Review of Basket Ball Season 1t Is
One of the Best for WauseOn
By Bayes '23

The basket ball team from w. H.
S. ended up their season in a blaze of
triumph, by cleaning up the Alumni.
This made 16 wins against lost.
There has been only one other season
to rival this one, and then there were
9 games won and l lost.
At the start of the season, Coach
Bohn had very little seasoned mater
ial to work on and so had to find
bunch of new players.
When the team lined up for the
first game against Morenci, they were
full of pep and eager to go. They
kept TINS spirit up throughout the
whole year. The first game was a
walkaway for w. H. S. the score be-
ing 42-15. The team played good ball
and never stopped after the first
whistle was blown.
The next game a; Ney was not
such a scoring game. The hall was
small and the team was handicapped.
They merged winners, though, by q
score of 1925.
The next game at Wauseon, the
team played the worst ball of the
year and were beaten by Ney 1922.
The Woodward Tech game which
followed was a revelation, for those
who expected to see Wauseon litreally
buried, saw the fall by score of &C.
II. The team sure had Tech scared.
The next game, in which Wauseon
beat Pioneer Pip, was a speedy one.
The fellows were all in fighting trim
and they played good hard basket ball.
On Jan. 13, the team handed Ma
poleon the worse defeat they have
ever suffered at the hands of a Wau-
seon team. Wauseon won by a score
of 1919. The scoring machines were
in prefect order, the result of this be-
ing shown by the final score. Liberty
Center was the next victim and al
though the team played about the
poorest they did during the season.
they emerged victors by score of 30
"a. This was chiefly through R
Geer's foul shooting, as he put in 10
out of 13 trials.
Napoleon came to Wauseon with
the intention of beating W. H. S
They came close to doing it but fell
short by a score of 20-21. 1t was
some fast game and it was never
over until the last whistle blew.
The next game Wauseon was de-
feated by Archbold 29-19. Archbold
came up from behind in the last few
minutes and won. Whipple was the
major factor in the win.
Wauseon had very little trouble in
beating Ottawa on Ottawa's floor by
a score of 32-13.
At Pioneer, Wauseon was AGAR
victorious after hard fight Ills
The game was a tie in the last few
minutes and Cliff Belding was the one
who broke it.
Wauseon again met her watreloo al
Archbold 27-19. Whipple was thu
star.
Montpelier was che next victim b!
32-13 score. The game was fas
and clean and w. H. S. was never il
danger.
At St. Johns the first victory of an!
Wauseon team over a Toledo team
was realized by a score of 2119.

seon, 32-17.
! The team then went to Defiance t.

other team got all of the breaks
