,1924 ll' O M A H A VV K B. G. H. S. STORY OF GAMES -1 Wea at B. G. XVe copped the first game of the season rather handily. XYea had won their first three games, so they were the favorites. But Nicely and Chamber- lain opened up on them and spilled the beans. Everybody worked fine in the first game: even the subs showed their power. This shows the speedy headwork of Coach NVilson. B. G. at Romney NVQ defeated our old rivals in a rough and tumble game whfch was poorly played. Nicely's eight baskets were the feature of the game. NYC were ac- companied by a large crowd of rooters. B. G. at Clark's Hill VVe came out on the big end of the score after a hard fight. The close score indicates the close guarding of Ralph, Rohrabangli, and Tesmer. Nicely and Chamberlain made enough points to win. Brookston at B. G. Brookston put a scare in us when they were leading at the 10-9.. But Nicely and Marty opened up the second half and left Brookston in the rear. The second team played the last few minutes. Morenci at B. G. Morenci defeated us again by the same number of points after a hard battle. Nicely was easily the star of the game. Tesmer and Marty played their best game. I Romney at B. G. VVe again defeated Romney to the tune of 44-9. Nicely and Chamberlain made most of the points, while the guards and Sam played a great guard game. The entire second team performed well in this game. B. G. at West Point Vlfest Point won on a forfeit when the skating rink got so slick that no- body could stand up. So not wishing to run the risk of breaking an arm or leg, we decided to quit, on the advice of Referee Branham. Page sixty

1924 T O M A H A-XV K B. G. H. S. r B. G. at Wea We walked all over them this time. VVe could not miss a basket. Pre and Okah led the attack. B. G. at West Side We were swamped this time. But I guess we couldn't help it. VVest Side played fine ball while we were off form. B. G. at the County Tournament We won our first game at the County Tournament in great style from Romney and lost to W'est Point in a great game. At the Sectional We lost to Dayton in the best game of the tournament. XVe had tough breaks while Dayton had lucky breaks. GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM 5? The girls had a basketball team this year to be proud of. They lost only one game and that was to Brookston. They will have a wonderful team next year, losing only Stonewall Bush and H. Doyle. L. Rohrabaugh and Skinny Statton made most of the points, while Smithy and Bushy showed their guarding ability. Ruby Souders was another guard of no mean ability. Lucille Foster was a 'center of great strength. VVe also had good subs that played well when given the chance. Mr. C. H. VVilson coached the team. B. G.
