,, ,,l,...gVN Y 4 Qleuimu nf the Eaakrihall Swann nf 1519 LTHOUGH only one member of last year's team was back this year, we had a most successful season in basketball. 'Fhroughout the winter term fifteen games were played with strong outside teams, and of this number only four were lost. Coach Harvey was with us again and great praise is due to him for the excellent instruction he gave the team during the season. As a result of his efforts our team was considered one of the very best schoolboy teams that had ever been seen in Newport, par- ticularly in regard to the accurate shooting of our forwards. The week after Thanksgiving Captain de Sibour called out a squad of about twenty players. After il fCW Pl'1lCtiCC Scrim- mages this was cut to the twelve most promising candidates, and the real work of getting in trim for the first game began. Unluckily the school was broken up early on account of influenza and the two games scheduled for December had to he cancelled. About a week after we returned from the Christmas vacation we won the first game of the season against a team representing the soldiers stationed at Fort Greble. The following Saturday. January ll, marked an easy victory over the Army and Navy Y.lXfI.C.A. of Newport. ln both of these games the accurate shooting of de Sibour and Duane showed that they were Capable of running up the score very quickly unless carefully guarded. On January I5 St. George's won a hard-fought contest with the lVIedical Department from the Naval 'liraining Station. At first it seemed that the victory would be easy, but as soon as the visitors got accustomed to the floor both teams were very evenly matched. ln the second half the shooting of the llledicals was greatly improved, but St. George's lead in the first half proved too great and we won with the score 32-28. A wt-Ck later St. George's won from the First Regiment, another training station team. By this time the team had devel- oped into a smoothly running machine and, while the game was as visitors as the one previous, the irk of the home team carried off an easy well played on the part of the team play and head wr victory. 1 On -fmmm-V 25 we suffered our first defeat at the hands of the Newport Y.lVI.C.A. This was due to the absence of our captain and the superior guarding of a heavier team. However, profiting by this loss, we won the next three games in swift succession. On Februarv 1 we beat the Richmond Athletic Club by the decisive score of 37-I-l-. From the beginning there was no question as to who would win and throughout the entire game our forwards scored again and again on signal plays and on long shots from the Hoor. The following VVednesday, February 5, we defeated a team calling themselves the Silent Five, being composed of graduates of Rogers High School. This was undoubtedly the hardest game so far encountered and the score was very close at first, but in the second half our guards solved their very swift system of short passes and we won 2-l-18. Three days later we again beat Fort Greble, this time on their own floor, which was very different from our own, having a low ceiling, but our accurate shooting stood us in good stead and we won by one basket. A fast Dean Academy team came down from Franklin on February 12, and beat us by a considerable score. Their accuracy on a strange floor, as well as their team work throughout the game, was remarkable and, though our team played well and put up a good fight, they outclassed us and clearly deserved the victory.
