BASKETB LL X Hack Row: lsert, liory, Bircher, Pfeiffer, Koch, Hartlieb, Zeller, Coach Nvhitc. Front Row: Earnhart, Duft, Allrlridge, Loyet, Alcli, Dubach, Keilbach. Coach White inaugurated the otficial 1934-35 basketball sea-son on Nov. 12, by issuing a call for recruits to that great sport. Of the twenty men who responded at the start of the season, the following were selected for the first team: Loyet, Earnhart, L. Alldridge, Keilbach, Bircher, E. Duft, Alch, Lory, and Dubach. Horace Loyet, a senior. captained the basket bah team this year. Horace is a good, dependable player on both offense and defense. Whenever the score was tied or close, it was usually Horace who came through and dipped the ball through the basket for a win or a tie, or a starting rally. Paul Earnhart carried off top honors for individual points Scored and for fouls com- mitterl. He had a. grand total of 159 points and 52 fouls. The past season has not been an excellent one, but the boys tried their best to make it so. In the National Trail Conference, Highland won one-third of its games. In the three tournaments in which Highland participated, they won their first game each time, but lost to stronger teams in the -second round of play. Highland went to two invitational tourna- ments, one at Mascoutah, and one at Troy, and to the District Tournament at Wood River. ln the annual city game between Highland High School and St. Paul, Highland still kept its record clean by defeating them 31-17. Many of us do not stop to realize how much we are indebted to Mr. White, who tills the re- sponsible position of high school principal. Mr. White also teaches science, and coaches the basketball and track teams, His influence in the class room and on the athletic iields is re- sponsible for our high standard of sportsmanship.
