ATHLETICS The athletic season of 1017 18 opened with unusual interest and much enthusi asm. A number of our old “stars” did not return, hut our confidence was kept alive by the good showing of tin- many newcomers who made up the teams. In the Academy football squad, only two of the players were of last year's team. Almost in the middle of the season. Conch George Bryce left its and undertook the training of the Armstrong foot hull team of the Capitol City. The training of our men which followed was lacking in intensity and thoroughness. Our football squad was not the invincible team of former years. Out of six games played during the season, we lost three, tied two. and won one. The doss of '18 was represented by S. 1 . Williams. Leo Bryant, F. L). Williams. Win. Green. In this popular midwinter game the Academy is not lacking in democratic representation. We have a girl’s basketball team under the coaching of Miss Euola Daniels, and under the captaincy ef Miss Lorraine Davis. About the campus the reputation of the team is high. The interelass games played by those girls were not without interest and excitement. Here is a “line up” of tin team; Lorraine Davis, captain; Ruth Graves. Annahelle Steele. Weida Wallace, Irma Neal. Eva Haugabook. Theodosia Turner, Edna Lewis. Minnie Thompson, Mozclla Lewis. The class of 'is was represented by Irma Neal, Edna Lewis, and Lorraine Davis. Although they brought home no spotaeular victories, the Isiyx basket hall team did good work. Here's a “line-up” of the team: E. I) Williams, W. Smith, and C. S. Skinner, guards; I . E. Hardwick and II. V. Plummer, centers; .1. V. Young. R. R. Taylor, Win. Green, forwards; all of the class of ’18. The familiar “whack” resounded on the diamond on the first warm day of the spring.. From the interest and agility shown by tIn players, there is much promise of a good baseball season. F. D. Williams Track 26
