oocer Season , l Not so good, yet 11ot so bad, considering the confused practices during the month of September. ' The reason for such a. predicament, was the lack of a Soccer Coach. Mr. Hurley, the coach of former years, was unable to render his services during the season, which left tl1e sport in a sta.te of confusion until Mr. Plum- mer, the former coach of Wfillialnsport came to Surrey as a teacher. Mr. Plum- mer then put the team back to old form again. But old form was llflt enough to stand tl1e strain of the playing of our neighboring teams. 1 To interfere with our procedure, Fair week came and practice fell off during tl1at time, Zllld the following week. Clearspring, now the County Ullillll- pions, met our brave warriors on the side of a rocky field and won to the tune of 3 to 0. This of course set our eyes open, but experience at times is a dear teacher. ' Our next game was to be played at home, against the Boonsboro teamg our boys felt confident of winning this game but at the end of the first half the score was but 1 to 0 in our favor and a hard fight. The second half opened with a score for Boonsboro. Team work was called for and our team booted the ball through the Boonsboro Goal for three more poi11ts winning by 4 to 1. 1 ' The Hancock eleven wo11 by the same 'score that Clearspring had beaten us, only the lll6tll0tl of scoring was diderent, two of the points were penalty kicks. One fine evening a man short but heavily built bythe name of Mr. Steward silently watched ns at practice, then introduced himself as a Once professional Soccer Player, voluntarily gave up a little of his time each day in showing us the fi11e Il0l1ltS of tl1e game. lVe had the next game with Smithsburg and with Mr. Steward's in- structions scored 4 points 011 a muddy field, while our goal keeper had the ball within his reach but a very few times. The hVllil2I1llSl'l01't game without a doubt will go down as the hardest fought game ill the county's history. Both teams were about equal, both tie in tl1e League standing and to be played on the lVilliamsport field. At the end of th first half it was 1. to 0 i11 tl1e lVilliamsport team's favor. During this half two players were tilkfill off the field on account of injuries received. ' ' The second half was a case of 'tget through regardless of the conse- quences. Players bei11g knocked down right a11d left and about four or tive minutes before tl1e final, the lvilliamsport players in tl1e confusion of a corner kick scored against themselves. ' At the end of the period the score stood 1 to 1.. , An extra fifteen minutes was played, before a score which was to our favor, winning the game 2 to 1, and placing Hagerstown third place in the league, one point behind. Hancock. This ended the county Soccer season, but Mr. Steward continued to train the team and the next season's prospect. Games were played with'Han' cock, during this time and it was ill these games that Hagerstown scored on Hancock for the first time since the year 1921. If Mr. Steward is to be found during the 1924-25 sea.son theother county teams will have to work mighty hard to .win the St2li'GS-Cl1211IlplO1lSi1lll. Sfiarty-eight

Girls' Basket Ball Review VVhen one glances at the title Girls' Basket-Ball Reviewv the first thought which comes i11to our minds is whether the team had a successful sea- son. Let me state that never in the history of Broadway has a more successful season been witnessed. VVhen Captain Jo Spielman called for candidates for the team, about eighteen answered the call. Uf the eighteen players, six were members of last years' team and they have had several years experience in basket-ball. Wfith the aid of Miss Hunt, Physical Director of the Y. M. C. A. who was a member of the Temple University Basket-ball team, a wonderful sextette was soon rounded into shape. Miss Hunt instilled into the team the idea. of co-operation and team play. After many weeks of hard training and practice the team started out on the hardest schedule in the career of the school. Besides the customary games with Martinsburg, VVaynesboro and Cham- bersburg, games were scheduled with the Normal School, Cumberland, Fred- erick High School, Frederick Mute Team, Temple University Second Team, and Penn Hall. Ma.ny of these games required every ounce of energy and team play of our team but you always found Broadway on top. Of the seven- t96l1 games pla.yed by the girls, eleven were won. Two games were played and at the elltl of the game the score was tie. Most of the neighboring towns feared our team because they had defeated such teams as the Normal team and Mar- tinsburg. Every iight for victory was marked by the clean playing of the girls. Nothing blemishes their record and they have set a goal for the team of 1924-25 to reach. It is o11ly justice that a few words of praise be given Mr. John R. VVilson, Physical Director of the Y. M. C. A. for the service he rendered the telllll after the departure of Miss Hunt. Although he did 11ot take charge of the team until the season was almost over, yet his services to the team and the school were appreciated. Of the entire team only one member will be lost through graduation. Wfe may rightly say that the team will go through next season undefeated. S'ev0m5y
