Description:	THE SECOND TEAMThe Bloomington High School second team deserves special praise thisyear because of their fine record. They won all their games but two, but themost important thing is they furnished the competition for the first team inpractice.This is the primary reason for having a second team and, of course,material is in training for next years squad. In these games they get the experience that later makes them valuable players for the first team.The second team was made up of comparatively small men and they tooka lot of punishment from the first team. No one knows the trials a secondstring man receives from the first team until one has tried it.When these boys appear in public they will account for themselves. Oneof their most noble deeds was, they won the county tournament and were presented a silver cup by the Bloomington Weekly Star. In winning this tourna-ment they defeated Helmsburg, Smithville and Stinesville.
