M e x -- 2 1 W I BOYS, SPORTS Mount Carmel Tfownship High boasts of the best high school teams of athletes in these parts. In football, though not many games were played, they showed their stuff against teams much heavier than theirs. In the past season only tive games were played but they came through with four victories. The only setback they received was when they met Ashland High on Ashland sfoil. The local gridders looked like pygmies in comparison with the Ashland team and it looked as if the heavier boys would walk away with the game. But the local Green and Gold proved to them that good goods comes in small packages, and kept them busy all the way through. The coming season shows prospects of a very successful one as the team will be heavier and more experienced in the game. The varsity will suffer the loss of two of its players, but a number of second-string boys are ready to fill in. In basketball, too, the boys had a favorable year, winning 9 and losing 10 games. They started out the season in splendid form but slipped near the close. Coach Schu predicts an excellent quintet this year, as they only lose one regular star. Their cage squad was also a very light one, in comparison with the other high schools they were up against. In the opening game with St. Edward's High of Shamokin, the Whippets were defeated by the score of 37-34, in the fastest game played on the Saints' llofor. Their last game was with the Saints, also, but returned the compliments of the first game by trimming them 32-10. This season portends to be a better one, for the local high school boys are planning to enter the cage with fire in their eyes and avenge the defeats of the past season. Their past seasonis record is as follows: 33 Locust Gap ........ Saint Edward's Locust Gap ........ Natalie Juniors Locust Gap ........ Mount Carmel Locust Gap ........

Y ffhx, -rE'i'5't77e- - -may - 1 GIRLS? BASKETBALL The Green- and Gold-clad basketeers opened their season at Ashland, January 8, 1927. It was a rough game of basketball. The Ashland lassies came out victorious, 5-4. The next contest was played at Shamokinq The game was fast throughout. Locust Gap forwards caged ten goals from the field and the Shamokin forwards came through with eight. How- ever, Shamokin won, 25-23. January 28 the team played at Locust Gap, this being their first appearance on the home court for the 1926-27 basketball season. Their opponents were the strong Pottsville sextette. The Gap girls were at their best and won, 59-8. The next two games were victorious for the Gold Torna- doesf' They defeated Shamokin at Locust Gap February 24, and journeyed to Gilberton for another victory February 15. Febru- ary 22, Gilberton was the attraction on the home court. In this game we gave our second-hand players an opportunity to show their ability. The result was VICTORY. March 4, Ashland played at Locust Gap and March 11, Hazle- ton. In both games Locust Gap came out on the long endj Saturday, March 19, the club journeyed to Pottsville, where they met defeat by the smallest of margins, 14-13. The final game of the season was played March 24 vs. L. G. H. S. Alumni team. The Alumni team fought hard until the final whistle blew. The game was fast and exciting, the scare being 7-5 in favor of the High School at the end of the quarter. In the second half the High School team came back strong. The final score was: High School 51, Alumni 14. With the closing of the 1926-27 basketball season we may say farewell to four of our star players, Captain Geary and Klinger, forwards, Betz and Doyle, guards. All will be lost by graduation. Captain Geary's teamwork and her clever shots were remarkable this season. Her running-mate, Kathryn Klinger, was high scorer with a total of 188 points. Geary and Klinger have been playing together at the forward positions the past three seasons, and ran a total of 622 points during that period. Our guards, Florence Betz and Valeria Doyle, formed a won- derful defense, Betz being the best guard that ever donned the Green and Gold. Both players will be greatly missed. Our jump centers, Shannin and Singlcy, made a very good start, this being their first year to play the game. Both will be with us next season again. Dora Betz, our speedy side center, cutclassed her opponents in every game. Great things are ex- pected of Dora. She has two more years in high school. FORT Y-ONE
