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..

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 Dogies attended the Tournament at Gillette but were eliminated after having been defeated by Sundance and Ranches- ter, however taking everything in consideration they had a very successful year through Coach Ed. Hoel's painstaking efforts! Lusk 11, Newcastle 9 Boys-At Newcastle, Dec. 10, 1926 Although this was the Dogies' nrst game of the season it was also considered one of the best. This could have been local squads game as well as not for they led the Luskites- until the last quarter when Lusk found the loop with two long shots making the score 9 to 11 in favor of the Invaders. Captain Grieves led the scorers with three baskets to his cred- it. Adam found the loop once while Gaido scored a free throw. Considering the fact that this was the first game of the season and that it was several of the boys' first game, the team showed up ex- ceedingly well, promising to hang several scalps to their belts be- fore the season is over. - Lusk 24, Newcastle 7 Boys--At Lusk, Dec. 17, 1926 The N. H. S. boys played a return game with Lusk in which the Dogies came out on the short end of the deal, the score being 24 to 7. The Lusk boys were too much at home on their own narrow gym which was a handicap to the Dogies who could not get started in their usual fast game. Captain of the Dogies, Grieves, again led the scorers, finding the ring twice. Mead tossed the ball in once and Adam gets credit for a free throw. .--.L-l-1 Newca.stle 17, Sundance 9 Boys-At Newcastle, Dec. 31, 1926 The Crook county high school basket tossers came down and inet their Waterloo at the hands of the N. H. S. Dogies after 'a hard played fast game. Sundance will be remembered as having a good team last year which tromped on the N. H. S. Dogies once and got beat by a very small margin another time. But in spite of the fact that they have some old hands at the game the fast work of the Longhorns baffled them and the final score was 17 to 9, Sundance getting the 9. .27-.
