The season of 1921 was one with many ups and downs. At times the team showed a class of basketball that would have made them champions. had they been able to keep up the pace. During this period they defeated some of the best teams in the U. P. The team didn't find their stride until they hit Pellston and they traveled at a fast pace in defeating the Lower Peninsula team. M. H. S. 16-MUNISING 25 Coach Houston and his boys traveled over to Munising and were handed ai trimming to the tune of 25-16. But the boys said, Just wait until we get them on a regular floor. M. H.

S. 8-MENOMINEE 22 The next week the team left for Menominee to invade the city of young giants. But much to our sorrow, the boys couldn't locate the basket. A score of 22-8 does not look as though we had a chance, but the boys missed more than enough easy shots to win the game. ' M. H. S. 17-ESCANABA 14 At this point of the seasonthings didn't look any too rosy. The team seemed to be lost on neutral courts. Everyone but the Coach, had rather lost hopes with the Escanaba team next on the list. He was causing quite a little criticism and his judgment was being ridiculed by all who heard him say that his boys were going to hand Esky a lacing, It was the same kind of a situation that confronted the Coach last fall before
