Under his skillful guidance the orchestra has progressed from a mere conglomeration of instruments to an orchestra Whose members are so skillfull that they can render some of the more difficult selections, with the ease of old masters. VVe of Manchester think that at great deal of credit should be given to Mr. Di Tella, who has organized a High School orchestra and Band. These organizations gave several concerts, of such an excellent character that We regret that there could not have been more. A Twenty-Stix

Somewhat handicapped in size, Mutt found it hard ,going to keep up with his heavier and taller teamrmates, yet he put out a brand of basketball that made him a man the coach didn't feel safe in leaving at home. Mutt took the utility role and played at both the guard and forward positions with equal success. Watclx him go next year. BLAIR, group, for strongly in dependable. There is This is the the second Fred. Freddie is another man that was forced to play his level best to keep in the upper he was handicapped by stature only. Freddie played the utility stunt, and like Mutt, figured every game. He had a good eye for baskets, and when at the guard position, he was thoroughly Second Team considerable truth to the statement that the nrst team is as good as the second team makes them. case in the 1927 season, for we must boast of the calibre and ability of the crew that made up squad and who at times were carried on the first string. These mfn realize that basketball players are developed and that it is a slow process, hence their willingness to appear regularly, and work ha.rd, for they know that they will come into their estate in due time. Hooshagen played right guard against the regulars most of the season, figuring in one or two first team games. He was a factor that defeated teams from Dundee and elsewhere. Faust, another player noted for his persistence and hard work, played part of the season at left guard, and he also was carried part of the season on the first string. His work was of a high order. XVith a lot of his old football fight, Tommy McRoberts came out for basketball and succeeded in upholding Junior honors in placing on the second team. and playing a hard game for a berth on the first one. Measles and Mumps 'wrecked his chances mid-year. Then there is Paul Nandell, a Freshman, who has been playing good basketball. He was tried out at several positions, and got away in great shape. There are some of who predict Nandell to turn out to be one of the best basketball players we have seen, before he has donned the rectangular cap of the Senior. Last but not least in our chronicle is Merril Pulliam who migrated from Oneida to Manchester in the early part of September. He has been considered a valuable addition to our basketball, track, and football stock. Pulliam plays a style of basketball all his own, and we are here to tell you that he handles the ball with both grace and accuracy. He also will develop rapidly from the ranks of the' second string.

Strawberry Point 20 Season XVhen basketball season opened, Coach Davis was greeted with only two letter men, Atwatel and Harris. But even at that, our hopes were high. The coach finally worked up a good combination and took on the Alumni. They made a good showing in that game and it looked as if we would have a good team. The next game was played with Hopkinton, who had three veterans, and they doiwned us by a score of 28-8. But that was just the first game and no one lost hope yet. They next journeyed to Marion and were again downed. But the next night they went to Earlville, and in a fast and hard fought battle, defeated them by a score of 6-5. They next went to Strawberry Point and after playing two overtime periods, came home defeated to the tune of 17-16. The crack Independence team was the next to visit us, and we were again defeated. Dubuque received the shock of their lives when they came here. They expected an easy victory, but old M. H. S. boys braced up and gave them a battle which ended 26-36. Not so bad after all. The next was a return game with Independence, and they turned the same trick, so we came home on the short end of a 29-8 count. Revenge is sweet. Strawberry Point came down and went home after being defeated by a score of 21-20. XVe next played a return game with Dubuque, but it was all over in a little while with us defeated by a 16-26 score, Then the Delaware County Tournament, where the boys showed remarkable improvement by winning from Hopkinton and Colesburg, and giving Earl- ville a tough battle for honors. They went to the sectional tournament at Independence, but were downed by Monticello in the first gameby a score of 26-23. This ended the basketball season. Our boys won 4 out of 13 games played, not so bad after taking all things into consideration. The prospects are good' and we hope to have a good team next year. Twenty-ytifve
