To do this we had from last years team CaptainGeiger, Hall, Moser, and Neal, who were all experienced ball players. Also we had a newcoach,. Glen Johnson, and much promising new material.Because of a late football season, a number of the players started the season with onlyone weeks practice. Geiger, Moser, Hall, Neal and Turpin lined up against Orleans on Fridaynight, November 21, 1924. They made a good start by defeating Orleans 28-23, playing afighting game. They showed lack of practice as yet.Then the boys journeyed to Martinsville on Wednesday and got a terrible beating at thehands of the Artesian city boys.

In this game, Rader, a new one at thegame, showed some real basketball skill.Page One Hundred Three
