YEAR ONLY FAIR
IN SPORT REALM
At HIGH SCHOOL
No Team Was Able to Pass
Through the Season Without
Meeting 0efeat-GOOd Rec
ORD Set by Track Team.

Nineteen-fOurteen has been a year
marked by triumphant successes and
sudden reversais for the athletic teams
OF the high school. In some branches
Of sport the teams have been fairly
successful while in others the teams
have failed TO uphold the high mark
made by the former high teams. No
team in any branch Of athletics has
been able to complete their season
without tasting the bitter pill of de-
feat as other teams in former years
have had the honor OF doing.
Probably the track team did the
most work during the year toward
bringing honCrs TO the school. After
meeting defeats at the hands of Culver
Military academy. and being taken
into camp twice, once in an indoor
meet and once in outdoor meet by the
NotIe Dame Props. and winning a tri-
angular meet from Goshen and Elk
mart. the local thinly clads went into
the Northern Indiana track meet and
carried off every prize but one. The
one award which the locals failed to
bring home was the gold medal award
ed to the individual scoring the most
number of points in the meet. and
which was captured by Water of Whit
ing.
Take other HonOrs.
Second and third place awards for
individuals were captured by Leisure
and Martin of south Bend while the
team won the meet and also annexed
the relay race after one OF the most
spectacular races seen in a Northern
Indiana meet for years. BY winning
these honors in the last event of the
season. all past defeats were wiped
out and the season was voted a sue
cess by the student body.
No grand climax TO a winning sea-
son was enjoyed by the football squad.
which got an exactly opposite dose of
medicine from the track team. After
taking Warsaw, Gary. st. Joe, Elk
hart Goshen. Hammond and Do
wagiac into camp in handy fashion,
and thereby winning northern Indiana
and southern Michigan honOrs, the
football team was forced to bow in de-
feat before the strong Findlay, o.,
team.
Comparison Of scores Of last years
eleven and the one of this season will
show that the representative of the
school was not so strong this year.
Last year the football team scored
sos points TO their opponents seven.
This year the locals made 1877 count
ers while the opposition rolled up AZ.
up against stronger and better teams
than did the eleven of the year before,
which in a measure accounts for the
lack of scoring by them.
Are Defeated Twice.
Basket ball was marked by two
crushing defeats for the locals, while
on several occasions they narrowly
escaped q trimming. Charlottesville
won the first game the locals have lost
on their own floor in three years;
while Lafayette took the team into
camp at Lafayette. kOkOmO, with one
of the strongest teams in the school
history was sent away defeated by
a score of 80 to SO, while Findlay, O.,
the bu"-bear of the football squad,
was nosed out in a 81 to 80 game.
Gary also put up a hard game when
the locals played in the steel city.
Capt. Allen carved a name in the
high school hall of fame when in the
game against Knox he ran up a total
of % baskets. for a new state record
He held the former record with > =
goals.
Two defeats and three victories fell
to the lot of the baseball squad. while
alright pitching by Joe Scott against
Elkhart saved the locals from having
the final standings reversed. HOLY
Cross seminary ana Elkhart were the
two lucky teams TO claim victories
over the tan and blue. Holy Cross
won five To three. while Elkhart cap
tured a five 10 two game. Earlier in
the season Elkhart took an eight &c
