BASKET BALL The basket ball team of 1904 started the season with Lyla Biddinger as captain, under whose splendid leadership we were victorious in several games and met defeat only twice, but in those games it was beef vs. science. Our team was considered the fastest and quickest in play around the country and with excellent guards we Were hard to beat. N9 team ever met ns on the field contident of victory, nor were we dnt-classed in a single game. The following is the lineaupz Lyla Biddinger, Capt., centre. i Nina Sturgeon, side centre. Maybelle Overbaugh, guard back. Nellie Eyler, guard forward. Belle Williams, goal back. June Birdsall, goal forward. T The outlook at the beginning of the year 1906 was very encouraging.

Under splendid coaching, the team developed fine team work and would have had little fear in meeting any opponent, but ,the season was not favorable to basket ball, and it was with the greatest regret that we saw the close with only a few games played, but the spirit remains and it has done as much to stimulate loyalty to our High School as any other organiza- tion. i Long live basket ball!
