ECHOES BOYS' ATHLETICS The boys' basketball team of the past season was the most successful team that Warren High has produced for about six years. A great deal of the success of the team is due to the way i11 which Sydney W. Jones coached it. Mr. Jones is noted in this vicinity for his ability to' develop good teams out of the ordinary material. ' Whenthe basketball season started, Warren Highls chances for a successful year were considered good. Fout letter men from the year before and about twenty-five or thirty recruits reported to Coach jones the first night of practice. The number stayed about the same for two weeks and some unexpected thing happened. The recruits dropped out one by one until at the end of the season there were ujst enough for two teams out to practice. When the team was getting what they thought was a good start their center, Norman, was declared ineligible. This was a very critical time for such a thing to happen as the first Niles game was just a week off. The team was rounded into the best shape that could be secured under the circumstances and went to Niles. Warren lost by the score 10 to 7. After the Niles game two more scholastic games were lost and then came the second game of the Niles Series. Warren started off in great fashion in the first half of the game and it was thought a comfortable lead on the Niles team. However, the fighting spirit of Niles was not counted on and it was only after a' few minutes of fierce fighting, that our side came out victorious. ' After the Niles game, the team took a lacing at the hands of the Oil City High School team, runners up for the State Championship of Pennsylvania. Although this team was worthy of beating the local team, it seemed to put a bad taste in their mouths and from then on it was hard to taste defeat. The team won the next live games, the largest number of games ever won in succession by any preceding Warren High team. Included in these live straight victories, are two gameS away from home, one at East Liverpool and the other at Alliance. This was the first time that Warren High ever competed w1th'East Liverpool for Athletic laurels. The victory over Alliance was the first one ever gained by Warren on Alliance's floor. ' The High School team showed a great defensive throughout the whole season, only four scholastic teams being able ro score more than twenty points on them. The boys were a little late in acquiring a good offensive but in the latter part of the season they had an offence as strong as their defense. The team will lose two members by graduation this year, Lerch being a veteran ofthree years and Ridghley of two years There are very good prospects for a good team next season as there will be four letter men back and some valuable material SEASON'S SCORES Warren High ....... ....
