Donkey parade The names in the line up change, but the action and the leading players remain the same. The real stars of the annual donkey basketball game are the donkeys themselves. There was a new twist in choosing riders this year. This somewhat dubious honor went to the students who sold the greatest number of tickets. There was also a different opponent - the Lawndale Cardinals who proceeded to trounce the Lancers. ats 1. Sometimes you can’t tell the players from the other participants without a program. That’s “Pecos” Paul Aziz trying to hold the basketball and manage the donkey. 2. Ah, come on, fella, let’s play ball and have fun! 3. Watch out, Lawndale, ‘Saddle Sore’ Selina has the ball now, and she’s on her way to score for Lennox. 4. A bored donkey patiently waits for Nick Hougasian to climb aboard and get on with the basketball game. 5. Everybody gets in the act to root for their favorites.
