'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

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

'1 II Ed P A I Ro T or I 9f W Review of The Season HOWARD McCLIMANS Substitute guard, this is his first year on the squad, with more experience he should be- come a good guard for future years. McClimans is a Sopho- more. DORRAL BERRY Substitute guard, who like Mc- Climans, this was his first year on the squad. He will make a good guard. Berry is also a Sophomore. ROBERT GOODE Robert Goode, as manager of athletics, deserves much credit for his interest and efficient work in all athletic events. St. Paris 23—Urbana 18 Before a capacity crowd the Yrellow and Black took its second game from Urbana and made its twelfth straight win. This was perhaps the hardest fought game of the season—as both teams were so evenly matched that it required an over time period to settle the dispute. However, with the accurate shooting of Breeount and Apple in the last, forty-five seconds of the overtime we were able to gain a five point lead, which spelled a victory of 23 to 18. St. Paris 30—Jackson 6 This was an uninteresting game played at St. Faris and was very slow in spots. Apple was high score man with 8 points. St. Paris 35—-Concord 11 St. Paris took their second game from Concord, February 8. Our boys took an early start in the game and were never threatened by the visitors. The game was one-sided as the score shows. Piqua 25--St. Paris 21 St. Paris five suffered its first defeat at Pipua, February 9, by the score of 25 to 21. The inability to hit the basket spelled defeat for our boys. Piqua displayed strong offensive and defensive playing. St. Paris 60-Anna 20 Anna’s reported fast high school team failed to make much of a showing Saturday night, January 19, on the local floor, being defeated by the score of 60-20 by the St. Paris boys. High scorer was Apple, who I made 18 points. 37
