I4 Prattsburgh . ............. 7 The members of the team are: Bardeen, forwardg Peterson, forward, Munson, center, Ackley, guard, Quigley, guard, Cornell, substitute, Gillette, substitute. Higby is the only member of the first team that will not be with us next year, and he will be sincerely missed, as any good player always is. but the members of the second team will be ready and eager to ill his place, and, to say the least, there is some very promising material in that team. The team of 1921--22 wishes to thank the people of Prattsburgh for their line interest and pecuniary support, and it's hoped by one and all that the team of I922--23 may enjoy the same support which has made it an added pleasure to fight for Old Franklin. --- Vrooman Higby, '24.

20 FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL just imagine a mob of spectators howling from seats, and ten sweating, exhausted, men, each struggling for the ball, trying to do his best for his team, and you will have the barest idea of the game. Higby's phenome- nal foul basket shooting was the sensation of the game, as he made ive baskets in succession, and barely missed the sixth. The fifteenth, and last game, was with the Corning North Side Inde- pendents, and Prattsburgh swamped them without effort, by a score of 46 to 18. It would be interesting to know what would be the result if Penn Yan, Rushville and Bath, our worst opponents, were to play us again. I think that hardly without a doubt, Prattsburgh would lick them all in a third game. The Prattsburgh pass-work was, as a whole, the feature of all the games played, and played a most important part in winning them all. The credits attained by each player of the basket-ball team in all fifteen games is as follows: Position Field baskets Free throws Total counts Higby Forward 27 1 9 7 1 Donley Forward 3 1 5 67 Thomas Center 9 I 4 1 86 Olney Guard 7 o I 4 Conine Guard o o o Ringrose Forward 2 o ' 2 Clark Forward 7 o 1 4 McConnell G'd and For. I4 o 28 Thomas played all fifteen games, Higby all but one, McConnell all but two, Olney all but two, Donley all but five, Conine played eight full games and two half games, Clark played but'two half games, and Ring- rose played but one game and two half games. As can be seen, Thomas nearly reached the century mark in field bas- kets. If Donley had not been obliged to go to the hospital, it would have been interesting to watch between Thomas and him in registering field goals. As it was, Thomas was nineteen ahead when Donley had to quit the game. The Prattsburgh High School team was a cracker-jack this season. Although they lost two from the three games they played, they put up a good fight in each, and it took the best in their opponents to down them. The first game was played at Avoca with the High School Second Five and ended in a Prattsburgh victory. The second was with the Atlanta second team, in favor of Atlanta. However an extra five minutes of play had to be instituted in order to saw CPE the 1 1 to 1 1 tie at the end of forty minutes of play. A lucky shot made by an Atlanta forward in the last thirty seconds of the five minutes, gave the game to Atlanta. The other game was with the Penn Yan Independent Juniors, and our boys were defeated 24 to 12. The members of the team are: Clark, forward, ' Ringrose, forward, Horton, center, Jones, guardg Putnam, guardg Keys, substitute.
