n K 17- IO O: the ent Ort gh 21 fairly strong quintet and prospects for next year are consderably bright- er than it was thought possible a year ago. The junior College team lost its first game of the season in a hard- fought battle with alumni of the high school here and then bowed to the Jefferson' City group to a 37-14 tune. Kemper Military Academy at Boonville gave the Bucs their most decided trouncing when they piled up 76 points to 14. The game was played at Boonville and the extreme- ly large court at Kemper helped to add to the humiliation of the local team. Moberly junior College scored a victory over the Kirksville School of Osteopathy second team on the home court, scoring 15 to the op- ponents' 13. One of the best games of the year was that of the Bucs and the Kirksville Teachers! second team. In this game the Moberly boys held the teachers to 13 to 11 in the first half but the Kirksville lads were able to run up to 38 in the last half. The final score was 38-24. The Bucs lost to the Kirlcsville Teachers' second in a second en- counter here. That game was the nrst in which -lack Alexander, former high school star, made an appearance. The Bucs suffered a decisive de- feat at the hands of the second team at Central College, Fayette, to the second Osteopatlfs team and to Fayette on the home court later in the year. jefferson City defeated the Bucs in the last game at home. The written account seems to be nothing but a record of defeats, nothing is told of the hours of. practice, of the attempt of the team to show good sportsmanship and to develop a first-class team. -Nothing of those things can be written, probably, but in the minds and hearts of Moberly Junior College people the season was anything but a failure.
