Coach, Boys' Basketball At the opening of the basketball season about forty boys were out for practice. Our policy, this year, was to give all who came out, prac- tice, and consequently a large number were out to every practice. Due to this large num- ber it was impossible for the main team to re- ceive as much practice as some other previous teams. We opened our season on November 29, with a game at Lafayette, After playing a hard game we were defeated 22-33. The first game on our home floor was played on the following Friday night, December 2. Gomer came as our guests and left with the big end of an 11-26 score. After a two weeks' rest we motored to Ohio City on December 20, but only to come back defeated. 23-39. A strong team from Union came here on De-- cember 22. After a hard fought battle we were defeated 20-23. During the Christmas vacation. on Decem- ber 27, Shawnee came here and defeated us 21-28. On January 6, our luck changed and we mo- tored to Harrod and easily defeated them by a large score of 32-19. South Reserve from Lima came tl1e follow- ing Friday evening, on the 13th of .Ianuary, and after a very close and hard fought game de- feated us one point, 22-23. On January 20, Lafayette motored here and we were determined not to ruin their record by defeating us 32-35. The following week we journeyed to Shaw- nee determined to get even with them but we came back defeated, 25-39. On February 3, Harrod came here for re- venge and after a hard fought battle they took the large end of the score, 27-31. The next game was played at the South High School Auditorium with their reserves. Our team could not get used to the large floor and we were defeated 16-37.

A number came out for practice and out of these a good team was se- lected. In the spring of 733. we played our first league game with Gomer at Gomer and we came home defeated. The next game was with Shawnee at Shawnee and failing to find our hittinig stride returned home defeated. Some of the games have been canceled or postponed due to conflict with other School Activities and a few are yet to be played so we cannot give a complete score. The games yet to be played are the follow- ing: Elida here, Harrod there, Lafayette there. intra-Mural Tournament A good deal ot' interest was displayed in the Intra- lilnral tournament this year.
