BASEBALL ACCOUNTS The boys got to play more baseball together this year because they entered a summer league formed with teams o the surrounding area. Our summer season was very successful as we won five and lost only one. This one loss was t Delavan when only half of our varsity team was there. The Frosh-Soph team did a fine job of subbing for the varisty but the powerful Delavan team couldn't be stopped. The fall season was even more successful. The Braves made a sweep of nine games scheduled and three in the Abe Lincoln Tourney, They brought home two beautiful trophies fo the Abe Lincoln and Mason County Championships, GAMES Forman 11 Kilboume 1 Forman 5 San Jose 4 Forman 8 Easton 4 Forman 13 Athens 5 Forman 9 Bath 3 Forman 12 Easton 3' Forman 4 Mason City 2 Forman 13 Greenview 3' ' ABE LINCOLN TOURNAMENT GAMES Forman 7 Mason City 4 BATTLING AVERAGES Player -I's -A.

Forman did very well in basketball this year. After showing great promise in the first game against Bath, the Brave took four straight before losing their first in the season to Athens. The next game was one of the most important games of the season. With Coach Brodman called home because o the death of his mother, Mr. Lawlis took over coaching duties against Easton, The first half of this game was a clost battle, but after a good rest at halftime, they took the game an captured the Green Duck, After this game the Braves lost to Havana and then took an easy one from Hopedale. The sailing wasr1't so good for a while after the Hopedale game. The Braves lost two straight, one to Delavan, ant the other to Mason City. y losing to Mason City, we also lost possession of the Green Duck, Forman then took another mage from Bath before the County Tourney. The Braves fared pretty well in the Toumey. Our first game was with San Jose. lt was a tough battle all the way With about four seconds left, Parker Lawlis, on a nice pass from Coonie Golden, sank one to break a 45-45 tie. B1 defeating San Jose, the Braves recaptured the Green Duck,
