BASKETBALL SEASON 1929-1930 The week after the Le Roy gridiron season closed, basketball practice started with plenty of recruits reporting for the team. Four veterans from last year’s squad, three of them being lettermen, were the nucleus around which Coach Busch built his team. Three of the players were unable to play the first two games of the season on account of ineligibility. Due to the necessity of changing the men around to find the position they played best, we did not get such a good start as we hoped to. We played our first game with Wykoff on our home floor November 22. In the first half the teams seemed evenly matched, but in the last half our opponents drew away from us. The game ended with a lopsided score of 30 to 10. On November 25 we met Lyle on our own floor in a very close, exciting game. It was a fight from start to finish for both teams. When the game ended, our opponents were on the long end of the score, 20 to 2(5. The third game of the season was played on December (5 on the Le Roy floor. The first half ended (5 to 8 with Grand Meadow in the lead. They kept the lead during the remainder of the game, the final score being 1(5 to 23. We lost to Rose Creek on December 13 by a score of 10 to 33. Our boys were greatly handicapped by having two regulars on the sick list. Leon and “Doe” would have to come down with the chickenpox just at this time. On December 17 we again lost to Wykoff with a score of 13 to 22. On December 19 we lost to Lyle, the score was 14 to 3(5. Two of the regulars were still nursing the chickenpox, thus the team was at quite a disadvantage. The worm turned with the coming of the new year! On January 1, 19.3(1, we defeated the Alumni with a score of 1(5 to I t. The game was close throughout. At the end of the first half the score was 8 to ( in favor of the Alumni. The third quarter ended 14 to 10 with the Alumni on the long end of the scoring. During the fourth quarter the boys staged a rally and the quarter ended I t to It. Two overtime periods were played before the argument was finally settled in favor of the high school. On January 24 Na'man’s eagle eye was slightly better than usual and we defeated Chester on our home floor with a score of 24 to 12. Spring Valley turned the tables on us on January 10, the score was 34 to 15. A week later the boys fell before the Rose Creek squad with a score of 30 to 14. January 21 found us journeying to Spring Valley where we received another defeat. We lost another game to Grand Meadow on January 31. The gloomy mists of defeat finally cleared away; on February 8 we trounced Adams on their home floor with a score of 12 to 8. When Adams invaded our court they received another defeat which was rather hitter medicine for the Adams gang. The game was fast all the way through, but the Le Rov boys were ahead 11 to 8 when the final whistle blew. We traveled through sub zero weather to play our first game with Elkton and we appeared on the floor in their old cracker-box gymnasium in no fit condition to play. Weather and hall conditions were so unfavorable we needs must say we couldn’t expect a victory there; we lost 13 to 9. but when they came to Le Roy— revenge was sweet! The game was in our favor. We gave them a 21 to 17 defeat—winding up the home season with a victory. We lose three of the boys (by graduation) who have been in the game three years, but younger fellows look better when we recall that the freshman boys defeated the seniors in the finals of the boys’ interclass basketball tournament in March by a score of 34 to 4. Watch that younger set go next year.
