Book III Strength and BA SKF TBA ll Lady Luck, who is a kind of guardian angel of sports, wasn't very partial toward the Eagles basketball team during the 1945 season. For a short time in the County League race it looked as though the fate-ren- dering woman had been won over to the Eagles' side. That was when the FHS five defeated consecutively Meridian and Lynden. But it was a pre- mature opinion, for the Eagles lost three tilts in a row following their two-game winning streak. In the final league contest of the season Lady Luck didn't abandon her disfavor of the locals, but allowed them to de- feat the title-winning Nooksack Valley Pioneers to stir up a little ex- citement in county sports circles. No, Lady Luck just wasn't an Eagle fan. A few of the tough breaks she handed Coach Cliff Axelson's cagers were: C13 The loss of ace forward Bob Cline for three league games because of an ankle injury received in a practice tilt with Concrete High, C23 The collarbone injury sustained by Roland Peterson, taking him from two months of practice sessions and elongating the time needed for him to get into shape, C33 Many border-line decisions by referees handed down to opposing teams, C45 The lack of height in the Eagles' camp that made them easy prey for teams which used man-to-man defenses. At times, scattered as they may have been, the FHS five was the peak of perfection in passing and ball handling and shooting. Chief among these was the final game of the season in which the cellar-struck Eagles edged out the championship-winning Nooksack Valley Pioneers, 44-43. Trailing dur- ing the first half, the locals came back in the second and third quarters to score one of the richest County League upsets in many a season. Pace- setters for the Eagles were Roland Peterson and Dave Dyck. Peterson was the ablest ballhawker of the evening and fired home 15 points while Dyck with his amazing push-shot style netted 13 tallies. The Eagles won three of their 10 league games. Every one of their triple of victories was decided by a single point. They squeezed by Meridian, 37-36, nosed out Lynden, 32-31, and crept past Nooksack Valley, 44-43. Star baekboard retrievers, a couple of fellows who did it when Coach Axelson barked Crack that baekboard, were Bob Cline and Bob Hansen. A consistent point-maker and a tricky passer, center Harold Reimer was one of the best pivot-men in the county, if not the best. Don Bring was a capable ball-hawker and Dave Dyck, another guard, showed his skill when he met up with zone-defenses against which his ability to score single arm push-shots was terrific. In trouble-shooting roles Roland Peterson, Bill Sundean, Bennett Asplund, and Allen Cratzenberg all proved their worth. Both Bring and Dyck graduate this year, leaving vacant two first team guard shots. Sundean of the reserves is also among the '45 seniors. Cline, Reimer, Hansen, Peterson. Asplund, and Cratzenberg will all be on hand next season. Bob and Bill Bezona who played fine hall on the second team will also return for action on the Varsity lineup. --RCD CARDWELL.
