T The Scarlet and Gray 11 Athletics O! :ee y s£38t = o Our “boys” met the team from John Hancock of O. U. Before the game started it looked as tho our team would have to do some swell playing to defeat their “enemies.” But the team did not have the “can’t be did” spirit and as soon as the game began (hey went into it with a ferocious spirit and as the game progressed so did the score, in favor of N. H. S., and the final score stood 43-6 in favor of Nelsonville. Jan. 4th the basketball team met New Lexington on the home floor and it was some game. At the opening all was excitement for our team took everything by storm as they went along. The second half the visiting team began to gain on our boys and the score was 20-18 in favor of New Lexington when the whistle blew. —o— Saturday, Feb. 2nd the two big games of the season were played at the Y. M. C. A. We need not mention that these were those between the Faculty and Students. The men of the faculty played the boys’ team. This game came first and was a fine game. At the opening half a team chosen from boys of various classes, played our brave faculty team. But the boy warriors proved to be more than a match for their big chiefs, and th first half’s score stood to be for the boys. But alas, the second half the noble Seniors had to put the game out of the ring. With their team, which was the team that took the inter-class championship, but however, failed to live up to the “rep” they had obtained and allowed the big chiefs to take their scalps by the narrow margin of 23-25. Line-up: 1st Half—2nd Half Silcott—Wilson Weaver L. F. Crawford—Kinney Carroll R. F. Martin—Coates Rike C. Pierce—Lutz Ferree R. G. Patton—King Jones L. G. Field Goals—Carroll 3, Weaver 5, Rike 4, Kinney 3, Coates 1. Foul Goals—Rike 1. Field Goals for first half—Silcott 5, Patton 1, Crawford 2. Referee—Sharp. The second game, that between the girls and faculty was another howling success. The game was of great in- terest and it proved to the spell bound crowd that even if the boys couldn’t beat the men, the girls could beat the women. Talk about rough! Well this football game sure had the first game beat for that. The teachers play- ed like their life depended on the score and the girls like they were taking their low grades (if they had any) out on the teachers. Score 5-10 in favor ci the girls of course.
