ATHLETIC NOTES

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.
