Girl’s Basket Ball Much interest has been shown in former years in girls’ basket ball of St. Paris high school, but this year the girls exceeded all expectation and won the re- spect of their followers. The girls’ team finally reached the high goal which they have striven to attain in these former years by winning the county tournament. The first game of the season, the team journeyed to Westville, where they were defeated by the score of 49 to 9. As this was their first game of the season, they had no picked team and thus it re- sulted in this bad defeat. Next game they visited Lena-Conover, where the brilliant plays and passwork of the team caused them to bring home vic- tory with a score of 27-16. The third game was played at home with Rosewood and our girls won an easy victory of 30 to 7. Westville again made their appearance against our girls on New Years and proved to be the superior team by defeating them with a score of 25 to 1. Two more victories are to be credited to S. P. H. S., where they beat Springfield Business College 12 to 14 and Jackson at Jackson, 7 to 23. The next game they journeyed to Ur- bana and beat the strong Concord sextet by a score of 25 to 15. The following Friday, Jackson played at our school and they again suffered de- feat by our maidens with a score of 8 to 17. The last game of the season and the last one at home was played between Con- cord and our team. Here the girls again showed their superiority over Concord with a score of 10 to 21. The following week every one of the players observed the training rules and went through such hard practice for it was the week preceding the tournament. Through the drawing, the girls’ first opponents were the Rosewood maidens and showing the same fight they have had all year, Rosewood was defeated by 12 to 27. In the afternoon of the same day they played Urbana Twp. and also took (Continued to page 60) 40

qr H I19 IP A Rp I of I £ L II i Baseball Sitting—Loren Mclnturff, Jack Heaston, Alonzo Clem, Ralph Brecount, Robert Purk. Standing—Coach Winters, Charles Apple, John Hunt, Garner Stradling, Robert Han back, Manager Robert Goode. Early in September with the good baseball days ahout over Coach Winters whipped together a team of unknown prowess, being built around four veteran players, Apple, Clem, Hunt and Brecount. Finding it hard to fill the holes in the in- field, due to the graduation of Zirkle, Mil- dleton and Licklider, several experiments were tried to determine who would hold down these places. It was finally decided to use Apple at first, Mclnturff at second and Garner Strad- ling, a promising recruit at the hot corner. Heaston, who is only a Sophomore, has proved to be quite a ball hawk around the short stop position, robbing many a play- er of what he thought to be a sure hit. Captain Brecount was the individual ace in the pitching corps, leading the county in a number of strike outs. He is also a very dangerous hitter. A weakness in the gar- dens, namely the lack of customary punch proved to be of no benefit for many times a properly inserted bingle would have turned the trick bringing in some of the many who were left standard, however, with the veteran Hunt, in the center, Han- back and Stradling alternating in left and Runkle in right a good fielding combina- tion was developed. A promising season is in sight for next spring, when Robert Purk, who again will be eligible will report for backstop duty relieving the heavy hitting Clem to help out in the left garden where his ac- curate throwing arm will cut off many a would be run.
