BOYS' SPORTS This year has been one of the outstand- ing years as for asgsports are concerned at Colusa Hi. Although no exceptionally fine teams have been turned out, approximately 90 per cent of the boys in school have signed up for at last one sport during the year, and in the long run Uncle Sam doesn't care about the number of games won or lost but he does care about the physical fitness of the men of this na- tion. For this reason and others the ath- letics of '43-'44 have left little to be de- sired in the way of preparing the boys for the future which is in store for them. As the year started out football suits were issued to twenty-eight men and of this number twenty-four completed the season. Although the team didn't win any games it was still better than average. The T formation which was used was best adapt- ed for the material that was brought our by long and grueling practices and although at times the offense was stopped cold the defense of the team was superb. In foot- ball Colusa had a defensive team that was hard to beat. After the struggle on the turf more than twenty-five boys tried their hand a basket- ball. In this sport, the teams won more than 70 per cent of their games. The Var- sity team used their height to great advant- age but there wasn't enough fight on the teamg consequently they were ahead at the half in most games but when they came baclc during the second half they usually stopped being aggressive and turned into a defensive team and if the half score didn't give them a big enough lead they lost. The B Team played an entirely differ- ent brand of ball. They combined speed and fast ball handling as their scoring threat and on the defense they used their speed again on a full court man to man. The Bee's were easily the outstanding team as far as baslctball goes and although they missed winning the championship by a nar- row margin they showed that they had the stuff it takes to fight right up until the final whistle was blown. The C Team fa combined C and DQ won the county championship and although they didn't play in league competition they might well have come out on top in that respect also. They were an aggressive team and displayed some spectacular shooting which was one of their high points. Twenty-five boys were issued baseball uniforms at the beginning of the season and from all indications this year's teams should be one of the best we have ever fielded on a diamond. There is something unusual about this team: it is composed of eight Juniors and one Senior. In their first game of the year, the team defeated Yuba City, making a good showing both in the field and at the plate. The tennis team, with ten men wield- ing raclcets, has turned into a well develop- ped team and although there will probably be no out of town tournaments the inter- class competition will be something to lceep your eve on. Although little is being done in the way of traclc, some of the boys have taken it upon themselves to limber up their muscles and in the inter-class meet the contestants will be offering each other a lot of compe- tition. In swimming as in the past there will be an inter-class meet on the last day of school and here also there should be some hard fought races. One thing is certain about the sports in the past year. The boys have learned that being a good loser is as important as being a good winner. They have devel- oped sportsmanship within themselves. MEREDITI-I CLEMENT
