THE RAIL-SPLI TTER 29 BASKET BALL ' No Salina .Tunior High School team ever played as strong a schedule and no team ever made a better record or repre- sented the school as creditably as the team of 1921-22 did. Beginning the season with new suits, the team, captained by Merrill Ragle and coached by H. VV. Jones, played through a hard schedule, Winning thirteen games and losing one. At the close of the regular season, the team entered the Kansas Wesleyan district tournament, in Class B but was put out in their second game by the strong Assaria High School team in a close game.. The team received much praise for the snappy game they put up in the tournament and several coaches made the statement that they displayed the best team work exhibited on the floor. During the entire season the team contributed a dazzling offense and a strong defense and a bright future is predicted for Rlgle, Stevenson, Jung and Moore when they reach High School, if they continue t0 improve as they did all season. Robert Moore was elected captain for next year and he will have some promising material from which to build up another winning team line up. j FOOT BALL Although late in being organized and handicaped through lack of practiceiand in foot-ball equipment, the boys made a good showing, .winning the two games, losing two and tying one.
