Bay City Western — 21 Arthur Hill — 26 By winning this game by a 21-26 score, Bay City Western ' s hopes for valley championship were shattered. Arthur Hill showed the best form of the season, and after gaining the lead in the first 15 minutes of play managed to keep it throughout the remainder of the game. Hackett ' s dribbling and long basket shooting was the feature of the game while Scheib and Gile again showed wonderful work as guards. This game just about put the valley championship on ice for Arthur Hill, for all but one of their remaining valley games was on their own floor which, we might say, gave them a little advantage over opposing teams. Owosso — 13 Arthur Hill — 32 Arthur Hill again defeated Owosso in a very one-sided game. Owosso at no time threatened to win the game, and our team scored at will. Hackett and Scheib were bright stars in this game. Scheib ' s guarding could not have been better while Hackett ' s passing, dribbling, and shooting was the sensation of the evening. Bad Axe— 13 Arthur Hill— 20 Arthur Hill avenged the defeat administered by Bad Axe in the early part of the season by defeating them at Pioneer Hall 20-13. Bad Axe led the scoring during the first part of the game, but was soon left behind and the half ended with the score 10-7 in our favor. At the beginning of the second half Bad Axe again received a jumping start and were soon leading 10-13. At this point, Gile and Scheib braced and no more baskets were made by the Bad Axe five. During this time, Currott, Hackett, and Davis, constituting our scoring machine, made enough baskets to win the game 20-13. Mt. Pleasant Indian Teck. — 15 Arthur Hill — 18 The Mt. Pleasant Indians came here with the expectation of de- feating our gang, but their bubble burst and left them to carry home the spoils of the conquered. It seemed that by this time our team had established a habit for winning and the game ended in the same man- ner as the preceding games, our team leading at the close of the game. Bay City Eastern — 9 Arthur Hill — 18 Arthur Hill again succeeded in dragging the colors of Bay City Eastern in the dirt by defeating them in a hard fought, but clean cut and fast game. Hackett and Davis came through with the majority of the baskets while the old reliables, Scheib and Gile were on the job as usual, playing a sure and steady defensive game which kept Eastern from securing the lead. This was Arthur Hill ' s fifth consecutive valley victory. Manistee — 30 Arthur Hill — 12 The team weakened by the absence of Hackett and Gile, was badly defeated by Manistee, the final score being 30-12. Manistee showed some very classy basketball and we will have to admit that they played rings around our bunch who at no time, during the game, threatened to win. Manistee secured the lead in the first half by a score of 18-7, and succeeded in piling up the remainder during the last half. The efforts of our team to stop this onrush were futile. Port Huron — 19 Arthur Hill — 18 Our team was on the tail end of the score at the end of the game with Port Huron. The game was closely and hotly contested through- out. Port Huron had a wonderful offensive which our boys found trouble in stopping until the second half of the game. Although we

Basketball Arthur Hill — 28 Owosso — 18 Arthur Hill began its valley schedule by trimming Owosso 28-18. Up until this time our team had played excellent basketball, and a vic- tory was looked for, although Owosso had boasted of an equally good team. Owosso failed to make good her boast, showing very little basketball form throughout the evening. Our team played together like a well regulated machine, and, at this stage, showed signs of bidding for valley honors. Grube led our attack with five baskets while Scheib and Friske spoiled a large percentage of Owosso ' s trys at the basket. Mt. Pleasant — 13 Arthur Hill — 14 Arthur Hill won a closely contested game from Mt. Pleasant by a score of 14-13. The work of our team showed to better advantage than that of the visitors when it came to general playing ability, but they had to fight from start to finish to maintain the lead. Paul Hackett was missed very much in this game. Saginaw — 17 Arthur Hill — 18 Arthur Hill, by winning a one point victory from Saginaw High, took the lead in the valley race. The game was fiercely contested throughout, and was exceedingly exciting during the last few minutes of play. Saginaw looped the first