Action Shota ob oun '.?inat gootball Seaaon Garfield, already a friendly cross-town rival. But these defeats merely made our late season comeback more exciting, We had a near victory in our second encounter with Garfield, losing on a single conver- sion, and a fighting Taft eleven gave Portsmouth a real battle for three and one-half periods before going down in defeat in the closing minutes of the contest. According to the record we had a losing season, V-.X f :N-f tl' --fzff, xx sz, 'sf' . ?.m53y,. x fviif- A., X ' -fi 'X fy' 'll,I':-.-.vfo fig' 4-Q., snuff' T 1 1. ng' Y but to us it was a good one in many respects. Al- though continually de- feated, neither our team nor the student body ever became discouraged. The Tigers continued to work hard, practicing long hours, and their efforts were rewarded when, after losing nine straight games, they climaxed the season with a satisfying Holiday Debut victory. We hope it will be the first of many for Taft l-ligh School. ?m.,f 1' , V c,e'X iw-aj 51.7 ,V I 5,

l l VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM-Left to Right, First Row: Bill Kiefer Manager, Kendall Fields, Jerry Carr, Mark Hopkins, Le- xester Printup, Dave Fischer, Second Row: Mr. l-ledrick, Coach, Richard Burton, Mike Burg, Lee Purdy, Jim Patterson, Art Sav- age Wtilfer Betscher. Defeated by Portsmouth 64-40, Taft School was initiated into basketball competition as a member of the Greater Ohio League. In the coming season, the Tigers were to face a rough schedule including bouts with some of the top schools in Ohio. But the l-ledricmen , although lacking in experience, faced their competition with determination and ambition, each player having the self-desire to improve himself and his team, As the team progressed toward its goals, it represented Taft with the best of its ability and gained public recogni- tion. Much progress was noticed during the sea- son, The first game with our cross-town rivals, the powerful Garfield Griffins, resulted in a moral victory for Taft. Inspired by 2,000 cheer- ing Taft fans, the Tigers led at one time l4-2 and out played their Garfield rivals through most of the game although they finally over- powered. The second Garfield game, played on the opponent's court, was a hard one for us to lose. The Tigers were paced by Kendall Fields who scored 25 points in this game. During the season the squad was well sup- ported by the band, the Roaring Tigers, and a spirited student body ably led by the cheer- leaders. A bright future is seen for Taft next year. Returning to the squad will be many under- classmen who were active this past season.
