Photograph of a page from The Senior Blotter, the 1914 yearbook of New Albany High School. Page includes a photograph of 8 basketball team players, and their coach, Edwin Powell Hubble. The text below the photograph documents the basketball team's season. The text is as follows: Basketball. High School was very fortunate, this year, in securing Mr. Hubble, a former basketball star of the University of Chicago, to coach the team. Mr. Hubble, with the material afforded, was able to build up a team that defeated every tem of any consequence in this section of Indiana, and in Kentucky. The team this year was, without a doubt, the best that New Albany has ever had. Before going to Bloomington it had a perfect record, having defeated the teams from Salem, New Albany Y.M.C.A., Lexington and Henderson (Ky.), and many other teams of note. In the tournament at Bloomington they started off in fine manner, winning the first two games on the schedule, but the third was lost to the team from Clinton High School. This defeat eliminated them from the race and they were forced to come home without the coveted championship. They made a fine showing, however, and the students are as proud of them as if they had won the State Championship. At the close of the tournament, Fawcett and Joseph were picked on the All-State Second Team, while Daniel was picked among the six best centers. The students of the school showed their school spirit by collecting a purse of about forty dollars to pay the team's expenses to Bloomington and by giving them a reception when they returned.
