With The Bogs Ball Team AT the close of the present basketball season, the Troy basketeers did not hold a very enviable record. Although the boys were unable to coax the score to the Troy side, the team worked hard to try to accomplish the desired end—victory. The ball squad consisted of about fifteen boys. The first team was composed of George Lynch, center; Jimmy McLaren and Lawrence Holter, guards; Gerald Bibbee and Ernest Travis, forwards. Boyd Jeffers, Carl Calaway, Donald Deeter and Arthur Heiney were used as substitutes and were given many opportunities to play. Others on the squad were Leon White. Clyde White, Clarence Deeter, Victor Russell, Glen Sharp and Roy Bush. The first three named on the first team are graduating this year, so their last game for Troy has been played. The schools in the county did not form a county league this year, but each school formed a league with other schools close to it. Troy, with Bartlett, An s-Bern and Rome, formed a league and each played the other teams twice, l ne scores given below are for the games played in this league only: BOYS’ SCORES Tray 7 Bartlett 41 Troy 4..................'.......................

Rome 33 With The Girls’ Ball Team THE Troy girls unfortunately met with little success this school year as far as basketball was concerned. Although they were fast, clean players, it seems that luck was against them. Although always losers, the Troy girls were never quitters. Always like true Trojans they fought through the games with all their strength trying to narrow the margin of defeat, even when victory did seem impossible. Troy’s first team was composed of Louise Ward and Myrtle Kincade, forwards; Fern Medley. Erma Russell, Mildred Swearingen, guards; and Doris Bond, at center. Gertrude Deeter, Inez Brafford, Mary Louise Wolf, and Mabel Calaway acted as substitutes for the above positions. The girls played fast, clean ball, and although the final score was always against tnem. they held the opponent’s score to a low level. Louise Ward, Fern Medley, Erma Russell and Doris Bond are graduating this year, so next year’s team will depend upon the newer material for its members. The scores listed below represent the games played in the Ames-Bern, Bartlett. Rome. Troy League, and not all the games played this season.
