First call for practice brought out thirty-three men, only five of them being letter men. This didn't look very promising, but with the S. T. H. S. fighting spirit prevail' ing we had a team which we were proud of before the season was well under way. We are proud in stating that we won seven out of eight games. West Aurora, taking advantage of the opening game, defeated us. This loss just put more fight into the boys for the rest of the season and we won every succeeding game except the one against the alumni who brought out all their heavyweights and held us to a tie. The games with Amboy, Hinckley and Yorkville were comparatively easy ones but that which was played at Plainfield was a real battle. The fighting spirit of the defenders of the Orange and Black enabled the boys to come out on top. Page Twenty-five

They worked hard to perfect their game and their efforts enabled them to start their playing season with a dashing victory over Plano. They exacted their toll from the boys across the creek with a score of 12-11. After this came a series of successful games, some of them the best basktball contests ever witnessed on the S. T. H. S. floor. While we were unable to win the Little Ten shield at Waterman we considered it a very successful tournament for us. The hardest and best played game of the meet was between Earlville and Sandwich from which we emerged scant victors. This was the banner game of the season, Earlville having won from us twice earlier in the season, and our victory was due only to great improvement and hard work on the part of the coach and the team. We were honored this year by being placed in Class A at the district tournament in Aurora. We drew a hard schedule; however, we defeated Naperville but were beaten by West Aurora. We consider the 192 basket-ball season a success both from the number of games won and the spirit shown by the team and rooters. The cheering of the fans wras a great improvement over all former years, loyalty and clean sportsmanship being predominant at all contests. Three places will be left open by the trio of senior letter men who graduate. Their positions, however, will be filled by their understudies who are coming on in a very commendable way. We wish all success to the basket-ball team and rooters of 1925-26. Page Twenty seven
