The barnstorming Harlem
Clowns and the Ashland coach
es tangled on the Junior High
court, Tuiisday, December 4,
with the clowns emerging a
40-36 victor.
The Ashland coaches, led by
manager Charley Jandreau,
made it an exciting game as
they were on the heels of the
Clowns at all times.
The score at the end of the
third quarter was tied at 32-32,
but the Haxlemites quickly ran
up the final score.
Exhibiting skill in passing.
dribbling, and shooting, the
Clowns tried all kinds of out
landish tactics. Included were
bouncing the baU off the floor
into the hoop; shooting lay-ins
between their legs: and rolling
the ball through the whole Ash
land team for a shot at the bas
ket. Not content with playing on
the floor, the Clowns stationed
one of their players in the bal
cony for a better shot. Then tir
ing of basketball, they ran for a
touchdown from midcourt out
of a T formation.
Proceeds from the game go
for spring sports which include
baseball, track and tennis. Total
profit from the game was $125.

Noon Activities
Draw Attention
Intramural basketball has
again started with this year's
teams all very strong. Tc pick
a champion would be very hard
indeed. Although the names of
these noon day teams may be a
bit on the lighter side, the teams
play in all seriousness.
The games are played at noon,
lasting for approximately 25
minutes. A quick rundown of
the teams sees the soph boys,
consisting of eight veteran ball

VOLLEYBALL, BOWLING
ENJOYED BY GAA
Ashland G.A.A. meets every
Thursday night after school in
the gym. For the first six weeks
the girls played volleyball. Then
a new sport was chosen for
each six weeks.
The girls are now bowling on
Tuesdays and Thursdays at the
Recreation Center, under the
instruction of Miss Dyer. Later
on when they start on another
sport, the girls who still wish
to bowl will be able to on Tues
days. Plans for initiation have not
been completed yet, but it will
probably take place sometime
in January.

City Warriors eked out a 55-52
win over the Grizzlies Satur
day night, December 15.
Templeton was the whole
show, sinking shot after shot as
the Warriors grabbed a first
quarter lead and held it until
the third quarter where they
lost it momentarily only to re
gain it for good.
The Grizzlies, who were hot
and cold, were led toy Bill Hol-
lingsworth and Med Taylor with
15 and 12 points respectively.
The Bear fast break was unable
to work under lull steam as the
California gym was a cracker
box and much too small for an
effective fast break.
The starting line-up for the
Bears was Gandee and Deets,
guards; Taylor and T. Tenney,
forwards: and HoUingsworth,
center.

tireless players; the "Country
Hicks," a group of fast boys that
promise to be tough; the Cast-
off Kids," a junior group that
looks like the team to beat. And
of course there's Mr. Parks'
homeroom team of seniors that
may prove to be champs.
Of course there are other
noontime activities, such as the
tug-of-war between classes. The
juniors defeated the sophomores 4
and then after a little trouble, it
was decided to call it a tie.
There was also the rope '.

Martin Kasser competing. Dail

list of contestants entering and
