With Mr. Helmick as coach and Emmett Cosgrove CCockyJ as Captain, we had hopes of gathering up a team. For the first three or four weeks it was quite a question just who would wear the Crimson and Gold and after that it was hard to tell and never was quite known just who the first teams were. At the opening of the season there were about fifteen out for practice besides Calahan, and we got some genuine practice and coaching, and soon the rough edges were worn off. The game with Montgomery wasa rather tedious one because neither team had had much practice but we beat 'em and Quincy too. Then, after Christmas vacation we went after it in a regular way. Some by this time had quit coming down but down to the last we had enough for scrimmage. Emmett Cosgrove played center, assisted by Earl Kinney. George Redding and Paul Cosgrove were forwards with Glen Miller close by, Wilmer Stone at floor guard, and Clifford Casteel and' Wade Newell at back guard. There were no substitutes, all were first team men and little difference could be seen in the team work when one player was changed for another. We came along fine until we went to Homerg we lost a game there but we gathered up our spunk and trimmed them when they came here. Not so with Waldrong we beat them by a fair score and when they came here we could n't shoot a little bit and they beat us by one point. Aside from these two games we lost nothing. The only real disappoint- ment of the whole season was the calling ofi' of the County Tournament at the last thing. We had hoped to do something at it and had given up the district tournament, held at Ypsi for the sake of attending the one at Hillsdale. Five wearers of the Crimson and Gold leave this year but next year will perhaps find bettcr men in place of them and a better team than this one's. Seven of the eight basket ball men are three letter men and can do something besides basket ball: they will have their steam up ready for baseball. - Date Teams Score Reading-Opp. Dec. 19 Montgomery at Reading 47-8 jan. 9 Quincy at Reading 26-6 Jan. 13 Hillsdale at Reading 16-10 jan. 30 Litchfield at Reading 31-6 Feb. 6 Reading at Homer 21-32 Feb. 13 Reading at Waldron 32-25 Feb. 20 Homer at Reading 13-12 Feb. 24 Reading at Litchfield 26-13 March S Waldron at Reading 10-21 March 12 Allen at Reading 49-10 Totals 280-143 POINTS MADE BY RESPECTIVE PLAYERS Player Position Points from Points from Total for Field Goals Free Throws Season Emmett Cosgrove CCapt.J ................

' I L L L a Q I Grrls Basket Ball 1 I i..... U L . . . . I When the Basket Ball season opened about 25 girls entered rnto practrce wrth a will f and vengeance, giving their best possible in an effort to furnish material fora winning T team and to fill vacancies left by those graduating last year. T The girls kept the same spirit through the whole season and from them were chosen i a fast, gritty, scrappy team with Kolhoff as their able Captain. L Even though they lost some of the games this year they are considered a success for a- the teams with whom they competed were stronger and of a higher class than those of ,- preceding years. . L The first and hardest games of the season were with Hillsdale. The very first game f was staged on the local Hoor. Theteams were very evenly matched as may be judged f by the score, 17-16, Hillsdale's favor. The girls were at a disadvantage in the return f game due to the comparatively small floor and again lost to the opposing team. f Although defeated after a hard scrap at Homer, they came back doubly strong in i the return game here, sending the Homerites home defeated by a score 17-2. I After having won both games with Litchfield they cast lots with Waldron but were Q' not so fortunate, losing again. T The game with Allen in which was discovered the rare ability of other members of I: the team to play forward, resulted in a score 26-1. This closed a most enjoyable season. L Although not champions the girls played a very high class Basket Ball, giving every g- team with whom they came in contact all they could do and in some cases more. i- .1.... t i L I - g Girls B.
