Lake Shore
Wins First
Come 3O-27

ST. CLAIR SHORES-A vast
~ improved basketball team
after almost a five man shake
up in the line up won their first
basketball game of the season
by the score of 80 TO q. The
Lake Shore team showed team
work for the first time this sea-
son, also a fighting spirit and
did not crack under pressure.
Lake Shore used two new
guards George Startling and Will
liam Bachman. Although they
took the ball off the backboards
and their passing was the best
so far this season, they need
lot of work TO speed up the Of
fensive. Walter Rogers played
center the first time in his baS-
ketball career, did a fine job and
with more work will improve.
Jack Perkins and Robert Cou-
lon were the forwards and their
team work was the best so far
this season. All in all the team
looked like real Lake Shore
basketball team.
The Lake Shore team will not
play again until Jan. 5 and then
will meet the Busch High school
team of Center Line at Center
