West Linn Beaten
By Mac Five
January 12 the West Linn
Lions traveled to McMinnville.
Allison, of McMinnville, proved
just too much for the West Linn
Lions, When he scored 2T points
for his team. If he could have
made three more points he could
have tied West Linn by himself
in scoring. The final store was
37 to 24, with the Lions coming
out on the low end of the score.
The Cubs also lost their game.
Roy Pearson, Cub forward
thought that he’d do the McMinn
ville team a favor, so he made
two points for them by making a
goal through the. wrong basket,
but not long afterwards Trent of
McMinnville did the same thing
for the Cubs. The game ended
11 to 7, a victory for McMinn
ville.

means a cinch for any team as they are all right up in the going.
There has been quite a few upsets this season of which two of
West Linn’s games should be classified. After holding a halftime

Margin Over Vikes
The West Linn juniors won
again. This time thçy beat the
Forest Grove Vikings. At first
Forest Grove enjoyed a 8 to 1
leàd, but by the end of the first
quarter, West Linn closed the
margin to 8 to 7. In the second
quarter a foul on Forest Grove
tied 'the score 8 to 8.
In the second half the boys on
the hill began to roll and started
dominating the ftoor. West Linn
continued, and won the game by
the score of 36 to 23.
The varsity teàms had a lovr
scoring,game, due to a tight de
fense played by both teams, and
also they played man-to-man.
The first quarter ended 7 to 5 in
Forest Grove’s favor. Forest
Grove, got most of their points on
long and lucky shots. The first
half ended 15 to 11, with West
Linn out in front this time, with
either team dominating the floor.
In the third quarter Forest Grove
closed the gap to just one point,
21 to 20, still in favor of West
Linh. That margin was held for
about six minutes, then Forest
Grove made a basket putting
them out ahead 22 to 21. Twenty
seconds from the end of the
game Forest Grove made a foul.
Of the two shots West Linn made
one, tieing the game. That is the
way the game stood when the
whistle blew. In the overtime

With the loss of the Tillamook
game the Lions stepped into a
familiar place ip the league.
They are not alone though ip
the cellar and are determined to
avenge this defeat tomorrow
night on the Cheesemakers own
floor.
The height of the center and
the cagey playing under the
basket of a guard put the Lions
under the eight ball. In the
first quarter the Cheesemakers
gained a small margin of 6 to 7
when the first rest period came.
By the time the half way mark
had come the Lions had fallen
behind 11 to 15. During the first
half Matile, usual high scorer,
was able to connect with only
one free throw, but Stauffer had
put in five" points.
Right after the half time they
increased their - lead to seven
points but the Lions put on a
burst of hotshots to tie the score
at 18-air during this period. But
the Cheesemakers wouldn’t stand
for this and put in twp quick
field goals to leave the score
22-18 in their favor. The Lions
again pulled up during the last
period, but were unable to stop
the fast scoring Cheesem’akers
and Were unable to get back in
the game even though they
tried breaking in with a manto
rnan defensei
The Cheesemakers took scor
ing honors with Watt,. the tall
center, tipping 14 points, and

caught 'his eye during tbe last
half and managed to put in nine
points to put his total up to 10.

Lions Drop Close
Game to Beavers
After holding a half-time lead
of 11-6 the Lions faltered to let
the Beaverton Beavers win the
game 19 to 17. Matile,\ Lion
center and top scorer for the
game, made all his points in the
first half. hTe contest a was low
scoring, slow moving game in
the way of excitement until the
last few minutes,
The second half started with
the score 11 to 6 but the Bea
vers commenced to catch up
with the Lions to tie the score
at 14 all in the last quarter. The
next few minutes the Beavers
put in two field goals holding
the Lions to one small free
throw point. There was then 15
seconds with the ball in the
Beaver position. The Lions
switched from their regular zone
defense to a man to man de
fense. They got the ball away
from the Beavers and Mindt put
in a swisher to leave the Lions
one point behind. The Beavers
then got the ball and their was
a foul called with about a half
second to go. O’Connor, a Beaver
forward, took his shot and the
horn blew while the ball was
still bouncing on the rim but it
went in to give the game -4o
Beaverton by a score of 19 to
17.
