GTRLS' ATH LIETIC NOTES The Girls' basketball team was not very successful this year. Having lost three of their regular players last year, it left them only three regulars for the team. Ten games were played, all of them un- successful as far as the score went. How- ever, in many of the games our girls showed some good playing, and in all of the games showed line sportsmanship. Several games were very close. The following girls represented Hodg- don High School on the floor this year: Thelma Turney, Capt., Verna Benson, Mgr. Geneva Adams, Madeline Herron, Hope Alward, Marion ,Merritt, and Electa Corson. Two games were played with Patten, Island Falls, Sherman, and Vlfytopitlock, and one with Springfield, and Ricker Classical Institute. BOYSl BASKETBALL The boys' basketball team had a yery successful season. They won six games and lost nine. This was the first year a full schedule had been played. There was a very small squad out for basketball. The team made a good showing at the hrst of the season. They won four games out of the hrst six. From this time on the team was broken up due to sickness and loss of the regular centre. Capt. Fish'l Herron at right forward was high point man, doing some excellent shooting in every game. He was especi- ally strong on Hoor work. Manager Brit- ton at left forward played a fine game throughout the season. He is small but very quick, turn passing nicely and shoot- ing well. Frank Benn and Leon Benn made a good combination as guards, both doing very well on defensive work. Bob jenkins, our tall strong center left us in the height of the season. His good team work as well as his hearty smile was hard to lose. He always played a fast but clean game of basketball. Howard, Nightingale and Rhoda sub- stituted well, all doing good work on the floor. Both Howard and Nightingale played regular during the latter part of the season.
