This year our baseball team was one of the best in many a season. They played five games this year and came out with a very commendable record of four wins and one loss. The team usually consisted of Irvin Jeans, catcher; Dannehl and Schnurr, pitchers; Lathrop, first base; Perkinson, second base; Hanner, short stop; Brantley, third base; Brim, left field; Palmer, center field; and Charles Jeans, right field. The first game was with Watseka. Each team made one run in the first inning, but Onarga jumped to a 6-1 lead and then won easily 9-2. Onarga won over Chebanse in their second game and although the game was close, Onarga won 3-1. In their first game of the District Contest, Ash-Clif was our foe. This game was also a close one with the score being tied most of the way. However, Onarga came home the winner 3-2. The next game Schnurr was our pitcher and he did very well in his first game. He came home with a nice 6-3 victory over Crescent. The last game of the tournament found us playing the ever strong Buckley and though we played hard we were no match for them and they won very easily. The score being 13-1.

Basketball The Basketball record this year was 11 wins and 15 losses. One of these wins was a decisive one. It was in the County Tournament over Watseka. The margin of six points was enough to make the game one of the best in the tournament. We were later beaten out of the tournament by Onarga Military School. In the V. V. we went against Herscher in the opener and won 52 to 28. We then faced Forrest, who went on to win the tournament, and we lost 49 to 39. In the Regional we were beaten out by a strong Rantoul team by a score of 76-42. This game ended the regular season. After the close of the regular season the class tournament was held, with the senior class coming out on top. The members of this team included Dannehl, Bottorff, Fink, Archer, Green, and Hockersmith. We should give all the boys out for basketball a lot of credit, and a lot of thanks to Coach Tomlinson.

In their first meet with Gilman and Piper City, Onarga captured more firsts but did not win, being second to Gilman. Dannehl was high man for Onarga with three firsts. Next was Piper City and we did very well this time. We came home with first, by scoring 75% points. Gilman and Stockland were our next foes, and even though improved, Gilman again defeated us. Dannehl and Bottorff each registered double wins with Archer getting three. The County Track Meet came next and Onarga did itself up proud. We weren’t expected to get more than 20 points at the most, but the track men came through for 41 points and second place. We registered in both the low and high hurdles and first in the 440. Many of the other boys helped tremendously in the thirds and seconds to bring the total up. Within three days Onarga went to the V. V. meet and again came home in second place. We took first in the 100, third in the shot and 440, third in high jump also. We again registered wins in both high and low hurdles. Onarga took six boys to the District meet — C. Bailey in the 880, Raymond Neal in the mile, Bottorff, discus, Dannehl, 440 and Varsity Relay, Archer, both hurdles and relay team. The relay team consisted of Archer, Dannehl, Hanner, and Bottorff.
