(Twenty-Four) Basketball This team this year, although handicap] ! a great deal by sickness, came through with a rush the latter jxart of the season, and earned the right to represent tlie school in the regional tournament at Kalamazoo. We won our first game at Niles to lie defeated by Buchanan the final night, after a hard Iwttle that required all of tlie basketball strategy and skill the team could muster. Again we drew the strong Buchanan team and were defeated by them in our first game at Kalamazoo, by a closer margin than the final list. Although we lost several games this year we still consider ourselves a good team -one musft remember that Berrien County is the hot-bed of Michigan luskethall and that it sent three teams to the State tournament. A few weeks after tlie tournament the team got together long enough to show a group of star alumni just how to play liaskctball. c defeated them by a score of 28-19. Things look very good for the team of '20 and '30; all hut one or two of the team return again for another year and with Coach Harvey at the helm to teach them the game we know it will lie a successful year of haskethall.
