WIRLS ' BASKET BALL TEAM

Page 76 text:

Boys ' Basketball This year the basketball team enjoyed one of the most successful years ever known in Arthur Hill, finishing second in the valley and losing only three games outside the valley — two to Battle Creek and one to Flint in the first game of the district tournament at Mt. Pleasant. Beginning the season with five letter men, the team seemed pointed to another valley cup, winning, during the first semester, all valley games. But the end of the first semester brought sorrow to the hearts of all-time Hillites for, with it, came the passing of Paul Hackett and Ray Scheib, our two dependables, from basketball, through the nine- semester rule. This necessitated an almost complete rebuilding of the team at a critical time and, playing against teams who had been together all year, it was hard to get started, and the deciding game of the valley was dropped to Bay City Eastern. When they did get going though, as in the Manistee game, the team showed lots of stuff and gave great promise of a winning combi- nation next year when Captain-elect Currot, French, and Failing, to- gether with several promising second string men, will be back. The Line-up. Charles Grube (Capt.), F. Paul Hackett, F. Ray French, C. William Dembinski, F. Raymond Scheib. C. Clifford Currot, F. Charles Fredericks, G. Kindreck Failing, F. Joe Friske, G.

Girls ' Basketball The girl ' s basketball team of 1922 was certainly the best that has ever been seen at Arthur Hill. Having a longer and heavier schedule than usual, the girls showed their spirit by winning eleven out of fifteen games. This was quite a feat. The season started January 6, and the last game was played March 16. Arthur Hill 45 Owosso 7 This game was a big surprise. The spectators did not think the girls had the team, but they proved that they did. Arthur Hill 20 Vassar 16 Playing on a rather poor and strange floor, with practically a green team, the girls were a little awed. They managed to keep ahead of Vassar in the scoring so it was all right. Arthur Hill 19 Saginaw 31 The same old story, but it was a hard fought game anyway. All of the girls did themselves justice, putting forth their best efforts. Arthur Hill 27 East Lansing 43 This was one of the roughest games of the season. The girls made a poor beginning in the first half, and then held East Lansing to a tie in the last half, but could not come above it. Arthur Hill 37 Tawas City 44 Over-confidence in the last half spells this defeat. Arthur Hill had a safe lead at the end of the first half, but were too sure of them- selves. Tawas City had a strong come-back and the girls woke up too late to p revent defeat. Arthur Hill 35 Vassar 15 The girls were back at their old speed and showed Vassar what a real game was like. Arthur Hill 40 Bay City Western 14 This was quite a remarkable score due to the strangeness of a canvas-covered floor played on for the first time. Arthur Hill 34 Owosso 16 Another out-of-town game won by the girls taking advantage of all opportunities. Arthur Hill 16 Saginaw 28 Another game lost to Saginaw, but on their own floor. The score was lower than the first game, and the girls played better. The Sagi- naw girls were out-played in the second quarter, but they came back strong.
