to Canfield in a game that was determined by mud and rain. The football squad of Fitch High will lose the following players through graduation: Brandmiller, the consistant playing captain, Schinker the stellar end along with Nyiro, J. Kravec Appel, all capable and courageous players. - 'Xncf ...A I if 8,

Girls' Basketball A very unusual season was experienced by the Girls' Basketball Team this past year. It was a rather successful season having won over half of the games played. The team was considerably handicapped for the Tournament due to the sudden necessity of an operation on Dorothy Albert, Captain. But the vacancy was taken care of by the changing of positions and substitutions. Two important positions had to be Hlled, this year, that of center and of center guard, nevertheless these were capably played by Leedy and Slaven. Chubb continued her good playing as forward, while Kale and Nielson continued their excellent guarding. Pusch, Raidel, Fear. and Haefke as substitutes could always be depended upon to till any vacancy. Fitch will lose four of the ten players this year, Albert, Slaven, Pusch and Raidel through graduation. Although the final game in tournament was lost three of the ten girls were selected for positions on the all county teams. Nelson being placed on the first team, while Slaven and Leedy held position on the second team. Schedule F. H. S. OPP. F. H. S. OPP.
