THE GAMES IN BRIEF. With only one week of practice the 1920 team, under Coach H. D. Bottum, opened the season with a victory, The game was with the Independents and quite easily won. The score, 33-11. The following week Mesick high school came to Lake City. The game was a very fast one and gave credit to us, it being only our second game to Mesick's sixth. Lake City lead the score un- til the last quarter, when the Mesick center and forwards revealed some evidently stored up energy and wonthe game, 29-149. But-in our next game we made up entirely for the 'former defeat. January 9 we met the Manton quintette. -The game was intensely interesting and we were able to hold the lead through- out. Lake at center seldom failed to get the tip-of and the guards, Walton and Barner, held their forwards . down to only one field basket. And the forwards, Iverson and Allen, quite easily avoided our guards, thus having unobstructed access 'EJ oglr basket. The score was 32-8 with another victory for. L. C. One very memorable date to the members of the team was Jan. 16. Because of deficient train service our trip to Mesick was a long and tiresome one. We were driven to McBain in a sleigh, every fellow greatly chilled while facing the storm. At Mc- Bain we took the evening train on the Ann Arbor C116 hours latej and went by way of Cadillac to Mesick. We reached -there late in the evening, tired and hungry and in a very 'bad' condition to play basket ball. We put up a stubborn fight, but lost the game, 52-26. CBut the presence of the I Kingsley girls' team brightened things up somewhatj QWe all went to bed early.J January 30, Jennings High came to Lake City. Our team work was not up to standard, but we are justified when the method of playing of the Jennings team is considered. Bottum had coached us basket ball on a basis of good sportsmanship, not rough house on a basis of pugilistic feats. So we lost, 23-13. On February 6, McBain was the visiting team. Due to sev- eral unfortunate mis-haps the victory went to our opponents by a final of 25-15. February 11, the All-Stars were out determined to defeat us. But in a rather rough game in which the speed and team work of the High outmatched the All-Stars they were themselves defeat- ed. But the game was very humorous and no hard feelings en- sued Cunless bodilyj. This added another victory to the list with a score of 34-10.
