u. ..g..g.. .... Athletics The opening of the baseball season starts the athletic functions at Huntington Township. The two leading athletic sports at Township are basketball and baseball. Since football and track are not included in the athletic sports, two baseball seasons are scheduled, one in the spring and one in the fall. An added interest has been taken toward baseball since the organiza- tion of a County Baseball League, in which all county teams compete. The coaches of the various teams meet and plan a schedule so that each school plays a certain number of games at a specified date. There are also rules and regulations to govern the teams that are members of the League. A baseball trophy is presented to the school winning in the County League games. The trophy is a circulating one, unless a team wins it three COllS9Clltl'.'Q years, under which condition the team's school keeps the trophy. Township has won the County League trophy two consecutive years and is hoping for another victory next fall. Plans are also being made to hold a baseball tournament in the spring each year. With the completion of the baseball season the interest centers around basketball. The basketball season always attracts much attention from the students, especially the ones who try out for the varsity team. The basketball season gets underway during the latter part of October and ex- tends to the last of February. No team is allowed to play more than twenty games during a season. A Noon League was formed for the boys who were not fortunate enough to make the first or second team. Any boy who is not a member of the first or second teams is eligible to play in the Noon League if he cares to do so. The games in the Noon League are played during the noon period every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The girls' basketball team was not organized this year, due to the fact that a sufficient number of coaches of the county schools could not meet the requirements that are necessary before they are allowed to coach. Therefore, a Noon League basketball team was also organized for the girls. These games are played during the first part of the noon period. When the basketball season was completed and the Sectional Tourna- ment was over, the students turned their attention to the class tourna- ment, the first two weeks of March. A keen rivalry exists among the various classes of the school, and the class tournament caused much ex- citement among the students. The closing of the spring baseball season draws the curtain on the athletic activities, and they are laid aside until the opening of the school term the following year. . ...g..g.u
