HASKETBHH The Winfield basketeers with Ollie Thomas at the helm completed the Ark Valley league season with three wins and eleven losses placing seventh in the league standings. Although the Blue and White got off to a shaky start they came right along and by the end of the season were one of the top teams of the Valley. The Thomasmen played two pre-league games taking Moline 29 to 27 and losing to Anthony 19 to 17. For their first league tussle the Vikings took on Newton, league favorites, and lost 34 to 14. The Vikings came from behind December 17 to down Wichita North in an overtime contest 24 to 20. The,Blue and White then hit low ebb as they lost to El Dorado 20 to 15, Hutchinson 17 to 14, and their arch rival, Arkansas City, 22 to 15, as the locals displayed poor shooting form. In their games with Wichita East and Wellington, Win- field led both teams for the first half but were overcome in the last as East won 32 to 26 and Wellington was the victor 35 to 26. Starting the second round of play the locals again met the league leading and undefeated Newton Railroaders and gave the Railers their worst scare of the season. The score changed hands five or six times, but the gun went off when Newton was ahead 22 to 20. North then took Winfield 30 to 18 on their home court, but the Vikings bounced back the next week to down El Dorado there 27 to 18, and the next night Hutchinson had to play an overtime game to win from the locals 24 to 22, The Thomasmen clashed with Arkansas City February 18 on the Bulldogs' court. The Arks won 22 to 21 on a last minute field goal. The Vikings split even in their last two encounters, winning from Wichita East 31 to 24 and losing to Wellington 32 to 29 after leading most of the way. The cagers qualified for the state meet by taking Wichita East 26 to 21 in the Arkansas City Regional Tourney and then took second place in the Re- gionals, losing to Wellington 26 to 19 in the finals. In their final game of the season the Vikings were eliminated from the State play by Newton 28 to 17 after playing the Railroaders even the first half. The senior squad members were Harry Barnthouse, Bill King, Ira Barkman, Robert Cook, Lucien Barbour, and Iack Fuller.

Page 19 SEIIANAI BASKETHAH AEAAA JUNIIAH HIBH BASKETBALL The senior high second team cagers under Coach O. C. Thomas played only eight games this year winning five of them. In their first game at Newton they were swamped by the Railers, and in their second en- counter at East they lost an overtime game. Then the Viking seconds took both Arkansas City and Wellington, were soundly thumped for the second time by Newton, but came back strong to take their last three games from Arkansas City, East, and Wellington. ln addition to league games. they downed a strong Salvation Army team twice and took Burden's first team once. Under the capable coaching of R. E. Titus the 1943-44 edition of the junior high basketball team completed a successful season winning six of eight games against junior high teams. The junior cagers trimmed Newton twice which is quite a feat in itself, took three of cr four- game series from Arkansas City. and split games with Wellington. Against senior high teams Coach Titus' boys won three and lost four. They played games with Dexter, Burden, and St. Iohns. In games with the Winfield Future Farmers the juniors won the first encounter but lost the last two games. The seventh and eighth grade teams finished their season undefeated winning two games each from Arkansas City and St. Johns Academy. 'Bw Back row, left to right: Iackson, Madison, Coonce. Holman.
