COACH PAUL MAC” McPHERSON Basketball Our Trojans, coached by Paul McPherson came through with another winning basketball season, conquering 11 of 20 opponents. In the regular season games the Men of Troy won 10 and lost 7. In the New Year’s Day Tourney the Trojans defeated Laketon, but were beaten by Chester. In the sectional Tourney the Trojans were beaten by the Ro-ann Indians 38-39. The second team finished up the season with a wonderful record. The reserves were defeated only twice in seventeen games, losing once to Chester and once to Huntington Catholic. The defeat by Chester was made up later in the season however, the Trojans winning 35-27.

Kindy The seventh and eighth grade softball team began the sports year for the junior high groups. They played six games and won four which made a good record. Two of the games lost were lost to the same school, Akron. It was a better than average season and they have all rights to be proud. The seventh and eighth grade basketball team played twelve games in all; they won five and lost seven. This did not make as good an average as the softball team made, but when it is seen that three of the games were lost by a one-point margin, the record looks better. Two of the games were lost to Wabash. The fellows say there is going to be a different story next year, for they intend to make Wabash the loser in two games. The freshmen came out even in their basketball season by winning five games and losing five. They, too, lost two games to Wabash. They are looking for-wark to taking these defeats out on the Wabash high school teams next year, for most of the boys will be right in there pitching on our high school teams. Coach John Dierdorf is mighty proud of these junior high school groups. He has pointed out that the groups displayed good sportsmanship and maintained a fine school spirit throughout the season. There is no finer ideal in sports. Jr. High Teams Back Row (L. to R.)—J. Snyder, D. Boyer, W. Burr, P. Hodge, W. Walrod, G. Sturdevant, Mr. J. Dierdorf Front Row (L to R.)—B. Gruwell, R. Rice, B.
