Both boys and girls saw plenty of action. ‘Six games were played. Our teams amassed 161 ‘points against 135 for our opponents. Qn Monday our reserves played a classy brand of ball against the boys of the State School and won by the big margin of 46 to 23. Every man that made the trip was given an opportunity to do something toward victory and .made the best of it. From the first tip-off Wilder, ¡¿center; Dowd Franklin and Levi Frank, forwards; Clifford Meachem and Sam Simmons, guards, pro ceeded to put the game on ice, then gave way for an entire change in the line-up. On Tuesday McMinjivill,e grabbed an early lead and 'the game ended 2$ to 18'against’us before our team could catch up. In the last quarter our five woke up and tied the score, but the visitors’ long shots in the Closing minutes won the game. ; Wednesday our girls were defeated by the Canby sextet at Canby 26 to 16. At half time the score stood 8 to 8. In the last quarter Canby sent in a string of fresh players that completely sank our scut tled ship. Thursday a real thriller was played here. The Grand Ronde team put up only fair opposition in the first jhalf which ended 15 to 3 in our favor. The second “half developed into a real battle. Grand Ronde soon overcame our lead. The only thing that saved us was the timely baskets made by Leonard Vivette and the Stellar playing of Eldred George and Captain Peratro- vich. All were real ball hawks and played as pretty a game as they have turned in this season. Against McMinnville our entire team seemed to have an off night. Not one performed and many changes were made. Repeatedly the ball was thrown directly into the hands of an opponent. In more than one instance those plays were really no better than throw ing the ball into their basket. They amounted to j’fist as much. In this game Marcus Simmons, a relief forward, was our hero. Marcus scored ten points for high point honors. i Friday our girls played Independence at Indepen dence and won handily, 26 to 8. The score tells us that the opponents were on the defense most of the time and that is what our sextet set out to do—to play offensive basketball. They broke and passed fast, and our forwards, June Wright and Clai ice Parr, lost their guards, worked their way into the open for clear shots and made them. Arlihe Hoptowit and Bernice Shel ton, jumping centers; Edna Dean, side center; Mar garet Hoptowit and Susie Grounds, guards, were equal ly as effective in their positions. All played a fast, heady game. Saturday our first team played a return game at Grand Ronde. The half ended 18 to 10 in our favor. Our boys appeared on the way to a greater victory over the speedy coast five than they administered earlier in the week. But a sudden change came with the start of the second half. The “ Ronders” began to sink those long distance shots and soon cut down our lead and just before the game came to a close dropped in a tieing and winning basket, making the score 28 to 26. The Inter-Class cross country run on Washington’s Birthday was a big success. Every class from the fifth grade on up was represented. A large gallery of spectators turned out to witness the contest and get the thrill of an unexpectedly close race. . The juniors and sophomores; tied for first place with eleven points each; seniors, ten; eighth grade, nine; fifth grade, seven; seventh grade, six; freshies, one. Frank “ Lindy” Dumont sprang the surprise of the day by coming within a hair of winning over John Frenier, the pride of the tailor shop, who was conceded a walk away. Throughout the course “ Lindy” was right at the heels of his “ rangey” opponent. As they ramp upon the 200-yard straight away “ Lindy’ ’ started his sprint and a thrilling race was on. At the half- way mark John was passed and it looked, for the moment, that our peer of cross-country runners was beaten, but not for long. John opened up with a great effort and those long strides carried him past the tape in time to be the winner of another race. Charles Wishart followed closly behind the leaders and Joe Middle Rider claimed fourth place.
