Bafketball fb' Light! DIXON DECEMBER 13 AT UNION Our first game of the season was played in our own gym. It was an easy victory for us as our opponents' pass work was poor and they were rather slow on their feet during the entire game. Score: 52-9. ' WEST ALEXANDRIA DECEMBER 20 AT WEST ALEXANDRIA Our basketball team journeyed to West Alexandria for the second game. There, in spite of the fact that we hadn't had many hard practices before this game, West Alexandria was easily van- quishedg the final score was: 14-2. ALUMNI DECEMBER 28 AT UNION Some of Union's former favorites were present and displayed a quantity of their old fire and pepg however, Union's present quintet proved too strong for them. The Alumni trailed the Union boys the entire game, and when the whistle blew, the score stood 26-5 in favor of Union's present favorites. VERONA JANUARY 1 AT UNION Verona was our next victim. Since this was the first day of 1950, our teams decided to start the new year off right, our first team walloped Verona, 16-11, and our reserves won over Verona's reserves by a score of 23-15. BROOKVILLE JANUARY 4 AT UNION Although we had played one hard game just a few days preceding, we rallied all our strength for this game and came through victorious. The boys exhibited excellent pass work and when the final gun cracked Union was ahead 20-18. ' FARMERSVILLE JANUARY 10 AT UNION Farmersville rode the bumps to Lewisburg with a rather large team, but when they returned home they had the smallest score. Although one of our regulars was injured in the second quarter and had to stay on the bench for the rest of the game, we won by the score of 27-23. JEFFERSON JANUARY 16 AT JEFFERSON We traveled to Jefferson for our next game, and there we suffered our first defeat of the sea- son. The Jeffersonites won over us with a 22-20 score. Their winning basket was tallied in the last few seconds of play. MONROE JANUARY 17 AT UNION We seemed content to stay in the losing rut that we had gotten into the night before at Jeffer- son and this time we bowed to defeat at the hands of Monroe. The Monroe boys had much success in the first quarter with their long shots, this, of course, put Monroe at the top and although our boys pepped up somewhat theywere not able to out score Monroe. Score: 28-20. WEST ALEXANDRIA JANUARY 24 AT UNION L Although the West Alexandria bulldogs had improved during the period that had elapsed since we had played them, we again defeated them. Our regular that was injured in the Farmersville game was again able to be in suit and he staged a big comeback. Score: 27-18. JACKSON JANUARY 25 AT JACKSON Union journeyed to Campbellstown for their third game away from home this season. The team was minus a player who almost always started the game but a substitute was used and we again rode to victory with a 19-10 score. The reserve team defeated Jackson's reserves 12-6. CAMDEN JANUARY 31 AT UNION For another time we were successfulg Camden came here and we defeated them 18-9. Camden was considered one of the strongest teams in the southern part of the county. LANIER FEBRUARY 7 AT UNION The last year champions of Preble County were our opponents in our last game before the tour- nament. This proved to be a very hard-fought battle and when the game came to a close Lanier had a two-point lead. This game, with its final score of 24-22, was one of the most exciting and most interesting contests of the season. Page Forty-four

TOURNAMENT LANIER FEBRUARY 22 AT EATON We humped off our first opponents, Lanier's whiz-bang team, by a 27-24 victory, We were up against a stiff team but by diligent fighting until the last gun cracked we came out undefeated. Thus the champs of last year bowed down to defeat at the mercy of our own hands. MONROE MARCH 1 AT EATON By elimination Monroe fell to us as our next opponents. Monroe, through the entire season, was very successful on their long shotsg and in this game, during the first period, they completely out-scored us. Although in the second half we showed more competition, the final score was 34-22. JACKSON MARCH 1 AT EATON As losers in the semi-finals, we became participants in the consolation game with jackson as our opponents. In this, our last game of the season, we won by a score of 30-25.
