ATHLETIC NOTES
The past week was a busy one for our basketball
» players. 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.
