Majewski. p BASKETBALL fseconcl Team, I Hunting, with the advantage of height, scored ten points against the smaller boys. The score was 17-13. On our own Hoor we took another game in a slow going affair in which the Covert boys scoring machine got under way and rolled up a score of 39-10. before Coach Andrews inserted his second team. We at last played Lawrence who for the past two years was the team that had put us out of the running for class D championship. VV e journeyed to Law- rence for the iirst contest and there defeated them by a score of 16-14. This put us on top for the county class D championship. as we were the only unde- feated team in the county. Later the Lawrence team came to Covert to avenge the previous defeat at our hands, but once again the Covert boys got going and with their fastipassing attack and Houston's ability to drop in long shots as well as the other players wonderful defensive work, we again defeated Lavvrence, and cinched the championship by a score of 17-10. g 53

The 1930 Basketball season was a very successful one, due to the splendid coaching of Pat', Andrews, who developed for the iirst time, since the building of our school, a Championship Team. Andrews has turned out teams in the past which have played a high brand of ball, but never has Covert had a scrappier or faster bunch of men than on this year's team. VVe started out the season with a squad of' seventeen men, including Captain Houston, Delano and Kenney of last year's squad and some promising material from last year's second team, namely, Bates, Harvey, Austin, Gnofrio and Vaughan, also a new player, XY. Hunting, who looked like a certainty for center on account of his height. VVe started on our way to the class D county championship by defeating Gobles on our own Hoor by a score of 17-11, and in a return game on their floor by a score of 14-5. Our next class ID victory was against the small but fast Mattawan squad. 52

l OUR SHOWER AND LOCKER ROOlVlS . This is thc' locker that 'Jack' built. NYe are very proud of our new showers and, at this time, want to express our thanks to the people of the school district and to the School Board for pro- curing this wonderful addition to our school. Showers and dressing rooms have been a long felt need at Covert High School, especially in the physical education department. Now this need has been cared for. No longer do players have to 'dress behind shields or in the manual training room for we now iind ourselves equipped with plenty of showers, a large dress- ing room for our home team as well as for visiting teams. Besides this we have a storage space for our equipment and an office for our Coach. These rooms now put this department on a par with the larger schools in the country and in advance of many of our rival class D schools. Again we thank one and all for the interest shown toward the development of our Physical Education Department. VVe are glad during this first year of use to dedicate it with Covert's first Championship in Basketball. 54
