L Y. Qi' f - X X fwl sq P Hur has-kethall squad began the season with four new men. yet it is not an exaggeration to say that wonderful development was made hy the end uf tlle season. l.eslie Craig, who proved a great asset to last year's second team, proved our fastest forward. ln despite of his size, which he seemed to use to good advantage, he undoubtedly accomplished more than anyone else on the ottensive side. llarold Ql'CZllJll and lohn lxellv changed oll at right forward and hoth accomplished some good work. Richmond held down lns Joh at center, wlnle Ray tiihlws and t ecil llollenheck constituted our de- fense. It is a credit to them to state that none of the enemies' scores mounted very high. though they met some mighty fast forwards in Page, of .Xveryvillel .'Xmsler, of liast l'eoria, and lloswell, of 'l'oluca. The most notahle develop- ment on the team was that shown hy Ray tiihlms, for, altlioug-11 much unfa- voralmle comment was heard of lns work at hrst, he proved one ot the lmest guards we have ever had and one of the lmest in Nlarshall t'onnty. XX'e played out a still' schedule and a long one. lt is a credit tu the team that they held an average ot lmetter than .ntlll at the close ot the season. .Xl- thongh we have no room here for the scores and notes of each game, hrielly the results were as follows: XX'e started oft' hv winning from Rutland hy a large margin. Xve defeated Yarna twice and served Sparland and l.owpoint likewise. XYe defeated llenry on their own Iloor, although they won their gatne here at an earlier date. Swaney laced ns twice. as did .Xvervville and liast l'eoria. XYe split even with XYetherstield. of Kewanee. Nlarseilles soiled our slate slightly. Nlinonlc also won a victory at our expense. XX'e trinnned 'l'oluca in a close game in the presence of seven hnndred people. and this was perhaps our greatest victory. Xve played the l.acon town team twice and snc- ceeded in splitting' even. 'l'he tournament tales are tales of woe and we will not repeat the diss graceful outcome of the ganie hetween llenry and 'l'oluca. Unr second team won the Second llanner after a hard and close light with llenry. Hur First team won the Second llanner tll1'Ollg'll 'l'oluea's forfeit. Taking it all in all. the success we had was all that could he expected and now the joy uf it all is that four men are left to huild the foundation for next year's team. Vraig.

I L e turned out for tennis this spring are l.eslie Craig, Nliuard XX'eers, .Xrlo l'e- ters, and Donald Richmond. Some excellent material is in sight for the fu- TRACK Lacon lligh School has a glorious past and a promising' future in track and field sports. XYe look back with pride upon the athletes she has pro- duced. Since 1912 every year we have succeeded in winning the annual ture of this sport. Marshall County Field Meet. XYe have seen our athletes pass quickly through their four years of High School and when they have left us it has seemed for the moment that we were lost. llut always new material has developed to hold aloft the banners of old l.. ll, S. l.acon has always produced runners of note. Of late years Paul Craig has carried off the reeords in the dashes and we believe his record will be long remembered. Shot putters, javelin tlirowers. jumpers and vaulters have not been lacking. We still hear about the campus the names of l'itt Shaw, Charlie Ramp, and George llarvey and other notable athletes too numerous to mention, as well as the more recent graduates mentioned with pride. The undergraduates have a high standard to keep, but we have contidence in them. You of the alumni have set that standard. It is for us to hold it, to forever keep our principles of fair play tultarnished, for the glory and honor of l.acon lligh must live. A TROPHY DISPLAY
