INDOOR SPORTS The walls of the familiar old gym resounding with cheers, the cries of excitement and eagerness, the strains of a stirring march played by the band-it is the night of a basketball game. Those nights when the score was so close as to cause to rise from fast-beating hearts fervent prayers for a break -those nights when the team, playing- at its best and striving for success, lost by a narrow margin--those are the nights we remember. And then those hard-fought battles in which the decision was awarded us-can we ever forget them? To the departing players on the teams, and to those remaining behind-here's to victories next year, here, at college, and in life.

The team which was put out was capable of competing with any school in this vicinity and was received by them with enthusiasm. Vwlhen tryout was called. about forty boys responded and it did not take long to see they knew something about baseball and with a little practice they developed the leading factor. teamwork. In this sport as in others. the excitement and play ran high and hard. but the good sportsmanship prevailed. After the team once got under way. it held its own with the best. XVithout a doubt. old Findlay High will have bigger and better teams to follow in the footsteps of this first one which broke the path.

Porter. liindlay High School can once more be proud of the fine and clean sportsmanship her basket- ball warriors maintained throughout the basketball season. Mr. Coffey. the head coach. was sur- prised at the way every boy pitched in and teamed together until a fine team was ready for the first game. Although the team's laattleflag was badly torn with only two games to its credit. it must be remembered that it is not the score that counts. but how the game is played. The teamwork that was displayed was noted to a marked extent. XVhen the defense was called up to work. it worked. and to its capacity. Likewise did the boys put everything into the offensive game when called into play. The team showed up their valor to a high extent when they entered the district tournament at Bowling Green. They were really a true asset to Findlay High when they trouped out on the floor in their natty attire and played the game. The season's scores are as follows: la H. S. I6 Bowling Green Z3 F. H.
