The first game of the season played with the Ohio Lamp, was a regular walk-away for W. H. S., ending with the score, 43-O. The next game was played with Hiram at Warren and War- ren won by a score of 33-17. This made a fine start for the year, and the team met their first defeat at Niles, where they went January 29. This was rather an unfair game for the rules under which they played, were practically made up by Niles, and the Warren girls knew nothing about them. However, they put up a good Fight and almost succeeded in defeating them, the score being 15-17. A . The team again proved that they could play basketball, when they handed the highly praised Ohio Business Institute girls their second defeat of the season, by a score of 25-4. This game was to have been played with New Lyme, but on

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 ....... ....

N T iECHOESs - account of the scarlet fever at Salem, was cancelled, and played with the Ohio Business College. The game was played under boy's rules, and this was the first entire sgame of the season to be played under boys' rules. Randell made six baskets and one foul, Foley four baskets ad Foster one. Randell and Foley played especially good games, and not enough credit can be given to Seeds and Foster for their good guarding. '- On February 11, the team lost the second game of the season at Willoughby. The Warren girls played under a disadvantage, as the Willoughby girls were much taller. One of them was six feet, three inches, looking like a giant alongside the Warren guards, and was able to do almost anything with the ball, on account of her commanding height. Randell and Foley starred. The next game Was played with our rival, Niles, and the W. H. S. girls secured revenge for the trimming handed them at Niles. The first half was played under Warren rules and the second half under Niles rules. The change in rules didn't seem to make any difierence to the teams although for the first period, the Warren girls seemed unable to hit the basekt, but in the last period they accounted for this. To Hy goes a great deal of the credit for the victory. She played the best game of her career. Marie Foley, Hy's side partner, also played a fine game, and her work in carrying the ball down toward the goal line was exceptional. She made all three points in the first half. jimmy Seeds showed that she could play, altho playing against a forward, a head taller than she. This is jimmy's Hrst year on the team, and she has certainly come to the front in showing us her ability as a basket ball player. Hawkins played forward in the half played under Niles rules and to her goes the credit for making the only basket shot by either side in that half. Foster who was in half the game, played a good game, and Whitman, Evans and Coe played for all they were worth durnng all the game. The game ended with the score 11-3. February 25, the team went t Farrell Where they somewhat surprised the Farrell team by easily defeating them s2-5. Whitnum, Coe and Foster starred in this game. Hy, was unable to play in the game because of illness, and without the captain, the girls felt that the game would be much harder, but Hawkins who took her place, did splendid work and al- gholtlgh she had a very tall guard, managed to make several as ets. The next game was also with Farrell but played at Warren, and of course the W. H. S. team won again by a score of 39-O. The team simply walked-off with Farrell not even giving them a chance to make one basket. Hy was back in the game again, and scred sixteen points. Foley scored 23. Whitnum did line work and also Seeds, Foster and Wulf. On March 11, the team was to play East Palestine but this game was cancelled, and they played Kent Normal instead. This was easily won by the score of 30-10. 1n this game, Marie Foley, one of our star players, was injured and was unable to play the rest of the game. On Friday, March 19, the Willoughby girls again defeated our girls by six points, the score being 35-29. Randell and Coe starred, Randell making 28 of the 29 points. The next game Was to have been with Sharon but was cancelled and played with Niles instead. The Niles team defeated our girls by a very narrow margin. The game as Lisbon, January 18, was won by Warren. The last game of the season was played with the Duchess girls, the Champions. W. H. S. team was defeated, the score being 25-14. Hy', Randell scored thriteen of the four- teen points. Hawkins kept the Duchess forward from making several baskets and Seeds and Foster played excellent games' This ends the basketball season of 1921, with nine victories and only four defeats. This makes a very successful year in spite of the fact that there were just thirteen games- played.
