THE PETONIAN 65 OUR TRIP TO BETHANY This year the P. H. S. Basket-ball team entered the Tri-State tourna- ment at Bethany College, as one of the teams to represent Pennsylvania. This was the first time that the P. H. S, Basketeers had ever entered a tournament. Wednesday March 5 was the date set for the starting to Bethany. At noon all students of P. H. S. got out in front of the school building and gave all the yells they knew which made the team feel that the whole high school was backing them. VVe started on our journey but about 2:30 in the afternoon the whole crew was almost starved so we stopped in a small town to get something to eat. We did not know the name of the town but it had a one horse restaurant. We bought all the soup the pro- prietor had and still wanted more but when he said he had no more we started on sandwiches. After eating these and some ice cream we started for the little village of Bethany on the banks of the old Buffalo. We pulled in there about four o'clock, hunted up John Blair who was to pilot us through the three days of the tournament. He introduced us to the boys of the Phi Kappa Ta and the K. A. boys who we found to be some of the best we ever met. About twelve o'clock we were aroused by the Redstone fellows who belonged to another team from Pennsylvania. We found them to be a bunch of real fellows and from that day on there has been a new link added to the chain of friendship and sportsmanship between the two schools which will never be broken. The little Red and Black warriors were very anxious to play the first day because we thought that we would not be in shape to play the second day. Having been idle for three days we were getting a little bit rusty. So the news came that we were to play Chester at 3:40 Fri., March 7. We could hardly wait till 3:40 in order to get a chance to show them that we were from Pennsylvania and could not be beaten by a 'team which looked as if it had never seen a Basketball. When the game started, we changed our minds for this team was not as soft as it looked or else we had stage fright-the latter possibly was true. The game was very inter- esting. W'e took the lead and at the end of the first half were ahead by one point. When the second half started little Chester Gump as we called them started to play and the first thing we knew they were ahead. The score kept just about even till the last quarter then they pulled in a couple of horseshoe shots from the center which put them in the lead until the gun cracked ending the game 17 to 14 in favor of Chester. We were a bunch of sick looking basketball players after playing a game like this but we came home and took our spite out on Fairchance for the Championship of Group 3 of the F. C. I. A. L. league. - P. H. S. vs. REDSTONE HIGH SCHOOL Altho our school is comprised of only 180 students they can boast of one of the best teams in Fayette County. With practically a new combina- fifm COHCI1 EQWHISIS QQVQIOPCQI an aggregation which was hard to defeat.
