4 PG DD C16 OC: WO E tl 4' 1 fr 16320 .1 A Review ofthe Basket Ball Season Although this year's team was not expected to equal the record set by last year's team, they upset the dope-bucket, making the best record of any team in the history of the Indiana Masonic Home High School by winning fourteen out of sixteen games. Much of the credit is due to the untiring efforts of our coach, Dale Jamison, who has helped to make the seventh page of our basket ball history the best that has yet been written. The school supported the team and they did their best. The cheering was very good, thanks to the splendid work of Laura Duffy. Oct. 25-The Home basket ball squad started the season off by defeat- ing Union in a double header. Although it was the initial game for four members of the first five, they handled themselves like veterans, defeating Union 30-25. In the preliminary game the Home seconds defeated Union seconds 29-12. Nov. 1-The next victim to meet defeat at the hands of the Home machine was the Clark crew 28-19. Although the Home team was handi- capped by a small floor they made up for it by a few colorful shots and a strong defense. Nov. 2-The Home team continued their winning streak by defeating the tall and husky Avon five, who tripped and fell to the tune of a 39-27 score. It was a game replete with thrills and hard-fought to the finish. This game showed what the boys had in them as the team swung into mid- season form. Nov. 8-Although the Home team got a delayed start they finally got going, playing a real brand of ball and leaving Beech Grove on the short end of a 38-24 victory. The game was featured by many long colorful shots by both teams. The second team scored another victory in the preliminary by defeating Beech Grove seconds, 23-5. Nov. 9-After breaking down the stubborn defense of our second team with a barrage of baskets and some clever passing, the Franklin seconds won a fast, hard-fought 38-15 victory. Nov. 22-Oh, at last our Waterloo capitulated us. Ben Davis romped us on the Bridgeport floor. We played with hard luck, the boys were simply off on shooting and the defense was a bit ragged. Enough saidg Ben Davis won, 50-27. The seconds defeated the B-en Davis seconds 20-11, in the curtain raiser. Nov. 23-The squad visited Hope, playing them in the Petersville gym which was somewhat abbreviated. Although we won 23-18, we had an awful time trying to find adequate space to move in. The second team won over the Hope seconds by defeating them in the last seconds of play, 22-1'8. Nov. 27-Trafalgar was an easy victim for the Home crew, fighting hard aided them in coming as close as they did. Home won, 75-25.

3 re en MOHOHI en as Qi Dec. 7-The next high spot was when the team and band dropped in on the City of Basketeers -Fort Wayne, and played the North Side Redskins. The game proved to be rough but by skillful diplomacy we man- aged to get out without an escort of grey vehicles in mourning. At any rate, they didn't bluff us with their Roman tactics, as we actually stole a hard fought game to the tune of 35-21. The boys were sure treated royal while in Fort Wayne. Dec. 13- Plenty hot was no name for the Home squad when they played the Greenwood Woodsmen on the Home floor.
