THE THALIA Troy won the league championship with nine wins and one loss, and on only five occasions was she held under 30 points, while the most her opponents could gather in one game was 32 points. Next year’s team will probably be formed around the three letter men left, and if the Baker-Smith combination works as it should, they should go far, and be hard for any team to stop. With six members of this year’s team graduating, there will be room on the squad for several new men. Much credit for the team’s successful season should go to Coach Cole, and Managers Pailet and Bradford, who devoted their time unsparingly to the welfare of the team. Captain Don Green—Center In Den we feel that we had one of the best centers in Southeastern Ohio. Don was a good floor man as well asa good shot. He was the high scorer on the team, and besides securing the tip-off practically all of the time, held his opponents to less than half of his points. His unusual ability won him a place on the “ALL COUNTY” team. Under Don’s leadership we had a very successful season. This is Don’s last year and, needless to say, his place will be hard to fill, and he will be greaty missed both by the players and fans. Leo Baker—Right Forward “Lee” was a good shot who combined clever offensive play with good defensive work. Fie received mention on “ALL COUNTY” and “ALL DISTRICT” teams. Leo has two more years cn the squad and if he continues to show as he has he will be a hard man to stop. Charles Smith—Left Forward Charley did some very fine playing, especially in the Tournament. He secured a place on the “ALL-COUNTY” team which is a great distinction for a Sophomore. He has two more years to play. Charley was a good shot, and he was the individual high scorer in the County Tournament. William Westervelt—Left Guard Bill contributed as much to the success of the team as any other player, with the probable exception of Don. Bill was considered one of the best guards in the county. It was hard for the fastest opponent to score when Bill was on him. If the opponents had an especially hard man to hold, the coach would say, “Bill, that’s your man.” Bill would grin and say, “I’ll hold him.” This is Bill’s last year, and his place will be a difficult one to fill. Ralph Callaway—Right Guard In the “Old Man,” Troy had a very fine guard who held his opponents to a small score and invariably broke into the scoring column. He was mentioned on the “ALLDISTRICT” team. Ralph has one more year and should show up well. Argyl Vorhies, William Griffin (Bill), Milton O’Niel (Red) Harry Booth (Scrim mager) Joseph Chase (Joe) and George Guilbert did not play in every game, but in the ones they played they showed up well. Only the superior playing of the regulars kept these boys from first team berths. Of these, Argyl, Bill, Red, and Scrimmager graduate. page twenty-eight

THE THALIA In the basketball team of 1928-1929 Troy High School feels that she had one of the best teams in the history of the school. Of the 19 games played Troy won 16. Only two teams are able to claim a victory over us. Those teams are Hollister and Frankfort. After two pre-season games we went to Hollister and dropped our first league game to them by a five point margin. The team seemed to go somewhat stale in the District Tournament, and lost out in the quarter finals to Frankfort by three points. Troy can boast a clean record on her home floor for the year just ended. During the three years the gymnasium has been in use, the Trojans have dropped only one game, a practice tilt, by two points. Troy feels that only one loss in 35 games played on the home floor is a record to be proud of, and hope the succeeding teams will keep up this good record.
