Junior High Winner
In Third Game
of Season
The “Red and Blue” quintet
representing the Junior high school
of Cottage Grove gained its third
victory of tho season when it
defeated Oakland's junior high at
Oakland on January 17 by a score
of 25 to 5. The Oakland boys
played a snappy game but were
powerless against tho Goff-Ward-
Wilson defense combination of the
Cottage Grove team.
Brockman and Adams, tho re
doubtable vanguard of the offensive
of tho local team got off on a poor
start in the first quarter. They
warmed up, however, and with the
help of Ward, who shot three field
goals from the position of guard,
piled up a score of 25 to 5 before
stopped by the final whistle.
Principle and Mrs. Hickenbottom,
of the Oakland school, with some
of tho girl students, served re
freshments to both teams after the
game.
The "Rod and Blue” will meet
what promises to be its strongest
opposition when tho Eugene junior
high school, also undefeated, en
gages it next Saturday at 7 p. m.
in tho Cottage Grove school gym
