I I I TFb P A Rd I of I L ISi Review of The Season St. Paris 48-Rosewood 6 RALPH BRECOUNT Brecount playing the position of guard for two years has prov- ed to be a very valuable man on the squad. Brecount has one more year. JACK HEASTON The Rosewool-St. Paris game proved to be one of the most uninteresting games played during the en- tire season. At no time were we given any opposi- tion what ever. Every man on the squad saw action at the last quarter. The score ended 48 to 6 in our favor. St. Paris 29—Alumni 17 The Alumni as usual, put up a fairly good fight, but as was expected came out on the losing end. How- ever, they were one of the few teams that scored over 10 points during the entire season. Heaston is one of the few Sophomores to make the squad. He has performed wonderfully during the season and will be heard from in the next two years. St. Paris 35—Westville 11 On New Year’s night, the squad started out the New Year very appropriately by handing Westville the short end of a 35-10 count. The offense was clicking perfectly and by one field goal, which West- ville got from the center of the floor, one could readily see the defense was running very steadily also. LOREN McINTURFF Mclnturff because of sickness was held from the squad for several weeks, but his absence was soon accounted for by his accurate shooting. Mack is a Junior. St. Paris 23—Urbana 10 According to the Urbana Democrat, the Urbana fans were forced to spend a very unpleasant evening litre on January 4, when Conch Winters’ cagers hand- ed Urbana the short end of a 23 to 10 score. Now our theory on this matter is a little different. They were not really forced to spend a miserable eve- ning at all. The only thing necessary to remedy this situation would have been for the Maroon and White to add a few more field baskets, foul goals, etc. to their already small sum of 10 points. 35

 P A Rd T p I M COACH WINTERS In his two years as director of athletics and coach at St. Paris high school, William Winters has made an enviable record of consistent success. He has pro- duced two championship basket ball teams and one winning track team. A man of higty character and recognized ability, Coach Win- ters has by his sincerity and loy- alty raised high the name of St. Paris, in the athletic world and earned for himself the admira- tion and support of all St. Paris students, alumni and friends. Mr Winters Although being given a lot of material upon his coming to this high school, no little credit should be given Mr. Winters for his success as head coach of our high school. His teams of the past two years are probably as successful or even more so than any team in the history of the high school. We, the Seniors, class of 1929, wish to extend our thanks to him for his untiring efforts and interest in all athletic events. St. Paris 17--Westville 11 The opener at Westville on Thanksgiving night was played as could be expected in a rather unsystemiz- ed manner, the playirg space not being large enough to wavrent the players freedom to move around with any degree of safety whatsoever, although the Yellow and Black showed signs of becoming a very fast and aggressive team. As the season went on this proved to be a realty. CHARLES APPLE Red was honored with the cap- taincy of the members of the squad and bids fair to become one of the few centers to make all county and district center. Rel is a Junior. ROGER PROCTER Procter was a consistent and hard passing guard during the season. To him goes the re- ward of all county guard. Proc- ter is a Senior. St. Paris 33—Lena Conover 11 On the evening of December 7, Lena-Conover boys and girls played hosts to our noble athletes on their own floor. Quite a crowd of St. Paris rooters were on hand to witness the event where the squad crippled by the flu epidemic, admininstered a sound beating, and our boys returned home with the long end of a tripled count, 33-11. St. Paris 32-Springfield High School Reserves 10 Expecting a stiff fight, our boys were much sur- prised to find things easy sledding as they pounded out another victory this time by a 32-10 score. This game served as a very valuable practice for our squad not being used to the freedom in arching their shots. 34

'I H E9 P . A ' Ro T oT I' 1 Review of The Season HAROLD HOWARD Howard, substitute forward and guard has made a good ac- count of himself by stopping very long passes and for his hard fighting during the season. How- ard is a Junior. St. Paris 24---Springfield Business College 10 The eighth straight victory was added to our list when we downed Springfield Business College in a hard fought battle. The opponents threatened to take the lead at the out set but they soon took a dif- ferent attitude and decided that they were not classy enough for the front row. KERMIT KITE Kite, substitute forward, has been a very valuable member of the squad, his fast team work and passing shows that we will | hear from Kite next year. Kite is a Junior. ALONZO CLEM Clem, substitute forward, has been a member of the squad for two years. He is fast and with a little more experience will be- come a valuable member of the squad next year. Clem is a Junior. St. Paris 29—Lawrenceville 12 What had been predicted as to be one of the hardest games and a probable defeat for our boys, proved to be a walk away in every respect. The game was slow and we never were in danger of the pre- dicted defeat. St. Paris 19—Jackson 7 The first game of the season with Jackson, was no more than a foot ball game played in basket ball uniforms. The condition of the floor prevented St. Paris from showing any style at all. St. Paris 31—Concord 17 This game was played at the Urbana Community Club floor. Concord did not show the opposition that was expected against St. Paris. The game was slow, due to the club floor. The score was always in favor of St. Paris the from start to the finish. 36
