VARSITY BASKETBALL RESULTS As we opened our 1947-48 hardwood season it seemed as though our far distant friend Lady Luck, had completely forgotten us. We start- ed out Saturday night, November 1, in a nervous battle with New London at the Russiaville gym. We sadly bowed and continued to bow through- out the rest of our scheduled season, including our invitational tourney. But, in our county tournament we got revenge on New London by a 41 to 39 edge and went into the semi-finals, only to be defeated by the How- ard Hornets, who finished as the champs. Then the Kokomo sectional time rolled near. Our Eagles opened the sectional, which took place at the Elwood gymnasium, with a 48-47 victory over the Union Cardinals in what was considered the most exciting and best all-'round contest of all five sessions of the three-day run. This was about the biggest upset all Howard County has seen this season. Next, we gave in to the annual sectional favorites, the Kokomo Wildcats, and once again a few of our tougher athletes bade goodbye to their high school net careers. The senior boys all had some connection with basketball in one way or another. Five were players: Wayne Martin, Gene Moore, Bill Myers, Richard Ridenour, and Lyndal Wilson. A sixth, David Price, was out for basketball the last semester and became one of us. The two remain- ing were Howard Featherstone and Arley Tow. Howard was our student manager once again, and Butch, along with Jeanne Louthain, became our cheer leaders. We would like to express our appreciation to the Ervin basketball fans who constantly backed us, even though we were taking defeat more often than were we reigning victorious. Also, we would like to wish all the luck possible to next year's team in their on-coming season.

SECOND TEAM Front row: Bill Young, Student Managerg Gerald Waldron, David Mason, Frank Wilson, Robert Lawson, Benny Clingenpeel, Elmer Byers. Second row: Ivan Skiles, Archie Robertson, Rudolph Schroeter, Richard Fouts, Joe Mason, Danny Waldron, David Price. We were very proud of our Seconds this year as they won 12 out of a possible 16 games. As luck would have it, all four defeats were from teams within the county. But, upon their second meeting with each of the four they came through and really took 'em. After such luck they still held on for a third-place rating in the coun- ty Reserve standings. First place went to Union and Howard Township grabbed second position. Here's hoping they'll make EHS ai tough, future ball-club, and right soon now, too.
