0n the Ye old Alma Mater had a splendid toote ball season in 1940, even though the sport is still in its infancy at Deer Park. Mr. Wat- ters coaching, the team got off to a flying start by beating Chillicothe in their first game: the score was 21 to 7 in Deer Park's favor Terrace Park, last year's champs, took our boys over the rocks for a beating of 44 to 24. This defeat must have made our team slightly angry With themselves, because in the next game, against Anderson, they bat- tered the other team to the tune of 45 to 7. Our boys were still in a fighting mood when the time came to play Loveland, and those who watched saw one of the most thrilling games ever won by our team. At Plainville, FOOTBALL FIRST ROWiD.

Where basketeers run the gauntlet Basketball 1940-41 Zip! Swish! The way the boys were dropping 'em in the tournament, it doesri't seem possible they were beaten. They were though; superior height on the part of Colerain turn ed the trick. So it was all during the season: consequently, the team finished with five wins and twelve losses. If it had not been tor superior height on opposing teams, the Deer Park 1 boys might have finished much higher in league standing. .. q . ? ?EKM BASKETBALL FIRST ROWiD. Westrich, D. Fichter, J.

Slone, To start the season off right, Madeira gave Deer Park a sound wallopinq for which we have no excuses. The schedule continued with our boys winning just about as many as they lost. Then disaster struck; nothing seemed to go right as we faced the toughest teams on our schedule. Terrace Park, Anderson, Colerainl Plainville, Sycamore, and. again, Ma- deira took the measure of Deer Park, Through the cloud of defeat shines one bright lighte the Madeira game, for our boys put up a fight that will long be remembered. Five Deer Park boys played the entire game, and this is no small feat since Madeira has one of the best teams in this section of the state. In attempting to fill the place left by the abolishment of girls' interscholastic basketball, our reserves have done rather well for themselves. With an entirely new group of boys, Mr. Stone has shaped a team with plenty of pep and snap. These boys played hard and tast to win six out of the fourteen games; they never lost by more than two or three points. 18
