DEEDS AND MISDEEDS —13 BASKETBALL TEAM BOYS BASKETBALL The eighth grade basketball team had a very successful season during the year, having won eleven of the fourteen games played. The fact that we were provided with new suits caused us to step out rather proud- ' v and no doubt contributed much to our success. Mr. Thomas and Mr. Kennedy worked out some new plays for us to use. The first semester we won a three series game from St. Joe. Two of our valuable players, Engle and Reynolds entered high school and our line-up was noticeably weak¬ ened. As a result St. Joe won the county tournament in the final game by a score of 26-20. Line-up for first semester: Roop, Engle, Debolt, for¬ wards; Capt. Gerber and Hebble, cen¬ ters; Reynolds, Smitley, Andrews, guards. Second semester: Roop, Debolt, Hesher, forwards; Capt. Gerber, Heb¬ ble, centers; Smitley, Andrews. Beard, guards.
