The basket ball season was opened Dec. 5 after a few weeks of practice. Calvin Rivals gave us the first try out at our own gym where we were defeated by the close score of 14-15. Dec. 12 marked another spot on our record when we were beaten by the Grand- villi tes at Grand ville. The score stood 14-15. Dec. 19 we journeyed to Spring Lake, only to be defeated bv the Independents of that city. Score 15-14. Now McKinnon, Getty, Comstock, Wolbrink and Van Allsburg decided they could still play basket ball, and on Dec. 30 after a very hard battle they defeated us 16-32. Jan. 9. The first game of a new year and the team, with a determined spirit, set out for Union High where we were met and defeated by their Reserves. Score 1 (5-14. Jan. 30. Ravenna High appeared on the battle field of C. H. S., only to take their annual beating. The game was fast and rough, C’ville taking the long end of the count 13-18. Feb. 3. We journeyed into foreign lands again, this time to meet the Catholic Central High quint at the K. of C. gym. C’ville made a fine start in the first half, the score standing 11-2 in our favor.

We were defeated by one point at Sparta. March 9. Our bitter rivals, Grandville, appeared. They were accompanied by a large, enthusiastic crowd of rooters. Of course they were confident of win- ning, but when Simpson, their star, failed to shine it was different. They could not score and so the first half ended 3-6, C. H. S. in the lead. C. H. S.. not being satisfied with the small margin, set out in the second half with a terrific pace with no less good results. The outcome of it was that Grandville could not stop us and the final score was 6-18, C’ville’s favor. M arch 12. Goaded on by the victory over Grandville, we made our way to Ravenna. Although R. H. S. gained a two point lead on us in the first half, 6-8, we did not lose our nerve. We came back strong in the second and scored a 26-9 victory. Ravenna’s only point in the last half was a free throw by Lang. March 16. We faced the Spring Lake Independents at C’ville.
