Although we had lost four regulars last year by graduation, Coach Dodd soon had a squad working together nicely. ' W The first game of the season was with Elida and we won our first game by the score of 6-8. The following week we met the fast Delphos St. Johns team and as they had a seasoned team were able to defeat us 32-6. Lafayette was our next opponent and as there was keen rivalry the game promised to be fast. This was our first home game and the team made a good showing despite the fact that they lost 24-11. Christmas week we met the Alumni team, composed of former high school stars. This game proved to be one of the most exciting contests of the year. The game was fast and close, but the Alumni won 28-26. Our next game was with the boasted St. Rose team. The game was close and in the last quarter they rallied and won 21-14. The following week we met and lost to Lafayette for the second time in a slow and uneventful game, the score being 29-8. The boys, however, settled down and were determined to redeem themselves and started by Winning their next game from Elida by the large score of 22-9. They also annexed another victory' from Rockford in another fast game by the score of 24-14. St Marys were our next opponents and broke our Winning streak for they beat us in a fast and furious battle by one basket. The score stood 22-20. The following week was basket ball week in S.. H. S. because the annual tournament was set for Friday. The boys were planning to accomplish a feat neverbefore accom- plished, Win a Tournament. We drew Beaverdam and after defeating them 17-18, met Bluffton to have our hopes shattered for they were able to beat us in the final seconds by a lucky basket. The game ended with. the score 10-9. Vaughnsville won the tournament and Forest took second place. We again met Rockford and won in an easy game 24-14. The following week we were entered in the County Tournament and again hoped to attain fame but were defeated in our first game by Delphos St. Johns. However, in the consulation series we defeated Lafayette 19-15, but lost to Gomer 33-13. Celina was our next opponent and in a fast, rough game defeated us 35-21. The last two games of the season with Mendon who were our victims both times. We won the first 16-10. The final game at Mendon was rather rough but we won 19-9 despite the unfavorable condition of their gym. Altho at the Hrst of the season the team was rather handicapped by having prac- tically a green team, we think fthe team and Coach Dodd deserve much credit for the showing they made. They won eight Out of the eighteen games played and most of the games lost were only several points. Although we lose Post, Cole, Klienoeder and DeLong by graduation, we are expecting to have one of the fastest teams in the County next year. 28

An unusual number turned Nb 4 tix. .af . . . out. Three of our players are missing since last year, but these have been ' Tfif' 'YW replaced. Season opened November 21 at Elida and we won by the score of 9-8. The first half of this looked good for Spencerville, the score being 7-3. ln the second half we were somewhat handicapped as we had to play half girls' rules, but we were able to win by the score of 9-8. The second game of the season we went to Delphos, with good intentions of winning over the St. Johns girls, but reached there only to be disappointed. They had only had a few practices and due to this, they were forbidden to play. Another disappointment occured December 12. A game had been scheduled with Lafayette girls, but a ferw days before, we received a letter saying their girls team had broken up. Determined to play, we decided to have a preliminary. We were divided, one side wearing blue middies and the other side white middies. The blues were victorious, the final score being 10-6. On December 26 we played the Alumni. Although one of our best forwards could not play we won by the score of 3-2. The High School Score was made by three foul shoots, but due to the fact, 'we were unable to master our passwork with a sub- forward, as she had had little practice. January 16 we met the Elida girls here. We won by the close score of 12-10. We were compelled to play all girl's rules this time, bud we were better prepared for them. January 23 we motored to Rockford, but not very good spirits of a victory. Due to the fact we had been shut out by them last year. They retained the same players, but We were able to make a little better showing, the final score being 29-3 and this was our first defeat. January 29 we went to St. Marys. VVe were not so sure of a victory here either, but the final score was 16-13 in our favor. ' February 6 our'old rivals, Rockford, motored here. We were all expecting a defeat, but at the end of the game, the tide had turned and we won the game, the score being 19-16. February 11 We played Lima Normal Girls and won by the score of 24-18. February 20 we again met the Alumni Girls but with more success than the first time, winning by a score of 43-3. February 27 we engaged in a tournament at Lima, but to our disappointment We were defeated by Bluffton, 14--1-. March 6 We met Lima Normal Girls and were victorious by the score of 18-10. March 13 we again met Lima Normal at Lima. This being our last game we wanted to add another victory to our list. Although it was Friday the 13th it proved lucky for us, as we won the final score being 30-20. 30
