64 THE SYLLABUS ATHLETICS. For the last. three or four years athletics have been on the decline on account of the small number of boys that were interested enough to take part, but a better showing was made during the school year 1913-14 than before. The Athletic Association was organized September 2, 1913, it being com- posed of sixteen members. They 'elected Clifford Lehman, president, YVm. Louden, secretary and Ralph Monk, treasurer. One thing that acted as an ilpediment to the advancement of this asso- ciation was the lack of funds, another was the lack of enthusiasm on the part of the high school girls. lint in spite of all this, the high school boys did good Work in this field. Foot Bail. As this was the first year for foot ball in Flanagan, it was eagerly taken up by all of the students, and as a result a good team was turned out for the year. Lehman was captain of the team and he proved himself worthy of his position. The first game was played Xovember 5, with Pontiac high school at Pon- tiac. P. Ili. S. won by a score of 130-7. But as this was the first game for the home team and Pontiaeis team was a lot heavier than ours, the boys were not discouraged, but practised harder than ever. The next game was with Fairbnry at Flanagan. F. Il. S. won by a score of 7-6. Then Pontiac paid us a visit and defeated us, score 0-7. Then, December 6, another game was played with Pontiac at Flanagan. Score 65-6 in favor of Flanagan. After this game the manager was unable to secure any more games and so foot ball was given up for basket ball. Basket Ball. The basket ball season started out bad for the Hi. S. boys, as they had a hard time in securing a hall and when they did get one it was rather small, yet they made the best of it. The line-up was as follows: Louden, right forward, Kalkwarf, left for- ward , Lehman, captain, center, Good, left guard, Monk, manager, right guard. The tirst game was with Minonk, score 40-7 in favor of Minonk. Then Rutland handed out two defeats to the Flanagan team, scores 17-15 and 25-21. The next game was played with Saunemin. F. H. S. defeating Saunemin by a score of 17-6. The last game of the season was with Cullom. The result Was that Cullom lost.thezfirstsgafnreatheyghhadalostsfilllingathefgseagvn,sseores259935:.1..,L.
