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.

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.

CAPTAIN ROBERT MOORHEAD-Guard Bob was a snappy little captain who led his lighting Eve through a successful year, Moor- head played a good hard, clean. game which won even the admiration of the opponents. lt was great to see Bob loop those field goals whenever the game was close. CLARENCE HENDRICKS-Center Babe was tall and just fitted to the job given to him. He played for all he was worth and could out-jump the majority of centers Whom he came up against. Babe had an option on making just a certain number of points in every game which could invariably be depended upon. JAMES CLARK -Forward Jimmy often saved the day with one of his field goals. He played not only a very hard offensive game but also a wonderful defensive part. Whenever a point was wanted, the ball was passed to Jimmy and a point was no longer needed. Everyone will be glad to know that he will be with us next year. CHARLES GUNN--Forward Gunny was a veteran this year and his play certainly showed it. Everytime Gunny moved he was cool and deliberate. He played a hard, fast game and kept the opposing score down to a minimum. As Gunny has been with us three years, it will seem odd not to have him next year. CHARLES BISH-Forward Bishy displayed the same snap and speed on the floor as he did on the football field. Charles could dribble the ball from one end of the floor to the other before you could think of it. He played a defensive game which was hard to beat. ONE HUNDRED AND SEVEN
