1916 BEE AITCH ESS 1916 'ilieuiew nf Basket 552111 Season HE B. H. S. Basket Ball season of 1916 was very successful. The team played a schedule of seventeen games and in nine of these the score favored Batavia. The first call for practice brought out a large number of candidates and a third and fourth team was or- ganized. With foui' veterans, including Captain Council, Miles, Benson, and Tincknell on the squad, with Dunlop and McNair added, a good team was soon organized. Competing with some of the best teams in this part of the state, they made a showing not to be ashamed of. 'Figures do not lie, nor do they always tell the truth. In most of the games of the season the fans were given a good exhibition of basket ball. Altogether B. H. S. played a fast and snappy game and Won the admiration of the fans as being one of the clean- est teams in the game. GEORGE TINCKNELL, '16. Monday comes too soon after Sunday night. H031

1916 BEE AITCH ESS FRANCIS MCNAIR, '17 Left Gfuard- Sugar Sugar was a very earnest and hard player. If ever a man tried to make the team, it was Sugar. He played enough games to make his letter and no doubt will show gileiater improvement next year. ELMER SACKRISON, 17 Left Forward- Sacky Sacky graduated from the seconds late in the season. He showed promise of making a regu- lar berth next season. He is a steady player and does his best every minute of the game. HAROLD FRISBIE, '17 Right Forward- Friz Like Andy, he started out the season as second team Captain, but was soon drafted into the first team. Friz will improve rapidly next season for his playing this year was visibly better toward the last. J. K. FANCHER, Coach. 11021 1916 1
