lUtalu't Hall tRnmuit Basket ball training b gan late in the season, due to foot ball practive, influenza, etc. A schedule was not arranged early in the season and consequently results were unsatisfactory. Mr. King was chosen to coach the basket ball t am and under his direction a number of the boys entered eagerly into the basket ball game. During the early part of the training, int r-ciass games were played and a real lighting spirit was evident. The Juniors led the other classes, not losing a game. After the inter-class contests interest settled on the training and selection of a team to r present the school in competition with other schools. Atlanta came to our gymn early in January with two teams. They returned with a victory and a loss, winning! the first team game and losing the second. This was no discouragement to the Sheridan lads as most of them wore player® of little or no experience, while the Atanta boys were veterans at the game. Renewed energy and spirit after the Atlanta game caused the defeat of the Westfield five a wo ok later. The Black and White players were at their best and led their opponents by the score of 10-12. This gave them added zeal and the attention of both coach and players was turned to the coming game with Boxley. This is always the best game of the season on th part of both schools as interest seems to center on the contest between them. It was more than important that the S. H. S. boys be playing th ir best game and use their greatest efforts towards winning this game. Sheridan had not won a game of basket ball from Boxl.y for four years and the Boxley players seem d to feel that it could not be don . However at the end of the game th Black and White players had def ated the Box’ey boys to the tune of 30-17. The scon at the end of the first h:.lf wa; 14-12 in favor of S. H. S. During the s c-or.d ha’f the coach introduced a five man defensive styl j of playing and Boxley was snowed under. Th • winning lads, by name, were Clyde Burton. David McMurtry, L'stor Richardson, Warren Stephenson and Jack Smglcton. Later in th:? season a second tume was p ayed on Boxley's floor and a real battle was displayed. Boxley won this game, 21-18. During the s ason games wei ■ played with Atlanta, Westfield, Cicero, Boxley, Noblesville, Carmel and Fish’r’s Station. At the County Tournament th ' boys played an excellent defensive game with plenty of teamwork but were unable to find the basket for winning points and lost to Westfield. At the Sectional Tournament the team displayed th best basket ball of the season, winning their first game and losing the second to Atlanta New suits were purchased this year and the appearance of the Sheridan team on a basket ball floor, dressed in Black and White uniforms was equaled (Concluded on page 28)
