A. team and again resulted in victory for R. H. S. This made the sixth straight game of basket ball in which we defeated the Bedford team. Out of ten games on schedule we played eight and won four-fifty per cent. is not so bad. Through the management of Charles Hurt, basket ball in the last two years has become a very popular sport at High School. fllhe success of the team this season was due largely to the interest taken in it by its sup- porters, by the captain, joe Engleby, and by the team itself. . ..1,1F' 9' ,legs 5 X f ,th ..:,g.,e fqt' gy -L , V .9 A ,. ,W f14s?114S5.za-i4':3ii5f,-, ?4fr7f.x ,f was-vm. ,LY A.

Danville High School. . . . . .18 Roanoke High School ...........................,. 76 Our next game was at home with the Danville High School team. This was the first time these two teams ever met. The Danville boys played good ball, but their work was greatly excelled by that of the Roanokers. From start to finish the game was one-sided, though not without interest. The score was 18 to 76 with the big end going to R. H. S. Lynchburg High School .... .... 2 3 Roanoke High School ............................. 21 Cn our next trip we had three games scheduled but on account of missing train connections played only two. The first was with Lynchburg, and as usual luck seemed to be against us, for we lost the game by two points. But it was nip and tuckl' throughout the entire forty minutes, play. The timer blew his whistle when the score stood 23 to 21. jefferson School ....... .... 4 5 Roanoke High School ............................. 3 The other game on this trip was the only real defeat we met during the whole season. It was played with the fast Jefferson School team. VVe left Lynchburg with three of the regulars out of the game. The fast, heavy team and the large floor of the Charlottesville school worked our ruin to the tune of 45 to 3. Bluefield High School... .. .29 Roanoke High School ............................. 34 The next Saturday we played Bluefield High School again, this time on our own floor and with better luck. The Beavers came to Roanoke quite con- fident of winning again from us, but we showed them what we could do at home and they carried the sad news of defeat back to Wlest Virginia with them. The game was rough, fast, and snappy, and ended with the score 29 to 34. 99
