Stirling. Who Played Centre,
Starred. Scoring 141 Points
During the Season.

The local Frfenns Schooi ieselAy
finished a fairly successful basketbaH
season. The team broke even on It's
games. winning nine Of them and losing
the same nfirnber. Of last years team,
which was composed Of championship
material. only one man returned to the
school and he was not regular on the
team. As this years team was made up
practically OF the former second team,
an unlimited amount Of credit is due 10
Coach Ellis for bringing the men up 10
the standard which the team managed
10 attain.
The school played some Of the best
and strongest teams in this vicinity.
and only by hard work and faithful
practice were they able To carry of
some Of the games which they won The
season started off rather discouragfng~
ly. as the FIRST three games were lost IN
succession The team made q grand
total of s95 points and their opponents
made At.
BY graduation this June. the team viii
lose only two men. Stirling and Captain
Chambers. with the remainder Of
this years team and a wealth Of second
team material to use, the student body
is entertaining high hopes Of having a
auccesgful team next 8eason.
Stirling. who played at the pivotal
position all through the season. was the
| star of the team. He scored 81 goals
| from the field and these pointers, to
gether with seven foul goals. made him
| a grand total Of 14i points However,
Finn, the star forward. was not far be-
| hind him, with total of 122 points
Although he only made 30 field goals
he strengthened his score by dropping
! In So from the penalty mark. Captain
| Chambers is next in line with 30 field
goals 10 his credit Pyle who only
played in one Rauze IL next. with a total
/ Of 81 points. Coy and Haitsch, the stel-
lar guards of the varsity. made 20 and
/ 2 points respectively. Moore, Young and
| Hill, the sub forwards. made .. and 4
points. respectively The other men who
played In varsity games are Broad,
| Long. and Wooiey. who contributed
nothing In the acoring line
Coy. the crack guard Of this years
| team. has been elected n captain next
| years team. He and Haitsch Will
probably occupy tho guard positions
Judging by his good work this year
Pyle win probably occupy regularly one
Of the forward positions. The other
will be taken care Of by either Young or
Moore. as both are very apt players and
IL would be difficult 70 say which one il
1
the better player.
Finn is the most likely selection for
next years center. owing 70 his height
and ability 10 jump and also 10 shoO
baskets. Fill VIII be a likely sub for
ward. and Broad. Long and Wooley foi
the sub guards. OF course these selec
tions are made only from the shown,
which these men made this year
The school supported a second team
this season. which had fairly success
, ful season. They won 1--WE and los
three games.
