BASKETBALL On December 4, twenty-two boys reported for basketball practice under our new coach, Carl Cooper. After two weeks of hard practice on fundamentals and plays we played Virden at Virden. Although we lost, the boys played very well for the first game. The next week we beat Duncan in the first conference game, al- though several of the players were out of the lineup with flu. With the flu still lingering, we played Miami in our second con- ference tourney, our last game before Christmas. We met Globe just after New Years and were edged in a close game. We won the Morenci game even though we were trailing by only one point in the last minute. In our conference game, Safford beat us badly, but when we met them at Clifton we beat them 32-30 for their first defeat in fourteen starts. We added conference wins by beating Pima, Ft. Thomas, and Thatcher. Our conference standing for the season was fourth with five wins and three losses. In the tournament at Pima we were beaten twice: once by Thatcher, 46-42, in which Eddie Padilla accounted for 21 points; the other by Duncan 35-lR. We won eight games and lost nine during the whole season.

Despite the loss of seven letter makers from last year, only two games were lost and these were very close. The girls believe that the famous Trojanette Chip which the captains of both teams wore in all the games has more than proved its power as a token of good luck. This year was the first time the Trojanettes have defeated Morenci in both games and with both teams. The second team aiso left an undefeated record which we're proud of.
