NORTH MANCHESTER North Manchester gave us a return visit February 14 and along with it an honorable defeat. We met a different crew than we had de- feated previously, but to their surprise they met a fighting crew which would not be defeated only by the strongest fighting. SWEETSER With the season coming to an end we paid Swcetscr a friendly visit in the form of a Basketball game. The game wa: hotly contested with fouls very prevalent. At the half the score was T2-'23 in our favor, but we were edged out of a victory by a foul in the last second of the game. PENDLETON February 21 on behalf of the high school, the Tiger crew gave the Pendleton boys an interesting defeat, 31-29, to get revenge from the de- feat of last year, thus ending the scheduled games for the '29-'30 season. 0 . TRACK Track season opened immediately after the basketball season ended. Many men turned out in track togs to try to bring glory to G. C. H. S. A track and field meet was held between the classes, in which the Juniors were the winners. A large banner was presented to the winners. Field meets were held with Jonesboro, Montpelier and Swayzee. We also participated in the county meet at Marion. Much more emphasis has been placed on track this year than form- erly, and we hope that with the material that's left, Coach Phares will develop a team next year that will surpass this year's team. Every team is coached to win. Winning is one of the objectives of the game, but the boys and the school as a whole are taught that for every winner there must be a loser, and that there may be as much or more honor in losing than in winning. The boys are taught to play the game hard and fair. They are taught to train hard, work hard, and play hard, and if they be losers, they will lose like true sportsmen. o PROSPECTS FOR 1930-31 BASKETBALL SEASON The year of l29 and '30 was a successful one for the Cas City Tigers. With three veterans to start the season, a combination was whipped into a machine that won eleven out of the twenty games on the regular schedule. In the sectional, the Tigers won their game in the first round by a score of 40-14, and were defeated by Marion in the second round by 7 points. Although the services of Vironet, the Atkinson Brothers. Stanley, and Peterson will be greatly missed next season, Coach Phares is optimistic concerning the outlook for next year's team. With Adrianson and Crosby as a nucleus around which to build, along with the services of Wetzel, Simpkins, Dailey, Spence, Ross, the Curtises, Stanley and others, prospects for a winning team seem assured. 3 Q 1 9 3 0
