Atfthe first practice four letter men were back, besides Nash from Conway. With much other promising material, Coach .Bishoff set to work to develop a championship team. From the first it was hard to tell what-to expect from the team. Games would be won until the last -few seconds, when they would slack up and loose by a narrow margin .d'. Going down to defeatfgalloping through to victory, 'ever striving to satisfy Coach Bishoff's desire for a winning team, the five near the grand climax, The County Tourney . Near- ly every town in the county having defeated and being defeated by some other team in the county, dope was rather uncertain as to the outcome. P . The County Basketball Tournament was a grand success so far as interest and attendance is concerned. Neither our boys nor girls team were fortunate enough to win any trophies. ' The boys drew Clearfield, the winners of the tournament, in the first round and were put out of the running. Our girls fared somewhat better, winning from Gravity in the first round by a good sized margin. In the second you-nd they met New Market. It was a hard fought game, but,2 al- though close at first, Bedford seemed off form and was defeat- ed 36-17. , T e Although Bedford- won no trophies, competition was keen, and it was no disgrace to lose to the teams they did.

Our girls started practice about two weeks before Thanksgiving under the supervision of Mr. McLain. As usual, about twenty-four were out for practice, but when the team was picked, all but fourteen loyel ones dropped out. Mac practiced us mostly with passes and we didn't do much serommaging. After Thanksgiving, Coach Bishoff took our team in hand. He gave us some good hard practicing, and on Decdinber 15, we met Clearfield on our home floor. We showed them a merry chase and sent them home with defeat. Our next game was with Blockton. Our Star forward and Captain, Ruth Parrish, was unable to play, but we added another victory anyway. We kept on winning victories until January 30, when we niet Lenox on their floor. It was a sad day for us. A long tiresome ride over rough roads -and a defeat! However, we were good losers then and won from them when they came down here, on February 19. Our next and only defeat before the tournament was at Corning. A thirty- two mile ride over extremely rough roads just about got the best of two or three of our players, but they put up a good fight. Then came the County Tournament. We Won from Gravity, and although We lost from New Market, we got two players, Ruth Parrish and Emma Foley, placed on the All Tournament Team, and Virginia Pieringer received honorable mention. On Friday, March 13, we went to Stanton to a District Tournament. Satur- day a. m. we played Villisea and won. We played Stanton Saturday p. ni. and lost. Our girls did their best playing over there and Maude Foley got placed on the All Tournament first team. This was quite an honor, as there were about fourteen towns represented. Bedford went four 1'ounds and played in the semi- finals. Taking into consideration all the circumstances, we consider that we have had a. very successful season, and we wish the best of luck and success to the next year 's team.
