Harry Miller is practically a sure thing for the weights and Spires should be in better fettle that ever for the hurdles. Then with the Spires brothers, John Hall, Chester Root, Harry Miller, Cub Adams and a few new ones to fill in, we are going to have a track team that will be among the winners, and we are all eager for than place to be FIRST.

This, however, may be attributed to the lack of a court to play in and not of any deficiency in material for a winning team as was the opinion of our erst-while defeated rivals. 1914 saw only a mediocre basket ball team don the M. P. H. S. suits. During the season the red and blue fell at least once before every team in the circuit, but to finish the season right, she defeated North Bend, otherwise the undefeated. Thus she defended her honor as having the only undefeated championship in the history of Coos County basket ball. From start to finish the 1914-15 season was an uphill pull for Myrtle Point High School. The outlook for a winning team the early part of the year was altogether unfavorable, there being only three players with any previous experience and very little of it at that.
