THE STATESMAN Disaster, however, again overtook the Staters as the Wadsf worth Grizzlies handed us a 41 - 21 punch to the chin on the latters floor. Akron Buchtel came next on the State schedule and while we were unable to defeat the team which gained its way to the Class A Tournament at Columbus, we did score more than twenty points on the Griffs, a feat which only two other high schools could do. The other two were Akron Ciar- field and Massillon. We went down before the Griffs 36 f 23. The next Friday, january 31, the Blue and White at last was able to wave above the Red and White of Roosevelt. With a now or never determination, the boys took the floor and pro- ceeded to top the Rough Riders in every department. Passing and shooting with uncanny accuracy, the team fought hard to win. They led at every period and well-earned our revenge after six defeats with a 22 f 18 edge. At the end of the campaign the first ten elected Bill Warner and Dick Wiland, both seniors, as co-captains of the team. The season might well be summed up as follows: we had a totally inexperienced team, we played all but two games against Class A teams, the boys gave all they had all of the time, and as a result are able to point proudly to the fact that Roosevelt was named among their victories for the first time in years.
