T ff Football . gl Y Ml. - g 5 Football is now a new sport introduced to Houtzdale High and H. H. S. intends to have a football team next fall. It was rather late last fall,-October 26th, when we organized a football team. For the next two weeks about twenty volunteers turned out for practice. Prof. Howe was our coach and hetsoon made a fair team out of a gang that knew very little about football., pTwo games were played-the first with Woodward when H. H. S. won 24-0. The second wth Coalport result- ing in a win for H. H. S. 25-0. H. H. S. if - ' . l S Qs Baseball Baseball was Houtzdale High Schoo1's first sport. Last fall H. H. S. had a very good baseball team that won four games out of live. We won from Woodward High four times straight. and all the games be- tween H. H. S. and W. H. S. were very interesting. Woodward seemed to be our only competitors in baseball, for it was too hardlto get another team into town or go out of town to play. We succeeded in getting Madera H. S. down here to play us. This was the best game of baseball we played last season although we were defeated by a score' of 10 to 9. -53.- .3 .T 1-F I l .wa-4 fa.-Lf' ' , . 5 -T . . A

g THE JACK O' LANTERN gain IQ -W ajax Basket Ball Houtzdale High School opened their basket ball season of 25-26 very successfully and kept up at a high ,rate of speed until the last game away from home, with Bellefonte. If they would have won this 'game it is likely that they wouldihave won the Mountain League Cup. But unfortunately they lost it. This happened to be the second time that Houtzdale High was so unfortunate as to lose the cup in the last game or two. The tirst time was in'the season. of 23-24 when their last league game decided the championship and they lost it. This season our boys -put up a hard battle in every game: only in one game didi the opponents succeed in givng our boys a bad beating. In the othergames the score was very close and tied as high as a dozen times during a single game. And also twice they lost games when their opponents dropped a basket in the last 15 or 20 seconds. No matter how far behind or how far ahead our boys were--they never thought of giving up. They took- a defeat as cheerfully as a victory for they knew it was only a good team that could stand a beat- lflg. : Herewith -is presented a brief summary of the games played during the season- 5 ..v.
