Bristol D . Bristol H. S. Basketball The girls Basketball Teams deserve only the highest praise for the way in which they carried on a losing fight during the 1928 season. It is easy enough to play the game if there are occasional victories to cheer a tealng but only the best of sports can lose game after game, still smile and keep going. In thal respect the Bristol Girls won victories of even greater improtanee than a winning score. From all indications next season will probably be more successful. None of the players will be lost by graduation and the Junior High has promising material. With the same '4Stick and grin spirit again in evidence the 1929 season ought to have many surprises in store for the girls. Among the sports of Bristol High School, Boys Basketball is not to be slighted. We are proud to support a team this season that has been capable of up holding the high stand- ards in basketball as set by Barbe, Shaffer, Hyde, List, Shaws. Lyman. Gale, Fenstermaker, Clyborn, and Seeman of past seasons. The cagers of 1928-'29 have come through t.he season with onlythree defeats. Among the victories are Cortland, F owler, Farmington, Greene, Kinsman, Mecca, Vienna, Gustavus and Mesopotamia, while they have met defeat by Cortland, Champion, and McDonald. We grieve for the loss of only one man this season, Maenpaa, who graduated this semester. But with such men as YanDervort, Carpenter, Leatherberry and Beible to take his place there is no reason why, they will not chalk up many victories the coming school year. 1929-'30. C. MACK, Y. CARPENTER, G. VANDERVORT, E. LEATHERBERRY, R. HOY, C. COOPER, F. E. CLARK, Conch, F. PETERSON, L. LENNEY, E. MAENPAA, D. COOPER.
