Wheelersburg. In addition to the eighteen county league games that the Senators went through with no defeats, they played New Boston, Portsmouth East, Central Catholic, Dayton Roosevelt, Xenia Central, and Western Rural. V The Senators won twenty-three games during the season while dropping three. Two of these defeats were to Portsmouth East by one-point each, and the other loss was suffered at the hands of strong Xenia Central. Our boys were handicapped severely at mid-year as Cliff Williams passed the age limit and Alfred Nelson was graduated. The loss of these two boys, who had played excellent ball the first semester, had a marked effect on the team as was shown by the defeat at Athens. It is easily seen by his record on the next page that Lefty Nelson was the spark-plug of the team, but his record would not have been possible without the great team work of all his fellow-players. The tight defensive strength of the Senators was due to the sparkling work of Al Nelson, Don and Marvin Mitchell who held the opponents' scores in check. Eugene Shepherd gained many points under the pressure and his superior rebounding was al- ways a vital factor in the winning of games. Forwards Cliff Williams and Elwood Kegley also came through in the scoring field. First-line reserves . . . Cotton Davis, Paul Schwamberger, and Bill Singleton held up the reserve strength ofthe varsity in the final games of the season. They will probably lead the pack next year.
