□ BTHE AEOLIAN 1921 0 A SUMMARY The first call for candidates for the basketball team was issued during the last week of December. Because of the delay in securing the Eagles’ Home our boys had only two days’ practice prior to the Waterloo contest. (Nevertheless the quintet made a splendid showing. The first five games of the season were staged away from home and by these contests the Garrett five was rounded into excellent condition. The first home game played against Bluffton proved that Garrett would witness a series of thrilling basketball struggles. In the eleven home games the Maroon and Blue lost only two contests and an examination of the summary for the season reveals that fifty per cent of the games were victories. Garrett was defeated in its first tourney contest by the fast five from Flint. Our boys had maintained a comfortable lead until the last two minutes of the period when Flint forged ahead and snatched the victory from us. The Garrett boys played a consistent and clean game throughout the season and succeeded in winning the admiration and undivided support of the community. When measured by the ordinary standards the boys’ season was successful but the achievements of the girls’ team were probably more noteworthy than those of the boys. At the beginning of the year there was no opportunity for practice and many times experience could only be gained by practice games at the Auburn Y. M. C. A. Nevertheless the girls’ aggregation became the most formidable opponent of the teams in Northern Indiana. The first few out of town conflicts were lost by very small margins but these defeats were completely eclipsed by the spectacular victories over Monroeville, Kendallville and Auburn. Undoubtedly the last struggle against Auburn on the latter’s floor was the most famed contest in which our high school teams have ever participated. The Decatur girls’ team had issued a challenge to successful Indiana basketball organizations. Garrett scheduled a game with Decatur here but the challengers cancelled their contest a few hours before it was to have been played. The entire community took great pride in the accomplishments of our girls’ team. Unquestionably our girls were the equal of any basket tossers in Indiana. CAPTAIN STEWARD Waterloo, 32.
