ECHO The Roanoke Alumni Basketball Team The Roanoke Alumni Basketball Team of the season of 1925-26 again proved to be one of the best teams in Central Illinois by winning aj majority of their games with worthy opponents. Their record of thirteen wins out of twenty-three games played is outstanding because of the high class basketball exhibited by all teams engaged. Displaying good team Work and featuring clean, aggressive basketball the entire season, the Alumni Team upheld the standard of Roanoke Athletics, that is, always showing goo-d sportsmanship regardless of the final results. 1 William Riley again served in the capacity of neanager. The results of his good work were shown in the high grade of basketball presented to the fans here. Paul DeVVasme handl-ed the books in approved fashion as is always his custom.
