-107' BASKET BALL . - COURTLAND MEUSER Capt. Basket Ball Team The foot ball season having been closed, the next thing which occupied the minds of the G. H. S. athletics, was, whether to have a basket ball team or not. A meeting of the Athletic Association was then called and the question was brought be- fore the association and discussed. It was finally decided to have one, and a captain and manager were elected. Abasket ball was bought and the candidates for the team tried. ,The first game was a practice game with Co. L, 8th 0. N. G. Owing to lack of practice and the game being new to the majority of the players, the High School lost. After this the team played several games with Co. L, but managed to suffer defeat each time. During the Christmas holidays a game was played with a team composed of some of the alumni, and again we went down to defeat. During all this time we were allowed to practice in the Armory, the only suitable place in town, about once a month or whenever Co. L were willing to let us. The first game with an out of town team was with Marion High School, the Marion team proved too much for the G. H. S. team and again we .met defeat by a score of 56 to 5. In this game it was conclusively shown that all the G. H. S. team lacked was prac- tice. We next went to Mansfield and played the High School team of that city. Here we met still greater defeat, the score being 89 to 16. Then Mar- ion came to Gallon, and this time we improved on our playing somewhat and were defeated by a score of 26 to 6. Then Co. L decided that they would no longer allow us to play in the Armory, and we had to cancel the return game with Mansfield. Though we lost every game it was not entirely due to the fault of the players, but our lack of practice. There are probably just as many good basket ball players in the G. H. S. as in other schools but they cannot be developed when there is no place' to practice. It is to be hoped that next year the G. H. S. team will find a place in which to play and redeem itself by defeating all its opponents. BASKET BALL Diamond, L. F. Marsh, R. F. C. Meuser, Capt., C. H. Meuser, R. G. Hackedorn, L. G. SCORES G.
