MEN REPORT
FOR TRAINING
Coaches Riley and Perryman
Have Charge of Track;
Holley Football
Track and spring football train-
ing was started by the high school
boys on Memorial Field Tuesday
afternoon, February 27. Coaches
H,. A. Perryman and Frank Riley
are in charge of the boys’ track
while Coach W. C. Holley will
coach the boys in the football
training.
Eighteen men reported out for
the first light work in track Tues-
day afternoon. Limbering up ex-
ercises and starts occupied most
of the time the first day. With
the close of the ^aMretball season
several other men joined in the
track work.
Coach Holley reported twenty-
four men out for the first spring
football training workout. The
majority of these men were be-
ginners and were being taught
how to kick and pass the ball. Only
light workouts are to be given dur-
ing the first weeks, said Holley.
The loaches say that much in-
terest is being shown by the boys
and a willingness to work that en-
ables them to accomplish more.
Practice in both track and foot-
ball will be held every afternoon
after school.

Girls’ basketball teams have been
having their usual practice every
afternoon and according to Miss
Eubylea Clement, coach, much in-
terest has been shown. In the
workouts each day, the girls learn
passing, shooting and other bas-
ketball technique.
The girls were defeated by
Breckenridge high school by a
score of 54 to 10. But the girls
have not given up, especially since
Breckenridge has won state honors.
So our girls did well to score, Miss
Clement said.
The girls went to Strawn Tues-
day night, February 27, for a
game. The Strawn girls won by
30 to 13. The Strawn girls are to
play a return game and our team
expects to win.
The girls intend to play quite a
few more games, states Miss
Clement, and expect to win them.
