'..,.... tm 'K : SCA' ' ll1 ...... X -'win QW,-.., 1. i. WILBUR W. SWARTZ Coach Mr. Swartz has proved himself to be a real coach. Although this is his first year coaching he has shown us many tricks of the trade which have won many games. Teams to come will realize his worth because he spent much time and patience with the reserves as well as the reg- ulars. VVe hope that he will return next year, MAY BENROTH Although Miss Benroth is not our coach she played her pa1't and played it well in making the team a success this year. As official chaperon she has become the friend of every mem- ber on the team. By her cooperation with our coach and her helpful crit- icisms she has helped to win many a game. Also her never-failing en- thusiasm has cheered many a player when defeat was our lot. LUCILE REIDENBACH Captain Luce showed as much ability at forward as she did at side center in previous years. As captain and for- ward she played stellar basketball throughout the season. Juggling was an occasional feature of her playing. It will take o11e with an accurate eye to fill her place next year.

rfb' lb? wife-:miw:2a:s.-u 4 C-'ro' Mft 1 Rfb' ' ' 1 .7 February 3-Ohio City There-26-22 Earlier in the season the Red and White had won over Ohio City by a larger score, but, during the second game with Ohio City, the Red and Green boys led the Convoy lads in the first part of the game. C. H. S. returned at the half with the determination to put the score for Convoy ahead and they won by four points. February 10-Delphos Here-26-17 Delphos came to Convoy with a more or less impressive record, having lost only one game in the county. C. H. S. had very little difficulty how- ever, winning easily, with most of the reserves playing the last half of the game. Lytle was substituted for Dauler and played very well in view of the fact that this was his first varsity game. February 17--Fort Wayne Central Catholics Here-11-31 Fort Wayne came to Convoy with their team improved to what it had been the first game with Convoy, winning by a large score. This is not a bad refiection on the C. H. S. team because this Fort Wayne team is one of the best in Indiana. TOURNAMENTS' Our first game at the County Tournament came with the Union Cen- tralized team on Saturday, February 253 at 9 o'clock, at the Y. M. C. A. Gymnasium of Van Wert. Score 13-12. The C. H. S. boys had a very hard game with Union winning after a close scoring game in a double overtime. Doyt Dauler played very good for Convoy in this game. Second and iinal game of Tournament. Ridge, Saturday, February 253 8:30 p. m. Score 29-28. Ridge who had played a very hard game with York on Saturday morn- ing, had a very strong team and gave C. H. S. the hardest game of the tournament. However we came out on top with a one point lead in a fast nerve-wrecking game. Ridge outfought the local team in the first half having a lead of eight points. The Red and White came back in the last half with the win or die spirit. All the boys fought until the final whistle blew, winning the tournament for the third successive year. Captains Myers and Stemen received the large silver basketball trophy in honor of the team's victories and won the right for the team to partic- ipate in the Sectional Tournament held in Lima the following week. Lima Tournament, Friday and Saturday, March 2 and 3. Coach Livingston took eight players to Lima. Convoy played St. Gerard's Catholic High School team Friday after- noon. The game was close all during the regular time, C. H. S. boys miss- ing many free throws and an overtime period was necessary. They literally swamped the Catholics in the overtime, making four baskets and giving us the right to play Rockford in semi-finals. Rockford, March 3, 2 o'clock. Score 22-39. Rockford had the strongest team that Convoy played this season with the exception of Fort Wayne Central Catholics. Although Rockford start- ed out far ahead of the Red and White, our team played hard the whole game, making about half their points on short shots. 1928 fe Page 9 1 l J l 'tw fi u V V. lj, r .rr U al N .V it H wb iw If xvx!

MARY SHAFFER Mary left a record of which we are all proud. She not only gave her guards plenty of hard work but was quite accurate in her shots. She played good team work with all the girls, being responsible for many bas- kets which she herself did not make. It will take a star to fill her shoes next year. A 3-letter girl. MILDRED ARMSTRONG Mid was a valuable asset to the team. Although lacking in size, her speed and head work baffled her op- ponents, saving Convoy High School in many dangerous moments. She deserves more praise than she will probably get. NVho can fill her place at side center next year? A 3-letter girl. MILDRED TRACY Although Mildred is only a Fresh- man she developed into an experienc- ed playergone of the best guards in the County. Her good headwork broke up passes, keeping the oppo- nents score low. She could be de- pended upon to catch dribbles and hurry the ball to our forwards. In the next three years she should be- come an outstanding guard. A 1-letter girl. FERN NORTH Fern is one of those tall athletic Juniors. She started the year as guard but changed to center and played there the remainder of the year. She developed a fighting spirit and was able to get the tip-off from many of her opponents. Much is expected of her next year. A 1-letter girl. T 4 4 , l 14 2Tf'iisf iweixlrfff, 2 if f'7ff2a'i'574-9851 fifxs 1-Xi Page
