Tsyp close and fast gaums were played yfitk thft Stayton high teams M b Wednesday when our girls, and the boys pf ppr sepcind tearp, me^ at Stayton. Both of our teams bowed in defeat only after leading Until tbft final minute of each gaqie. At half time opr girls led 15 to 13 and seepied to have the game well in bftpd when put game one of our guards because of too many fouls. This change did not take any of the will-to-win from our girls, but it seemed to add just the necessary zest and punch to the opponents’ playing that enabled them to forge into the lead just before the game qnded. The final spore Wa? 26 to 23. Our hotshots played like big leagpers to, roll up a 13 to 3 lead on their opponents in the first haif. They started like lightning and kept it up even though a whole new team took the floor in the second quarter. They checked close and fast and found the basket like a bunch of veterans while they held their hurry ing and scurrying opponents to a lone field goaf and a foul throw. The final quarter was diffèrent. Our guards were repeatedly caught out of position and seemed anchored to the floor while the opposing play ers breezed past to the basket for counters. Our lead was gradually cut down and the Stayton five put- the finishing touches to the job just before the whistle stopped the game and won 27 to 26. On Friday evening the Molalla fiigh team arrived unannounced to play a scheduled return game. After some hustling around the game was put under way and those who missed that little fracas missed some thing snappy. Earlier in the seasqn Molalla passed and bunched the ball around our sextet to something like a 13 to 4 score, which opr girls have been hoping ‘¡to win back. Right off the reel our hoopers scored a ^basket that came after some neat and well-timed Ipasses. The work of opr jumping and sjde center with our forwards accounted for another. Then everybody began to hurry up, And hurry up it was. Both teams checked close arid fast and. very few if any clear shots at the basket were allowed. The half ended 6 to 5 in our favor. Molalla tied the score almost Edna Dean, side center; Susie Grounds, and Margaret Hoptowit, guards. * Tomorrow these two teams will furnish the enter tainment for our spectators when the girls play - Inde pendence high and tfie Hotshots will give the boys fromW opdburp g cliapce to make UR fpr ft PRC'-dded game they lost just a while back- . Ordinarily our basketball season is over at this time and games, players and deeds done on the maple court forgotten, but not so now. Instead our hoppers and close followers of the sport are just about as basketball ‘ ‘fiof ’ \ as j S v have been at aqy time tbis season. The reason for this is, of course, the district tournament held at Wifiamette University on Thursday and Friday to decide who will represent this district at the state tour nament. Eight teams will participate. Comparing the records of each fpr the season we find Chemqwft standing second to only the leaders—Salem high, ^qlem defeated us tvyice. Eftst Tuesday w e lo s t tP fhem 26 to 16. Had we even ordipary Ipck the score would have been different. Eldred George, who has been playing consistent basketball almost throughout the season, couldn’t persuade theball to stay in the net. A number of times the ball seemed half-way through, pnly to qarpm back out. Out of a fialf dpzen foul shots not one was converted against an average of seven out of- ten tries during the season, most unusual. However, that does not matter now. In the tourna ment all will st a r te ven, We will be ready- Qur floor work is said tp be superior tp that df ftpy high schopi feam seen ip a?Vpp this season- But put ina bility to find the basket has been the reason fpr losing several close games. A new exercise instituted in practice has hopped-up the boys and they are preparing fpr the tournament games -with renewed determinatipn. In this connection we have five boys whom we are confident can and will work together—a situation we are enjoying for the firsfrtime this season. Hereto fore there always seemed a weak spot somewhere. Not exactly a weak spot either, for inexperience is always responsible for inconsistent playing. If we can get oyer the first hurdles and meet the leaders it wifi give us the one big opportunity to show that our five can shoot just as well as they can play the floor. For quite some time we have been anxiously waiting for word concerning ft he health of Jake Atkins, who has been seriously ill at Haskell, and np,w we are glad to know that Jake, who is known tP ftU here, is well pn the,road to recovery. In fact, getting along so well that he can sit UP and write letters as well as take nourishment. ESCORTS Saturday, Mar. 9—To Salem - - Sunday, Mar. 10—McBride - - Winona - - Hawley 3 ■? .
