Warren Township K 1928 FOOTBALL SQUAD Top Row: A. L. Bascom, Supt.g Herlinger, Bishop, Hoffaker, Wcant, Savellc, Weir, Coach Tewksbury. Bottom Row: James, Gams, Dager, Fowlcr,' Raines, Drescher, Brobst. It is common law that it takes eleven men to play the game of football, but many authori- ties state that it takes at least twenty-two men to make a team come through one thousand per cent. Leavittsburg's 1928 football squad consisting of thirteen men came through with a seven hundred per cent. season. With this fact in mind Leavitsburg has everygreason to feel proud of the showing of her boys and their eflicient coach. l - A At such an early date, predictions for next year are rather hazardous due to the loss of five of the outstanding players through graduation, but the outlook is far from discouraging. The coaching staff wishes 'to commend the five graduates, Captain W. Fowler, K. Weant, J. Savelle, J. Gams and H. Weir upon their super playing and fine football spirit through- out the season. Space alone prohibits the writer from giving Worthy praise to every member thatmay come ltheir way concerning their record on the xfootball team. 1 A

Warren Township 1 1 i i GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM, 1928-29 Left to Right: Mary Biggard, Katherine Gams, Gertrude Penry, Irene Franciscon, Georgiana Tillotson, Page jones, 'Anna Dade, Lillian Folland, Georgia W'eant, Gertrude Mclieown, Myrtle Remalia, Manager, M. Shafer, coach. Girls' Basketball Team, 1928-29 The girls' basketball season has been decid- edly successful. It lacked excitement until we entered the tournament. We were not a seeded team but old determination took a hand here and we won from Kinsman, a seeded team, 36-27. McDonald, our next opponent was vanquished in an exciting overtime game, 25-20. Braceville then fell victim to Leavitts- burgls on-rush, 36-13. In the semi-finals we drew Brookfield, a strong team, but our never-say-die spirit made the game ours by the close score of 23-22. Howland proved victorious by six points in the Hnal game, and thus ended the tournament, but not our sea- son. s Our post season games took us into a class of larger and stronger schools, but we thrived on competition. At Lisbon, after a sliding good time, we returned with -a 33-18 victory. We defeated the Warren Normal girls 36-14. The highly touted Salem girls gave us a scare, but we hnally located the basket and won, 29-28, and in the closing game of the '28-'29 season Leavittsburg again bet Salem by the de- cisive score of 24-8. ' We were especially pleased when Irene Franciscon and Katherine Gams were named on the all-county team and Gertrude McKeown received honorable mention. To these we ex- tend our congratulations. Irene Franciscon, forward, was small but dangerous. Page, forward, tall and speedy, al- ways came through in the pinches. Lillian played forward or guard wherever we needed her. Leave it to Bill. Gertrude, heady and aggressive, was center and captain. Mary and Gertrude, both small but dependable, and Katherine, our little track flash, ,filled the guard position. Georgia, Anna, and Georgiana, our reserves, could always be counted on in an emergency. Myrtle Remalia, manager, de- served much credit for her efficient work. And lastly, we would express our appreciation to Coach Mildred Smail-Shaffer, whose efforts have made this the most brilliant girls' season in the history of our school.
