Boys' Basket Ball Team A review of the past basket ball season, in which the W. W. H. S. sec nd team was victorious in six of seven games played adds a re t , , g a deal of satisfaction to the successful athletic year. The success of the season W t' as :irough the harmony and cooperation which prevailed on the second team. The line-up was as follows: Arthur Dunn '24, forwardg Asa Rec- tcr '26, fcrwardg Glen Hillman, '26, centerg William Joyce, '25, guardg Harold Fisher, '27, guard. Whitey Hillman made a good center on acccunt of his height. He was good at stopping opponents' passes. Art Dunn, a clean and fast player. Champion goal shooter Ace Rector. Height isn't everything when it comes to l ' V. p aying basket ball. Ace could surely put th em in the basket. Bill Joyce. An exceptionally good guard. Held his end down and could run through them if necessary. HSS Y! 1' ' x Fisher. Sox has promises of being a good guard. Watch him next year. We have every reason to believe that the 1924-1925 team will surpass the recordf?J hung up by this year's squad.

Boys' Basket Ball Team The Basket Ball season of '24 began with only two letter men about which to build a team. Weeping Water was handicapped at the outset by the lack of experienced material from which to make a team. Many of the men trying out for positions were awkward and showed little skill in handling themselves upon the floor. Under the splendid coaching of Mr. Hunt, the simple rudiments of the game were mastered and a team was soon built up with new men who were able to check their opponents with the five man defense, and advance the ball for soaring advantages. The personnel of the regular team, Captain Lyal Fleming, guardg Lohnes, stationary guard, Towle, centerg Cole, forwardg Rector, for- ward. The first game, which was won by a score of 18 to 10, was played with Union on the. home floor. The following games occurred in quick succes- sion: Greenwood, Union, Plattsmouth, Louisville, Eagle, Elmwood, Ne- hawka, Springfield, Murdock. As the season progressed they played higher class basket ball. The team was registered in Class F. at the Nebraska state tournament and made a commendable showing, holding the opposing team to a low score. i..i0ii..
