BASKETBALL -.-1-izg 4 The 1926-27 Basketball season was .the most successful ever Staged in Newcastle, from the financial viewpoint as well as other- wise. This is probably the first seasonthat the Athletic club has been able to make ends meet without difficulty. The citizens of Newcastle haveshown more interest and spirit and given more support to basketball this season than ever before and were equally rewarded by witnessing the defeat of Sheridan by the Dogies for the first time in the history of the N. H. S. and many other fast and close games. You basketball fans may 'not realize it but your moral support means a whole lot to the defend- ers of the Orange and the Black, so let's make next season an even more successful season than the one just about to finish. . We are sure that with your help the Dogies will take their ancient rivals the Camels fGilletteJ to the mat and their 1927-28 slogan will be The Camels' hide or Bust, they would have had it this year only two of the Dogles were unable to playso all we could do was give them a good run for their money, which we did. I The season started out with the usual inter-class games at which time season tickets were sold. The attendance was not very large at these games although it was better than last year. The result of these games were the same as last year, in that the Juni- ors were victorious in both the Boys and Girls games much to the displeasure of the Seniors. . The following was the season's lineup: Boys Harold Grieves-Captain and Center Paul Gaido-Forward Maynard Adam-Forward Keith Mead-Guard Seymour Snyder-Guard Subs-Jack Shepard, Hugh Johnson, Paul Bacon, and Harold Baldwin. i Girls Francis Mead-Captain and Guard Vivienne Mattinson-Guard and Center 125.-

The following is the season's final score by games: Boys Sheridan - - - 19 Newcastle 22 cc - I 44 9 Lusk 11 9 CC - - CK 7 Sundance 9 17 11 24 Buffalo - 14 8 20 10 Gillette 32 12 K6 - 7 Moorcroft 3 23 - 6 24 Upton 4 46 - 1 31 Cambria 17 21 - - 6 18 TOTALS 225 - 288 Girls Upton - 8 Newcastle 31 as - 2 rc - Cambria - 12 - 16 Gillette 17 34 - 24 23 Moorcroft - 2 15 - 2 72 TOTALS 76 . 215 In conclusion a word must be said concerning our Girls, they again upheld their slogan by not losing a game on their own iioor and only losing one game in the whole season, of which much cred- it must be given Miss Doris Peets, the Girls' Coach. We believe our Girls would have done the Orange and Blacki' much more credit had they had a chance at bigger games such as Sheridan and Buf- falo as they outclassed most of the teams played as may be seen by the above scores. Due to the fact that the same girls will be on the team next year we feel certain they will get a chance at bigger games, which they rightfully deserve. ...26..
