Champion Edna Moore Eleanor Shafer Emma Zaugg The girls' basket ball team opened its sched- ule with Farmington as an opponent on Cham- pion's floor September 21, with fair prospects for a good season. When Edna Moore, a Senior, who was a star guard during her fresh- man and sophomore years, but who did not come out for the team during her junior year, decided to wear the purple and gold once more. optimism for a successful season ran high. Up to mid-season the girls had lost just one game and this by the small margin of two points. At this time the team was weakened considerably by the loss to the squad of rose Spisak, one of Champion's stellar guards, who was forced to withdraw on account of parental objections. , The team reached the peak of form on No- vember 9, when they played Bloomfield on Blomfield's floor, winning 29 to 19. Bloom- field was doped to Win and Bloomfield fans wanted to bet 10 to 1 that their girls would cop, but Champion was keyed to Win, so the dope was upset-that's all. Following this game the team went into a slump, dropping two out of four starts. When the season opens next fall the team will miss the services of Edna Moore and Emma Zaugg on account of graduation. But notwithstanding this loss the prospects for a successful season next year are very good. The chief reason for this optimism is, the caliber of this year's B squad which was one of the strongest ever developed at Champion. They were successful in 7 out of 8 starts, losing the eighth by a margin of one point.

Champion Stanley Sliver Raymond Williams Frank Kolar Boys' Basketball The boys' basketball team opened its season at home on December 6, with a decisive vic- tory over Meccag score S1 to 21. On January 4, the boys went to Mineral Ridge to play. This was during holiday sea- son, and theicoach and some of the players were not present, and some of the boys had been Working hard all day so the team was not in condition to play. The boys lost by a score of 25 to 29. ' We lost our second game on January 25, to Lordstown on their floor. This seemed due mostly to a slump. The boys could roll the ball over the hoop, around the hoop, but could not roll it through. We lost by two points, score 25 to 27. Up to the present time the boys have lost games by 11 total of 6 points, and outscored their opponents by more than 100 points. We are very optimistic about next season, though we lose one man Qand a good onej, Frank Kolar, through graduation. The boys have had a very successful season, disregarding the fact that the coach and the boys did not get together until time for the season to start, and some of he boys did not get out until late. The B squad has a standing of betting than 700, so we feel that next season should be a better season than the present one.
