Windsor High Athletic Banquet
One of the greatest events of the
school year for the Windsor high
basketball athletes, occurred Friday
evening, March 8, when 16 members
Of the Indian crew gathered at the
high school gymnasium for fare
well party for basketball for the
year 1928. They found an elab-
crate menu-fried chicken, mashed
potatoes, dressing, gravy, pickles,
sauce, noodles, baked beans, bread,
butter, jelly, pie, cake, ice cream
and coffee After dinner, Freddie
Wilcox, the all-county forward, was
elected captain to lead the Indians
in their struggle for honors in 1884.
Remarks were made by retiring cap
tain, Lovette Henery, and the ver-
satile "Scout Blackmer,' and other
members of the team. Coach David
son gave review of the 1888 bas-
ketball season The team has
scheduled any and all high schools
who would play them and has come
through with only three losses to
high school teams. This team, he
said, which is now being badly brok-
en- up through the loss of players
who are graduating, has played to-
gether for the last three years. They
have lost four games to other
schools, during the playing season,
in that three-year period, while they
were winning fifty-three contests.
Pennsville seems to have their num-
ber in tournaments, however, for
they have fallen before the attack
of the Pennsville team for three
consecutive years. During the play
ing season, Of the last three years,
Stockport has met many good teams
of the surrounding vicinity and
holds victories over Dresden, Rose
vile, Philo, South GAINESVILLE, Bev-
erly, Waterford, Lowell, Bartlett,
Amesville, The Plains, Chauncey,
Glouster, Hollister, Marietta Re-
serves, Chesterhill, Pennsville and
McConnelsville. The four defeats
were administered by New Concord,
Newport, Pennsville, and Chester
hill. Mr.. Davidson spoke compli-
mentarily of the efforts of his boys
in the county tournament of this
year. Dozens of criticisms and sug-
gestions were offered by the swivel
chair enthusiasts as to what should
! have been done in that As second
period, but Davidson simply said to
his boys 'We did our best, and lost.
Let's take our lickin' like men,
He had nothing but praise for the
work Of the elusive Howard Hooper
He condoned, however, the sneers OF
tn M. e NJ high school boys, the
write up of the Pennsville athletic
correspondent, and the story told by
Eric Dougan. Not one compliment
tary remark was made in any OF
those write ups for the efforts OF
the Stockport team. In fact they
were "razzedn for being ahead and
