The Bulldog, 193 1 February 30. College High 34: Erie 13. By getting a fast start College High defeated Erie on the Erie floor with the score of 34 to 13. This is the first time College High has won from Erie in a conference game on Erie's floor. Wayne Powars and Duke Adams played a creditable game with Chuck Johnston leading in the scoring. The Bulldogs remained the only undefeated team in the conference. Again the man to man defense confused Erie's players so that they were unable to find the goal. . March 13. College High 18: Johnstown 10. After College High won the Platte Valley title, they were eligible to play in the district tournament. The Blue and White team drew a bye in the first round of play. ln the second they drew for their opponent Johnstown. This was a fast game but the Bulldogs were never in the small end of the game. The final score was 18 to 10. . March 13. College High 18: Longmont 27. By defeating Johnstown, College High played Longmont for the cham- pionship. College High did not keep up the good work, and fell before the opposing team, which outplayed them and outfought them. The game was slow from start to finish, and only in flashes did the Bulldogs show their old style of playing. March 14. College High 20: Fort Collins 22. After losing to Longmont, College High played Fort Collins for run- ner-up. In this game the Bulldogs came back to their old style of playing and gave Collins a game they will long remember. College High, in the third quarter was nine points ahead of their oppon- ents, but with the old fight that Collins is noted for, they came back and downed College High 22 to 20. This game closed the basketball season for the College High Bulldogs. 571147039

-?- The Bulldog, 1931 January 30. College High 32: Platteville ll. The College High team journeyed to Platteville on January 30 and de- feated the Bears by a score of 32 to ll. This was another game which proved that College High could handle the ball and use their man to man defense. Johnston and Walker played a smooth and effective game against the Bears. February ll. College High 33: Greeley High 30. In what proved to be the final game of the season, College High walked off with a three point lead. College High would be a point ahead, and then Greeley High would be a point or so ahead. Dobby used his man to man defense, and Johnston used his five man defense. This proved to be a test for the defenses. The boys from College High had a little more fight and won the game with a score of 33 to 30. The winning of this game gave College High the City Basketball Cham- pionship for the second year in succession. February 27. College High 34: Lafayette 14. Dobby took his boys to Erie to play the conference play off. There were four teams in the tournament. College High drew Lafayette for the second game of the afternoon. After taking the lead early in the game, College High was never threatened by the opposing team. When the final gun sounded, College High had the long end of the score. February 27. College High 24: Frederick 12. In the second game of the tournament College High played the winner of the Frederick-Hudson game. Frederick and College High played to Win the Platte Valley Conference. Again College High took an early lead and played Frederick off their feet until the end of the game. College High won with the score of 24 to 12. 1 By winning this game College High was the undefeated champion of the Platte Valley Conference.

ie? The Bulldog, 1931 at H rack av College High entered the 1931 track season with a strong well balanced track squad. Although there was the loss of several point men in the last year's graduation class, the Blue and White team maintained its high standing in the track meets. This year about forty-five fellows went out for the track squad. Dobby and his two student coaches, Joe Livingston and Earnest Watkins rounded out a balanced track team. Several new boys came out for track. These boys are members of the squad. These inexperienced fellows showed that they could gather in the points as well as some of the most experienced men. This year Dobby will lose several of his track men in the graduating class of '3l. Lester Stroh, Duke Adams, Donald Moody, Harold Swanson and Wayne Powars will graduate, and their places will be hard to fill: but there are under classmen coming up to fill their places. College High will be able to keep up the pace they have been setting on the track field. This year College High took the Weld County meet by a large margin. Vernon Higgins and 'ADutch Kelimoff, sophomores at College Hi, were high point men at the meet with 15 points each. Vernon Higgins won his high school C when he was still in Junior High. Kelimoff is new at College High this year. Because of Dobby's coaching and the sportsmanship and team work of the fellows, College High pushed out into the lime light of sports during the school year of 1930-31. C'Hr4SI?F-Y
