GIRLS’ BASKETBALL SPORTS The Bryan High girls’ basketball team has just closed probably the most suc- cessful season it has ever known. The girls won for the third successive time the county championship and gained thereby the permanent possession of the handsome basketball trophy given by Park’s Jewelry Store. The girls of this flashy sextet are as follows: forwards, Eunice Graham and Edna Smith; guards, Louise Godwin and Josephine Merka; centers, Iola Barron (captain) and Ruth Weddington. The substitutes are Bess Lichte (captain-elect), Jane Singletary, Pauline Thurman, and Gladys Rawls. At the close of the season all these girls were awarded white sweaters marked with the green “B.” The games played and the result of each are as follows: Faculty 10 ----------------------------- Bryan 42 Consolidated 9 Bryan 16 Wheolock 24 Bryan 18 Wheelock 7 Bryan 12 Navasota 31 ---------------------------- Bryan 16 Navasota 17 Bryan 14 Tabor 15---------------------------------Bryan 20 Ball Hi 8 Bryan 37 Consolidated 3-------------------------- Bryan 19 Kurten 24 Bryan 31 At the close of the season a dinner was given for the team by the captain, Iola Barron. On this occasion a fountain pen and pencil set was presented to their much loved coach, Miss Julia Schovajsa, who has spent her time tirelessly for the on- going of the team, and the success of this team is due to her capable and efficient leadership and coaching. All through the season and in every game the team played together for one aim, “To play the game and play it fairly.” It cannot be said of any one player that she was outstanding. The team was outstanding wholly and not individually, and the seniors leaving the team, as well as the rest of the seniors, wish to this team an even more successful season next year than this.

Austin High School was again fortunate in having a team whose impetuous tide of victory was checked only a few times and in the end failed by inches to submerge their opponents at the State meet. In the majority of the contests in which the Bronc cagers entered, they were victorious. Especially commendable work was done by the Bronchos in the Sam Houston State Teachers’ College Tournament. For this work, an attractive trophy, repre- senting first place, rests in the trophy case with the laurels of other years. Bryan easily defeated her county rival who was represented this year by Edge. The district and the bi-district games held no terrors, and it was only at the hands of San Jacinto, runner up in the State meet, that the Bronchos were nosed out by one point. Honors came to two Bryan players when “Nat” Carroll and Captain J. T. Lang were named on All-state teams. Gordon Edge, flashy forward, was elected captain and Lawrence Parker, a vet- eran forward was chosen as Co-captain. Letters were awarded to the following men who will return next year; Edge, Parker, Johnson, and Lang. The following Broncho lettermen have scored their final goal for the school which has so deeply appreciated their industriousness and teamwork; Lawless and Carroll.
