f I W in , QV. no gs fs,s.f.Qw,,t M. gag fp, X. . - 1926 Girls, Basketball This year was the first open Intrafmural Tournament of girls' basketball in the history of the school. Championship was eagerly sought for by the nine home rooms. It was during this contest that considerable rivalry sprang up between the teams. Time after time the young hopefuls would meet, clad in their gym outfits, and fight for the championship. Fine enthusiasm and spirit were displayed in clean, earnest, and highfclass basketball. Now, behold the 'Conquering Heroes Come! The honors were carried away by the triumphant Senior Home Room Team, 112. Under the leadership of Mary Miller, Captain, this Senior team turned in eight straight victories without a single def feat. Mary was aided by Marie Halstead and Beulah Hendricks as guards, Katharine Moorhead, Violet Lunn, and Mary Leary as forwards, while Eula Moore and Lavon Mclntire played a smash and bang game at the center location. The Sophomores of Room 111 came in second by winning five games, tieing one, and losing only two. The three junior teams, 104, 105, and 106, tied for third place by winning all but three of their games. Miss Lena Enright, who worked hard with the girls in these contests to instruct them in the techniques of basketball, deserves a great deal of credit. Heres to you Miss Enright! May life give you the best. Also to our Senior team girls who are about to graduate. We wish you the best of life and to the onfcoming team, a most successful year. f 1 1 s Tj- . .

About the middle of Qctober each home room elected a captain who chose a first and a second team, The first game was played, and interest in the sport grew by leaps and bounds as the season progressed. Mr. Robbins, supervisor of intrafmural athletics refereed the games and his decif sions were accepted as final by the players. Unlike outdoor baseball the popular pas' time of throwing pop bottles at the umpire was impossible as well as unnecessary as the fair decisions of C, A. ' were seldom questioned. Babe Ruths' and Tris Speakers were a common sight in the gym on a Friday afternoon as F .H. S. undoubt- edly possessed some bigfleaguers in embryo. The finals between the two Senior Home Rooms 212 and 213 were played. The superior slugging of 212 gave them the victory and championship after they had solved the offerings of Orndorff, stellar twirler for 213. Indoor baseball is fast becoming popular in F. H. S. and may in time become an interfscholastic sport, The personnel of the champions were Edwin Leach, Medford Bell, Ray Hill, Charles Kenney, Mack Leary, Anthony Cunningham, Carl Gohlke, Harold Koontz, Karl Leary, joe Foster, Clarence Early, Wayiie Crosser and Harold Hamilton.

if 13255 . S. X. W -as ., g x I'-' I.. M .Q g l 1 I l i I I 1926 Boys' Basketball The popularity of the intrafmural sports, from the players' as well as from the spectators' standpoint was due to the efforts of Coach Aiken and C. A. Robbins. The past basketball class games were full of interest and created a new sort of friendly rivalry that is unmatched in any other branch of high school activity. Beginning early in january games were played every Friday after school and continued until March 17, when the cagers of Home Room 213 cinched the cup by defeating Home Room 203. Unlike the system last year, when only a limited number of boys could play, the schedule this year permitted every boy in the school to engage in the indoor pastime by having three teams from each room to compete. Much of the credit for the efficient arrangement of the schedule is due to Mr. Robbins, who supervised intrafmural athletics. Inter-class basketball was even more successful this year than last due to the interest created by the donation of a silver loving cup by the members of The Industrial League Baseball Association. On the cup was engraved the name of the victorious team and the home room to which they xi belong. The home room will hold the cup until the following year. The tournament this year was full of interest from first to last and gives promise Q. of a major activity at Findlay High School. Over 27 games were scheduled. Those L who played on the champion team were Tom Orndorff, Captain David Wiest, Henry h-Jyds Wolgamot, Okey Swisher, Harold Martin, and Dotson Powell. ffisigl gf .QYWSHVP 'H f it QQ -df. ,, A Q W, V, H .f-gi-5 if ifijlrxgs , tg 5 Que ld:ltk dVka11iSixtee11 Aix: 3-iigdleill
