Athletics Tl-ILETICS is one of the most im- portant features in the life of a school. It is something that, if played and managed right, most everyone enjoys. XVe not only enjoy the playing, but we associate with other schools and form acquaintances with other people. and that brings the schools closer together. Each individual learns that he must con- trol his temper, use team work. do his best at all times. and make his grades if he takes part in any of the contests. Our school does not have the advantages that larger schools have, but where would our school be if we did not have any athletics at all? - Not much base ball is played here for we only have an eight-month school and the ground is not in condition to play much of the time. XVe play a few inter- class games and once in a while we play some other school. but we are very weak in base ball because we don't practice it enough. In future years this school should take more interest in base ball and win some honors for S. H. S. in that line. Track work is not encouraged here. so we don't have any star milers, which we would have if it was taught. Basket ball is one of the sports in which our school takes an interest. Every one is for Selma High. They have made us a good place to play. but it is handicapped by some beams which hinder long shots. lt would be all right if we played at home all of the time, but it hinders us when we go away. There is some talk of removing these beams and the next year's team may have a better place than we had. The team this year played nineteen games and lost only three: which is a bet- ter record than any Selma High team has had since l91l. Maybe we didn't play as strong teams as some other schools, but there are very few other schools that made a better showing at the tournament. The game with Ridgeville, in which we doubled the score. was the first time in live years their high school had been beaten at Ridgeville. .Xlmost every year we have lost to Farm- land at Farmland. but this year we took them on their own tioor. XX'e took two games from Daleville, which is something our school has not done for a good many years. The rest of the teams on our schedule we most always won from-one game, at least, and two :nost of the time. Our second team this year was a won- der. They won all of their games and their opponents were lucky if they WOI1 any points at all. This team will help make the hrst team next year. In our practices they were always on hands to battle us and we had to play some to beat them. So a great deal of the credit for our victories goes to them for their co-operation. The girls did not take much interest in playing basket ball this year. They had the material to make a wonderful team. So the next year the girls should organize and play a few games and show these other schools that we have girls who can play basket ball as well as the boys. .X great deal of the credit for this year's team goes to the coaching of Mr. G. C. XVright. He was not hired as a coach but as a school teacher, but he spent a great deal of his valuable time in coaching our team, and we appreciated it very much. l'Ve want to thank our yell leadei, Don- ald Ryan. for his support this year. He was with us at all times and showed all lzinds of pep all the time. The last thing in our basket ball season was the inter-class tournament. Although this was the second year ot' class tourna- ments. the student body showed great en- thusiasm in supporting their class colors. The Sexenth grade was defeated in a one-sided game by the Eighth grade, with a score of JU to nothing. The Sophomores defeated the Freshmen in a close--sccre game of 11 to S. The Seniors played the Juniors and eliminated them with a more- than-double- score of ZS to ll. The final game of the Blue and lVhite against the Black and Old Gold was the one that aroused pep in both classes. The Blue and lVhite team was defeated by the lower classmen, the Sophomores.
