word of encouragement. Another noticeable characteristic of this year's team is the sports- manship shown by the Comets in every game in which they participated. We have gained compliments from many teams, because of this sportsmanlike conduct, and we believe that it is more important to get this kind of compliment for the school than to win games. At the conclusion of the season, I9 letters were awarded to: R. Winstanley, E. Green, T. Clark, E.. Bouck, L. Gates, A. Kane, D. Goodsell, W. Holmes, C. lmhoff, G. Wilson, J. Anderson, C. Shane, H. Wilson, T. Carter, W. Carter, E.. Smith, W. Flitton, N. lVlcDon- ough, and jorgenson. 1 The honorary captain elected was Wally' Holmes, who also received honorable men- tion on the all-state team.

Comets Win Basketball League Championship Carrying on from where the football champs left off, the Comets came through with a league record of nine wins and one defeat. This en- abled them to be the undisputed champions, which up to the last of the season, had been a tie with Charlotte. lt is a good thing Coach Szasz went to school with Lyle Rockenback, for it was his Howell team that beat Charlotte and enabled us to win the championship. A great deal of the success of the team was due to the cooperation and teamwork of every individual. Another big incentive was the will to win, which was exemplified through- out the season. We feel that this will to win was brought about by the improved school spirit, which was so noticeable during the basketball season. Three seniors will be lost to the team next year. They are Kwant, W. Holmes and E.. Nostrant. The loss of these three will be much more keenly felt than in football, for they composed the backbone of the team. Only two regulars are left and they are R. Winstanley and B. Carter. Of the reserves, those that have the best chance of breaking into next year's line-up are C. lmhoff, D. Good- sell, G. Gibbs, C. Dick, G. lVlcDaniels and T. Clark. The individual scoring honors went to Wally Holmes who scored 150 points in I4 games, for an average of better than I0 points per game, which is quite an achievement for any high school player.
