SCHOOL BELL ECHOES Page 19 384 points to opponents ' 340 points. They failed to lose to an out of the county team but found county competition a little tougher. The second team came through with flyin-g colors, winning well over half of their games. In the sectional tournament we drew one of the strongest teams in the county, Nappanee. Using their height to advantage they beat J. H. S. ' s best 35 to 9. Nappanee then went to the finals, only to b e nosed out hy Elkhart ' s fast Blue Blazers. We regret to say that Maurice Sawyer, For- est Albright, Carlysle Moore and James Replo- gle will not be with us next year, ' but we sin- cerely hope that the varsity team will have just as good a season or even better one next year. The Senior boys recently received their honor sweaters for their services on the ibas- ketball team. Instead of the usual Maroon sweaters with white letter, this year the boys received a white sweater with Maroon stripes and letter. Those receiving first team letters were: Jack Bradley, Leonard Kern -and Nor- man Moore. Second team letters were pre- sented to John Frank, Glenn McCreary, Wayne Cook, Lynn Bradley, Kenneth Mann, Millard Moore, and Daniel Cook. The first team letters were 8-inch Maroon and white, while the sec- ond team letters were 6-inch Maroon and white. This is the game summary of the 1930-31 Varsity team: J. H. S 18 — 14 Bristol J. H. S 17—10 Alumni J. ,H. S 28 — 3 Vandalia J. H. S 10—21 Wakarusa J. H. S 5 — 25 Concord J. -H. S 7 — 17 Millerslburg J. H. S 21 — 9 Madison J. ,H. S 12 — 14 Wakarusa J. iH. S 7 — 26 New Paris J. H.

S 16—22 Concord The school extend their sincere apprecia- tion for the fans ' very loyal support during the basketball season. CHAMPIONS Baseball certainly is one sport that has Ibeen mastered by old J. H. S. Thi s has been proven by the fact that the boys failed to lose a game of their six-game schedule. In the fall of 1930 about 25 boys answered the call of Coach Lowell Sheets for baseball. This is the first sport of the year and everyone came out trying hard to make the team or squad. Coach Sheets found a good receiver of the pill in Jack Bradley, while Bus Albright twirled effectively all year. Earl McLaughlin held ' down first and Carlysle Moore second. Tiny Moore played shortstop and Lynn Brad- la- stopped the hot ones around third. Leon- ard Kern, Daniel Cook and Ellsworth Martin were assigned the fly chasing positions. When substitutions were necessary they were taken care of by J. Replogle, M. Sawyer, J. Frank, G. McCreary, J. Moore, W. Cook and R. Molebash. Winning all their .County games entitled the team to the permanent possession of a silve r loving cup, which signifies the champions of Elkhart County Valley League. This beautiful cup was presented to the school by Mr. Gerber, principal of the Wakarusa High School. The Wilson Sporting Goods Co. sponsored the trophy. The summary of the season ' s record is as follows : J. H. S 23 J. H. S 9 J. H. S 10 J. H. S 2 J. H. S 6 Bristol -- 2 Millersburg 0 Middleibury 1 Wakarusa - 1 New Paris .-. - 2 Concord — Forfeit. TRACK Coach Sheats has high hopes of going places and doing things, with his track team this year as he had a very successful season last year and lost only one man by graduation. Twenty boys are hard at work trying to make the team. The first meet will be with Wakarusa on April 10th. On April 17, James- town will sponsor the County track and field meet. !|( GIRLS ' BASKETBALL With our new gym came a call from the girls for a ibasketball team. So a team was formed under the auspices of Coach Sheets. They played several games this year and as all the members of the team will be back next year a better season is anticipated. Here ' s to you, girls, for a good season in 1931-32.

They produce clear-eyed, clean, healthy boys and g-irls. They are an incentive i-o concentrated work on studies. To play on a team the pupils must have good grades and they cannot get good grades without studying. Athletics de- velop quick thinking and strong .bodies, and they improve the character of the player as well as that of the whole school. They pro- mote school spirit and a friendly sportsman- ship between opposing schools. In athletics, cooperation, teamwork and fair play are three essentials that are absolutely necessary. Usually if a player once learns these he does not forget them after leaving the school. They are not only necessary in school games, ' but also in the -game of life. REVIEW OF 1930-31 BASKETBALL SEASON At the beginning of the 1930-31 ibasketball season about 40 fellows came out to try their skill at basketball in our splendid new gym. A gym that the whole school is proud of from the fact that they have cooperated nicely in taking care of it and everyone has taken an interest in this new gymnasium. Six lettermen returned and served as the mainstays for Coach Sheet ' s varsity quintet. After careful supervision of the Coach the Sfjuad was thinned out to about 17 boys. The first team consisted of N. Moore, guard; Moore, forward; J. Replogle, forward; F. Albright, center; J. Bradley, forward; M. Saw- yer, guard; and L. Kern, forward. The rest of the squad making up the second team were: W. Cook, G. McCreary, J. Frank, L. Bradley, J. Moore, G. Clark, D. Cook, K. Mann, and M. Baker. The varsity finished a very successful sea- son from the standpoint that they won 11 and lost 9 games for an average of .550 and totaled C. 4
