SDCCER The Black and Orange, composed of all Seniors but one, showed good co-oper- ation through the whole season, even though they met twice with defeat. As the season started, the future was believed to be rather doubtful because seven of last year's regulars had been lost through graduation. The end of the first game gave support to these beliefs as the score was two to nothing in favor of Scott. This defeat spurred the team on to greater effort, but it was the destiny of Benton to fall into third place of the northern branch of Columbia County, thus keeping them out of the play-offs. The results of the league season were as follows: Benton . 0 Scott ..,.,, ,. .. . 2 Benton .. .. 2 Huntington Mills ..., ,, 0 Benton . 1 Orangeville .. 4 Benton ,. 3 Mifflin 0 Benton .. 7 Millville .. . 0 35

BASKETBALL Although the twelve girls wl1o met at the beginning of the 19-L1 basketball season were a bunch of greenics, they had one ambition-to rewin the championship title, which our school has held for a number of years. WVith this in mind, these girls practiced diligently eaeh night to build a new team. VVhen they finally met Millvillc, the first opponent, they surprised everyone by an overwhelming victory. From then on it was rough sledding, but the team, equal to the occasion, played hard and reached their goal. They came out at the end of the season with six victories and the Columbia County Girls' Outdoor Basketball Championship.

Second Row-Andrew Pavalonis, Kenneth Kelsey, Earl Keller, Drew Yost, Charles Ash, Richard Herritt, Franklin Klase, William Davis, Coach. BASEBALL Among the candidates who reported for the 4l baseball season, there were only three regulars from the preceding year. Facing this obstacle, Coach William Davis put the group through an early practice. After the first game had proved that the team was not in good shape, the prac- tices were lengthened and made more diligent. Immediately the boys' baseball playing ability improved and Benton finished the season with but three defeats against seven wins which gave them a game average of .700. Even though the boys did not receive honors, much credit is given to them and the coach for developing so fine a team from inexperienced players.
