THE THALIA 19 2 7 Girls’ IBnskttiaU The girls who were interested in basketball were requested to remain after school for practice. After little practice of that sort, we met and organized. We played our first game with Tuppers Plains. We lost the game 2 to 0 because we had had very little practice. We next met Amesville on their court. We again lost 24 to 2, after a hard fought game. Our team was rather broken up for a time then; as one player quit, and another could not play any longer. We again organized. We had the honor of appearing in the first game played in our new gym, opposing the Amesville girls. We played a hard game, but one of our players was ill at the time, so that the game ended with a score of 34 to 0 in favor of the visitors. We next played Tuppers Plains on our floor, losing by a score of 4 to 2. Our next game, which was with the same school, gave us our only decisive victory of the season, with a score of 4 to 1. The game with Stewart, played on our floor, resulted in defeat by a close score of 6 to 4. Encourage by these recent results we entered our last game, with Canaanville, determined to win. It was a close game. It should have been a tie, but due to some argument, the visitors were supposed to win with a 5 to 6 result. Our team organization was as follows: Captain ........................................... Lorena Ward Manager Gladys Kincaid LINE-UP Right Forward ............................ Lorena Ward (Midge) Left Forward .................—............. Bertha Ward (Billy) Center ................................... Edna Nestor (Nestor) Right Guard Mildred Newland (Peggy) Left Guard ..................................... Gladys Kincaid (Tommy) Substitute ........................ Lucy Mae Daugherty (Shorty) 28

The question for county debate this year was “Resolved: That Capital Punishment Should Be Abolished.” After much study on the question and several trips to the Carnegie Library at Athens, the following debaters were chosen to represent Troy High in the triangle consisting of Coolville, New Marshfield, and Albany: Affirmative— Edna Nestor Gantz Watkins Hazel Bloomer Edwin Wildman, Alternate Negative— Myrta Nestor Susan Foster Marvin Dodd Mildred Newland, Alternate Our affirmative team, debating at home, won the decision by a margin of a single point over the negative team representing the school that was later proclaimed County Champions for this year—Albany. Our negative team journeyed to New Marshfield where we lost by four points. But as New Marshfield lost at Albany by seventeen points, this gave the first place in our triangle to Albany, thus barring us from further participation. 27

Here Coolville was again victorious, with a score of 26 to 20. The next week we visited Amesville. When we left, we brought with us a score of 21 to 8. Then we invited Amesville down to Coolville to play on our new gym floor. They came with determination to win this game, but they went home with another defeat of 25 to 8. New Marshfield, also, wanted revenge, but this was not attainable at Coolville; so they also went home with a defeat of 8 to 2. The rest of the games were played on our home floor. Tuppers Plains visited us and returned home with a score of 38 to 11 in our favor. The next game was canceled on account of high water. This was to be held with Lodi. The next week we played Stewart with another victory of 28 to 13. Another victory was added to our fist when we played Tuppers Plains again—28 to 12. Also the’ next game was played with the same school with a score of 17 to 14. Then Canaanville thought they could win a victory, but their efforts were of no avail. They also went home with a defeat of 48 to 12. At last, we met defeat in our last game. This was with G1 ouster, the score being 34 to 15. Even at that, there is some satisfaction in knowing that our only defeat was at the hands of the winners in the Athens Countv loumament. 29
