BASKETBALL over the Scott Bulldogs 33-25, which showed that the boys were still in there with all they had. The loss to DeVilbiss 43-32 stirred their fighting spirit and they finally came into their own with four top scores. Hard fighting teams such as Woodward, Macomber, and Central fell under the onslaught of the mighty Libbey Cowboys. A score of 20-l9 was run up in the game with the Polar Bears while the Macomber Craftsmen were tumbled to 37-33. The Scott game, which was overtime, proved Libbey a victor with 23-22 points marked.

The season closed with two losses handed out by Waite and Port Huron 41-33 and 22-2l. The tournament at Toledo University proved Libbey to be better in play than Whitmer and Hossford, but Central, after the trouncing it got at our hands, came back viciously to pocket ten points more then we, 38-28.

Bob Ste Dick Trumbull VARSITY lt's a toss-up!

The marvelous ability, work, and fighting spirit displayed by the boys on the varsity line make them worthy of the Libbey The first two games proved a good start, for the boys trimmed Fremont Ross and Tiffin lunior Qrder 37-30 and l6-8 respectively. Then came the first defeat of the season with our boys bow- ing to a large St. loseph quintet 22-l9 on the latter's floor.
