And that they are to be reckoned with on the bas ketball floor. On Friday night they handed the Buffs their first loss in league play of the season with a convincing 70 54 trouncing. Up until that point the Buffs were sitting pretty well on top of the heap with a 4-0, league record. But like they say, "All good things mustcome to an end sooneror later." Up to that point the Buffs were doing exceptionally well in league play dispite the fact they gave up height advantage in every game so far this year. Probably the smallest team in the league or the whole state for the size school for that matter. However they had consistent play holding their own against some pretty . tall fellers, but they seemed to get their act together at the end of the : game. There were times when they went into the final quarter trailing their opponets as much as ten points but managed to come back to gel the win. In the Ontario game it looked pretty promising in the early stages of the game as at the end of the first quarter they were deadlocked at 1 1 points apiece. B ut from that point on . the lid sort of closed on the Buffs as they were unable to get much to fall through. There were times when they missed two or three shots under their own basket. Even their three pointers were off target and several were air shots. As the half time came the Buffs were on the short end of the stick trailing 31-25. At the beginning of the second half it appeared the Buffs might get something a-going but found out that everyone went a little cold shooting. It looked like the Tigers stepped up . on their shooting as not only one was hitting but almost everyone scoreL $ who were on the floor in .the third 'n - quarter. The Ontario Tigers applied a full court press that sort of troubled -the Buffs causing several turnovers giving them an easy two. Several times those easy two's turned into a three point play as the Buffs would , foul on the way up to the basket In the final quarter the Tigers seemed to have complete control of the game where they slowed their play down to where the Buffs had to . foul them in order to get the ball, or after they got an easy two, and the time just ran out on them. Ben Christensen was high for the Buffs with a total of 21 points to out score everyone in the game. K.C.

Madras White Buffaloes Down Baker The Madras White Buffalo girls went on the road and picked up a victory last Saturday night, as they defeated the Baker Bulldogs by the score of 52-48, in GOL action. The big charge was behind the scoring of Carrie Hawes, as she turned in an 1 8 point performance for the Buff gals. Stephenie Harris also played a big role as she dominated the backboards k during the later part of the game and she turned in 1 1 points also for the win. " The Buffs controlled the backboards to take the upper hand over the host Baker Bulldogs. They were unable to get their second shots under there own basket as the Buff gals were doing a superb job on re bounding. If a team can't score with their first shot and are not able to get that second shot, they can never win a game. To control the backboards in an asset for any team. This now brings the Buff girls record to a 4-3 standing in the GOL at the present time, and the overall record still remains a little down at 7 8. But that still can improve by the time the season is over. The Buff gals just have only two more road trips and they are to Riverside to meet the Pirates on Feb. 1 1 , and the other is to Mac Hi on Feb. 19, which will close out regular league play for the girls in the GOL. Next season they will be playing in the Tri-Valley league. Scoring for Baker was Osborn 18, Porter 9, Barr 9, Ellingson 5, White 4, Mark 2, Combs 1 , Dall, Merrimen, Hanes. For the Buffs, Hawes 18, Kirsch 12, Harris 11; Potampa 4, Chrestensen 4, Badten 3, Sundberg, McConnell.
