 BASKETBALL Joel Hull has conducted a commendable season of athletics during the past year, both as a valued assistant to Mr. Higgins in football and with his major sport, basketball. Although this was the first year for basketball and the material was green, Coach Hull's team showed up remarkably well in competition with neighboring schools. Mr. Hull obtained his experience and schooling at Wesleyan University and since then has taken coaching under Spear of Minnesota and Bible, Black and Schulte, all of Nebraska. Basketball, being a new sport in the Tecumseh High School, gained very little prestige during its infant year However, the feeling is entertained that a great deal has been accomplished in this line by Coach Hull. The percentage of games won was slightly below the 50% mark, but the team worked under the handicap of having no suitable place for practice. Tom Aitken was elected honorary Captain at the close of the season by a vote of the letter men. The following men made and were awarded their letter: Aitken, Story, White, Oellrich, Hendrix, Floerke, Wright, and Gould.
