Basketball f f f Boys The past year was tops for the boys' basketball, and very effectively demonstrated the advantage of using only a minimum number of players. Outranking even the fast, rangy team of 1932, which reached the semi-finals in the tournament, the boys went on to the inals this year and for over half the game seriously threatened to upset the champion Tarbox team. With the exception of Woolfolk who served only as a substitute the scoring was pretty well divided up to make a point total of 476 in 20 games. Ward set a record high by scoring 168 points, Cartwright 104, Cothern 67, Bowker 55, Miller 38, Wright 26, Wheeler 16, Woolfolk 3. In 10 games played in the regular season and tournament they won 8 and lost 2, scoring an average of 24 points to their opponents 16. In 10 extra games with teams of high school rank they won 5 and lost 5' making a total of 13 won to 7 lost. Two other games were won by forfeit. H. H. 14 ..... East S H. H. 17 ..... H. F. B's 18 H.

The football squad started oil: the season with a bang defeating Brown school by a score of 39 to O, the highest score ever run up by a Highland Heights team. The second week, however found the star tackle quiting school and the disorganized conf dition lasted the rest of the year. In spite of their size the boys as a whole were too green and incompletely equipped to cope with better trained teams. In one respect they outdid their rivals though, they played nine games in the sixfweeks season, which was two more than any other school played. ' The outstanding players were Miller, Wright, Cothern, and Bowker in the line, and Cartwright, Wheeler, and Benedict in the backiield. H. H. 39 ...... Brown 0 H. H. 0 . . . . . East 26 H. H.

Basketball f f f Girls s The girls started off well with a victory over the strong East team 30 to 19, but in the next few games the regular lineup was broken up by sickness and the breaks of the games all favored the opposing teams. During the latter part of the season they began to work together again and won several more games before the close of the year. Elizabeth McClellan wasby far the outstanding player, and the entire team depended on her for its play. She set a school record by scoring 142 points. Other outstanding players were Verda Pearson, Nita Groth, and Anna Ruth Blankenship. Of a total of 14 games they won S and tied 1. Four other games were lost by less than 6 points and with a little luck might very easily been added to the win column. The team was seriously handicapped through out the year by the loss of most of its experienced players by graduation and transferance to other schools or some other cause. A total of 10 players were so lost before the end of the season. H. H. 30 ..... East 19 H. H. 25 . . . . Cavert 31 H. H. 19 . . . . Tarbox 29 H. H. 2 . . . . Clemons 0 fforj, H. H. 17 . . . .
