Elmwood had a very successful basketball sea- son this year, winning 19 and losing 6. The team got off to a very good start, winning 9 in a row, one of these being a 55 to 39 victory over Knox- ville in the Holiday Tournament, giving them first place. They soon hit stormy weather though when Farmington beat them 52 to 48. The E.C.H.S. cagers then went into a slump after the first of the year, but soon came out into another winning streak of seven games. Glasford then stepped in and stopped them with a 48 to 44 victory, thus costing them the undisputed first in the Kickapoo Valley League. However, they didn't lose out altogether, the team tied with Glasford, sharing first. In March, the boys entered the regionals at at Canton and beat Yates City in the first gameL They were soon to be disappointed, when Lewis- town won with a victory of 43 to 35. During the basketball season, E.C.H.S. was made a member of the strong Blackhawk confer- ence. Actual competition will begin with football next year and will carry through with basketball, and track.