basket of the game but Arthur Hill, aided by the pretty dribbling and fine basket shooting of Hackett and Friske, soon had the score 12-2 in our favor. Saginaw came back strong and brought their total to seven, where it remained until the close of the first half. At the beginning of the second half, Saginaw succeeded in securing a two-point lead, but baskets by Grube and Davis soon placed our team in the lead 16-14. Saginaw hooked a free throw while Grube, in way of retaliating, scored from the floor. This was followed by a field basket for Saginaw. During the last few minutes of play, both teams were held scoreless, and the game ended with our team leading 18-17. Bay City Eastern — 21 Arthur Hill — 23 In one of the most thrilling games ever played in Bay City, Arthur Hill won a victory from B. C. E. in the last few minutes of play when Joe Friske caged a basket from the center of the floor. Our gang got away to a fine start, and were leading 10-5 at the end of the first half. In the second half, Dystant, of Bay City, shot four baskets in rapid suc- cession which placed Eastern in the lead 13-10. From here, the lead see-sawed back and forth between the two teams until almost the close of the game, when the score was tied 21-21. At this time Friske made his sensational basket which gave our team a 23-21 point victory. Friske and Davis showed up to be real stars in this game while Dystant, of Bay City, never will be forgotten by our guards. Bad Axe — 14 Arthur Hill — 1 1 Arthur Hill received the first defeat of the season at the hands of Bad Axe. The game was one of the most bitterly fought of the season and the playing of both teams pleased the spectators very much, for it surely was real basketball. Arthur Hill was leading 5-4 at the end of the first half but towards the close of the game, Bad Axe overtook our boys and won 14-11.

were defeated, the score was so close, that it showed that both teams were very evenly matched. Neither team can say that their playing excelled that of the other. Saginaw — 15 Arthur Hill — 19 Saginaw received its second defeat from Arthur Hill at Pioneer Hall. This victory, over Saginaw, gave Arthur Hill the valley champ- ionship in basketball. Saginaw obtained the lead in the fir.st half which ended 10-6. At the beginning of the second half our team started out with a determined effort and overtook Saginaw ' s lead in a very few minutes and never again did they lose it. Our team completely out- played Saginaw in every department of the game. Saginaw seemed lost before our advances, and were stopped dead in their tracks by the excellent guarding of our men. Saginaw fought gamely throughout the game but were outclassed by the passing and guarding of our valley champions. Bay City Western — 2 Arthur Hill — Fight, fight, nigger and a white. Dynamite, out of sight. On account of poor officiating, the last valley game of the season ended in a fight amongst both players and spectators. The crowd marched right out onto the floor and Mr. Allen thought it best to take the team off the floor and forfeit to Bay City. Mt. Pleasant Tournament. Arthur Hill — 9 Alma — 13 No golden banner and cup of silver was brought back by our team from the Mt. Pleasant Tournament, but the tale of a jolly good time and a hard earned rest. Our gang travelled to Mt. Pleasant to take part in the district tournament. They were defeated by Alma High School in the first tournament game, this eliminating them from further par- ticipation. Line-Up Grube Forward Davis Forward Scheib Center Gile Guard Hackett Guard Friske Sub Currott Sub Roeser Sub Girls Basketball Team Is the team of 1921 on the map? Well, I guess! Just look at the above picture and notice the sturdiness of these lassies. Don ' t they look rather peppy ? We ha ' several trimmings, and one team walked away with us entirely. Although we were not always victorious, our trips were often made a real pleasure to us. At Owosso, each girl was taken to a private home and royally entertained. At Vassar, we found three games scheduled, with ours as the big one. After lots of eats, the surprise came: We had to play first. Well, we did our best, but lost 40-21. Talk about being stage struck! That ' s what happened to us the night we played Saginaw and as a result Saginaw won out. In the re- turn game we had recovered from this difficulty. We kept right up with them until the end of the third quarter. In the last quarter they got
