. H xl ff 53 ,4 ,, W Q HA 'Rye .sw 4 ... ,A i 3,1 Jan. 20th all three teams converged on Parker, our arch-rival for sweet revenge. They got it, but it was close. The freshmen set the pace for the night with a one-point win. The B's easily won. In the varsity game Parker held a four point lead for most of the game until the last few minutes. A free throw with a few seconds to go gave us a one-point victory. The night after featured some thrilling basketball in our gym. The Frosh won by a single diget in an overtime. The B gang made their usual easy win. But the A game, with the conference champs, Needles, was the thriller. At the end of the regula- tion game the scure was knotted, 23-all after a very tight game. In the next three minutes, as luck would have it, Needles scored five points to win. On the third and fourth of February the local lads played 29 Palms and Palm Springs. The B string scored an easy win in both games. The A string won by just three counters at 29 Palms and lost a very close one at the Springs ftwo pointsl. Tasting for more revenge, the Yellowjackets went up to Needles. For once, they didn't get it. The freshmen won by a big margin. Then came the surprise. The B team got beat! They lost a close one by three points. The A game instead of being the close thing as it was in Blythe was a walkaway for Needles. The next four games showed the home folks that the local team could play basketball, in spite of their won-lost record. On the 18th the Palm Springs Indians got scalped twice. The B game resulted as expected. The A team also won by 12 points. ln our last games of the season the freshmen trounced the 29 Palms B by a wide margin. Then the A team, suiting out with the B's Gust back from Santa Monical practiced their shots against the 29 Palms A's. About 20 players saw action in this game against 29 Palms. Our all-conquering B-string followed in the foot- steps of last years B squad by being one of T6 Southern California B teams invited to the annual Santa Monica Tourney. On Thursday the 23rd, traveling in three cars, the team left for Santa Monica. The next day they beat Oceanside by three points in a game in which the enemy made a stirring rally at the end of the game. That evening the local yokels had the misfortune of tangling with Santa Monica, who eventually won the tournament. In spite of playing a terrific game, Blythe lost 30-53.
