Thursday evening, Feb. "a, Stock
port Ell. S. basketball teams iour
neyed down the Muskingum to meet
LowelPs teams in the return game
of the season. The Stockport bows
had been looking forward to this
engagement with Lowell since Jan.
2Sth, when the Lowell boys, in a
close contest with them at Stock
port. had shown themselves entire
ly worthy of their metal; SO when
Referee MulleniYs whistle blew for
the start they were up on their toes
and ready to go. The first quarter
Van Fossen, Shoop and Wallace
bored the hoop with a fielder each.
Stockport's defense worked to per-
fection this quarter, and Lowell was
unable to score. Second quarter
Shoop was fouled and made one of
the shots good; Henry dropped one
in from way back, and Wallace came
across with a fielder from difficult
CT Cl
continued strong, but Schletzer

In the third quarter Van Fossen,
Shoop and Henery again bored the
hoop with a fielder each. Kinney

made two field goals for Lowell.

the last quarter Van Fossen and
Shoop each came out with field
goal Stockport's defense weaken

nice clean fielder across once again.
The whistle blew shortly, and the
game ended with a score of 81 to
IL in favor of Stockport This game
closes the season for Stockport's
boys; it was their 14th victory and
17th game. Stockport's boys are
certainly to be congratulated ON the
showing their team has made this
year. The outlook at the opening
of the season was the worst that
Stockport has ever had. Only one
regular from last years team came
back, the other four having gradu-
ated with last years senior class.
The team this year is made up of
one regular from last year, one last
year sub, three last year seconds,
and one who had not played at all.
The boys owe their success to their
earnest effort, to their willingness to
and to train The follow
