This is not a bad score considering the fact that the team was quite inexperienced. Many errors in team play was evidenced, yet it was a much better game than the score indicates. November 12-Montmorenci fHereD g Gur ancient rivals from out of the west invaded our camp and car- ried away the honors by a 26-22 count. It was a fast, well-played game throughout. November 25-Romney CThereJ ' This was a hotly contested game. At the close, we were one point ahead f24-231 but some how or other the Romney score book showed that the count was 25-24 in their favor. Thus we lost our third consec- utive game. December 4-West Point CHerej After completely out-classing the visitors in the initial period, Ginger Rivers 8: Co. came back strong in the final session and snatched a vic- tory out of our hand by a 30-27 score. This game proved to the fans that we had a great team, in the making. December 11-Dayton fTherej Again we completely out-classed our opponents in the initial period. but their Cigar Box VVonders wilh the aid of the official, emerged victorious in an overtime tilt by a 20-21 score. December 12-Attica CHereJ There isn't enuf bad luck in the world to last forever. So after playing consistently for forty minutes, together wilh a few breaks of the game, we held a 23-18 advantage. Thus we broke into the win column once again. December 18-Rossville QTherej It took us about ten minutes to get accustomed to the Livery Barn . From then on, however, it was a nip and tuck affair. The early lead was too much to overcome. so we lost to one of the best teams in this section 25-40. December 19-Monon QHerej Old Man Luck seemed to be traveling in the other direction and we lost a well-played game. C563
