'fe 2 The Season The I9ZI-l92Z basket ball season has been a highly successful one for Green and White followers of the in- door sport. It has been a season of many thrills, and the fast G. H. S. team has met and defeated some of the best teams in this part of the state. Seldom have so many close games been seen here in one season. Several of the games were undecided until the final minutes of play, but Captain l..ephart's men had lots of pep, and the real fighting spirit, and were seldom nosed out of the finish. It would be difficult to name any particular game as best, but the games with Ansonia, Bradford, Gettysburg and Troy were perhaps the hardest fought games of the season. The opening game of the season was played at Day- ton with the fast Stivers quintet, last year's championship team of Ohio. The Green and White team was outclassed and lost the game, but not before they had put up a good, hard fight. Ansonia furnished opposi- tion to the team in their first home game of the season, and had to be content with the short end of a Zl to I9 score. The Green and White team journeyed over to Tippecanoe City's territory, and although defeated in a very fast game, nevertheless they put up a very creditable exhibition of basket ball. Bradford offered little oppcsition to the local pill tossers, and an easy decision over them, on the home Hoor, was secured, but the following week end Piqua copped a hard fought encounter at Piqua. Arcanum next appeared in the Green and Xvhite territory, and put up a good game, but were forced to take home a defeated team. The Zl-l 7 extra time Bradford game was one of the most thrilling contests of the season. The G. H. S. team had little difficulty in disposing of the Versailles quintet, and easily annexed another win to their list. Ansonia planned on an easy victory over Greenville High at the time of their annual High School Bazaar, but G. H. S. surprised them, and for the first time in several years defeated the Ansonia team on their home floor. The tilt with Gettysburg was perhaps the fastest game on the home floor, and the local team came strong in the last few minutes of the play and won another victory. New Madison was easily disposed of, and the last home game of the season ended with a 35 to I0 victory over the fast Troy aggregation. This year marks the close of the High School basket ball career of five of the members of the team, Captain Lephart, Clark, Jenlcinson, Coppess and Rehmert. All of these men lcave enviable records behind them, and it will be hard to fill the vacancies made by them. Several members of this year's team will be left, and with an abundance of clever Freshman material from which to pick, another successful season seems assured. 99
