86 THE NORMAL LIGHT 1926 Baseball of 1926 I Baseball is not the success at State Normal School this year that it has been in former years owing to the lack of material. Then too the Senior Class which has heretofore furnished the major number of players, was unable to render many candidates this year. Only three members of the varsity team are here to strengthen the new players. Nevertheless, the aspirants for the team came together and under the keen and scruti- nizing supervision of Professor H. D. Jacobs of Hampton Institute, Hamp- ton, Va.. they organized and began to perfect a team. The season was scarcely under way when the Annual went to press but so far the boys were exercising in perfect form the Old Normal Spirit. Having played only two galmes thus far, we have won one and lost one. THE LINE-UP PROFESSOR H. D. JACOBS ...... .L ..... ....

88 THE NORMAL LIGHT 1926 . BASKETBALL OF 1925-26 U Never before in the history of the school has State Normal hadsuch a girls' basketball team as it now possesses. The unlimited and untiring work of Mrs. S. Davis Young of Tuskegee. Ala., has developed in every respect the best team in Northeastern North C'arolina. The season opened on Thanksgiving Day with an inte-r-class game between the 3rd and 4th year girls. It was quite interesting contest thru- out the entire game. The game ended with a score of 13-8 in favor of the 3rd year girls. Our next game was played December 11th, on our campus, versus the Winfall High School. Our girls romped to victory by a score of 23-0 'On December 15th, we marched Quietly yet sternly to the court of City High School there to scalp the girls of that school 24-3. Followed by a bunch of thrifty rooters. our team journeyed to Winfall on February 26th and walked triumphantly over the Winfall team to a tune of 14-3. . Tuesday, March 23rd, brought us to the Hertford High School girls who fell before the onslaught of the Normalites by a. score of 28-8. With an unmarred reputation of having won every game played this season, we hold the title of High School Championship in Basketball in Northeastern North Carolina. THE LINE-UP MRS. s.
