. D AMLI From a scoring stand point Petoskey's football record for 1921 ap- pears a failure, but winning does not always constitute success. Coach Heemstra started out with a green team-only two regulars and two subs from last year's squad-he had to make a team, out of practically new material. To make a team a winning team cannot all be done in one season. From this year's team which is now an experienced one P. H. S. will lose only four meng Bailey, Curtis, Spencer and Locke. Part of our success this year lies in the fact that a team has been made for next year. , -- This team also had the honor of playing the best games seen on the local field in years, nearly winning from Cadillac the Northern Michigan Championship. Two men of the squad received the honor of being chosen for the All Northern Michigan Mythical teams, Bailey as full back on one and Spencer as center on another. So Petoskey has had much success this year even with a losing team.

isiw imrl Q 5, A The basket ball record for the 1921-22 season remained consistent with that of other years. With seven games won and seven games lost, the season may be regarded as a very successful one. Throughout the year Petoskey was followed by hard. luck. At the beginning of the season the star forward McIntyre, was out of five games with tonsilitis. Then Earl Mattison injured an arm. Next Olson was taken ill and was unable to play for a week or more. As P. H. S. was about to turn the tables on Cadillac on theghome floor our star guard, Frye, was quarantined the day before with the measles. Two weeks later itournament weekl the same fate overtook Beer, our fast, fighting forward. ' In spite of this hard luck the basket ball season has been a suc- cess, due, beyond a doubt, to the excellent coaching of Mr. Heemstra, who is leaving us this year.
