Every one was wild when the score was knotted at 29. Then for the remaining four minutes no more dogged nor exciting basketball was ever played. The gun barked and the score stood 35-31 in our favor. February 12-Montmorenci CHerej Led by Capt. Tesmer, our team won, 40-27, in a game of machine-like basketball. Tes's sensational shooting and the excellent guarding and the team work of the others soon put the game on ice. It was the great' est exhibition of basketball ever seen on the home court. February 19-Rensselaer CTherej , The game was fast throughout. wilh the thrills being furnished in the first half by Rensselaer and the second period by Battle Ground. The half lead of 26-ll was a little too much to overcome, the final score being 40-37. February 26-Dayton fHerej Rough and ready were this Dayton bunch, but they could not cope successfully with our clever team. VVe won, 30-20. February 27-West Lafayette fThereJ By playing excellent ball in every department of the game, the B. G. team accomplished the thing that no B. G. team ever did before. Beat West Side on their own home floor, 27-19. It was a worthy victory, and an ideal way to close our 1925-1926 regular schedule. 5- ng- , if Am R A 'f- .- -3. 'OCD-, 1,2 'fs r 2 M'--lfz..

The small gym was 28-29 us for sure, Stockwell 29C?j 28. Overtime game, Brookston won by a slow score of again the jinx. january 2-West Lafayette CHerej The team, going into the game with a determined spirit, played hard and succeeded in winning another good ball game by a score of 31-17. january 9-Monon fTherej The team played much better than the score indicated. The handi- cap of posts and a poor playing floor were too much to overcome, so we were trailing 24-36 at the end. january 16-Carthage Tourney The event of the year, to the players as well as the coach. Leaving early Friday morning we traveled by Lafayette, Indianapolis and Knightstown, arriving in Carthage at 4:00 p. m. The next morning at 8:00 we pried the lid off the tourney by defeat- ing New Salem 32-10. This brought us up against New Palestine, vic- tor over Carthage at 2:00 p. m. Both teams emphasized defense so the score was low, 15-12, New Palestine winning because they got the break of the game. VVe arrived home at 6:00 o'clock Sunday evening, tired, though happy, even if we didn't win the prize. January 22-Remington fTherej The Remingtonhsix-foot giants played over our heads, and under the low beams of the old garage, winning 26-12. Nevertheless, the team played hard and did their best under the circumstances. The trip in the big bus was thoroughly January 29-Romney QHerej enjoyed. Out to win! Out to win! Avenge that former bitter defeat! That was the battle cry. Trailing 20-16 at the first half, we came back fight- ing mad, and in a whirlwind finish obtained sweet revenge by a 38-33 count. February 5-Brookston fHerej We feel and play better when we are at home. As a result we avenged the former defeat by a 23-17 count. C573
