The Jun- iors came out of the miniature Civil War with flying colors as was expected. However, the Senior Class gave the third year men a good run for the championship. The Frosh and Sophs finished third and fourth respectively. Coach Wilbur E. Scantlebury issued the first call for Basketball right after the class tournament and an immense squad reported to him and Ass't Coach Brunk, Scan cut the squad down gradually until only ten men were left in the first squad and then he began the season's work. Creston played a total of eighteen games this year including the tournament games, and the Panthers won 12 out of these encounters. This year's team was by far the best team Creston has produced in years. For the first time Creston played a stalling game this year, and before the curtain had closed on the season the Panthers had a highly perfected stalling game which in a few cases netted them more points than the fast breaking offense also built up by Scan. The high points of the season were when nearing the end of the season Creston en- countered both Atlantic and Shenandoah in the order named. These teams then stood at the top of the Conference race, but Creston showed an almost superhuman brand of basketball to beat Atlantic by the score of 27-13, and Shenandoah by a score of 29-14. Creston beat Osceola by a score of 29 - 17, Winterset by a score of 26 - 23, and downed Lenox in the final by a score of 34-27 to win the Sectional tournament. The Panthers beat Grand River by a score of 28-233 but lost to Ottumwa 37-9 in the District meet at Ottumwa.
