Wilson, Mazo, Rosentreter, Man kins, Spring, Gleason, Jack Rookaird. Bottom Row: Dollarhide, Shaw, Dick, Watson, Clark, Jacobs. The showing of the basketball team this season was a disappoint- ment to Westwood supporters, for with four veterans from last year’s squad back to form the nucleus of the quintet, great things were ex- pected. However, several of the boys failed to hit their stride, and the team as the whole was unable to get going. The boys managed to turn back the fast Alumni team in two practice games but were unable to register wins against their high school opponents although several close, fast games resulted. The lightweights after a hard season managed to score the only victory for Westwood when they bested the Susanville midgets, 10-8 in the best game of the season. Les Ricketts, Clarence Jacobsen, and Harold Hull at forward; Laurence Woods at center; Allan O’Connor, Charlie Mollart, and Gor- don Wilson as guards carried the brunt of the work while Don Miller, Bert Ricketts, and Earle Yorton did some good work in relieving the regulars on numerous occasions. For the lightweights, Walfred Dick, Carl Jacobsen, Tony Perry, Jack Dollarhide, Jimmy Shaw, and Willis Jacobs were the outstanding performers with Jack Dollarhide and Carl Jacobsen giving the most promise of developing into future stars.

THE CHIPMUNK Page Forty-nine October 29th at Alturas Westwood 0 Alturas 38 Again Westwood was defeated. The fellows played 100 per- cent better. Scott, the Westwood center, was in the hospital for four weeksfafter this game. November 5th at Susanville Westwood 12 Susanville 18 This was a very interesting game from beginning to end. Susan- ville scored in the first quarter by bucking the ball down the field. A few minutes later Jake threw a long pass to Yorton who ran over the line for a touchdown. In the second quarter Susanville again scor- ed, making the score 12-6 in her favor. But again Yorton stepped in to intercept a pass and run 50 yards to a touchdown. At the end of the first half the score was 12-12. Susanville scored again in the last quarter, making the score 18-12. WESTWOOD’S “BIG GAME” November 11th at Westwood Westwood 6 Susanville 6 This was the best football game ever played in Westwood, both teams being out for victory. Westwood received the ball and marched straight down the field to a touchdown in the first few minutes of the play and held onto that lead until the third quarter. Here a punt was blocked and it was Susanville’s ball on the Westwood two yard line. Susanville scored but had to take two downs to do it. From there on both teams fought hard but could not win. The Junior High School team played two games with Susanville. They won the first on November 11th by a score of 6-12 and lost the second on November 17th, the score being 6-0. These boys will develop into valuable material. Inter-Class Football—October 13. The Junior-Sophomores played the Senior-Freshmen and were defeated by the score of 12-0.

W. H. S. didn’t play baseball last year so that we can’t very well say that any veterans returned. The team has played two games to date, defeating the Susanville second string to the tune of 13-5 in the first and being defeated in the second by Susanville’s first string 18-2. A third game is called for the 19th of May. Gorden Wilson was elected to captain the team. Here the Seniors won the Senior High School league by beating the Juniors 9-7 and the Sophomores 18-7. They also won the school championship by defeating the eighth grade 18-9. BASEBALL INTER CLASS INDOOR BASEBALL
