June, 1937 .si THE if ge 49 CardinalCag Shatter Splits Games With McFarland McFarland, Jan. 8 -In one of the fast- est and roughest bas- ketball games of the season, Shafter lost the first contest to McFarland 19-23. P 0 t t e r was higil point man with 9 points. Potter also showed very bril- liant Iioor work. Early in the seccnd period Jack White went out on fouls, followed in the last quarter by Tommy Dorris. Under the hard, aggressive playing of Mike Janzen at guard, the Cards were able to hold the Cougars to a close score. Shafter, Feb. 12-The return basketball game, played between Shafter and McFarland on the local court, was won by Shafter 34-28. In this game Orley Berg, a new man this year, was the star for the locals, making 17 points. He seemed to be able to sink them when and from where he wanted to. This game was not nearly so rough as the first, though it was more thrilling and spectacular throughout. Coach Bill White's A's made their test showing so far for the season in this game. Cards Defeat Tehachapi Squad in Gridiron Tussfe Tehachapi, Nov. 7 - After a loggy first half which ended in a scoreless tie, the Shatter 'Card- inals settled down to business in a big way, chalking up 25 points before the final gun. Tehachapi was unable to score. Shafter's hopes for league su- premacy rest on one remaining game, in which Maricopa, victor in the last encounter, l1opes to annex the coveted trophy. 'ZIIIIS V6 Shafter Cagers Drop Close Came To Maricopa Indians Maricopa, Dec. 11--The Shaf- ter varsity quintet dropped a hard-fought game to the West- -side heavies by a score of 19 to 17. This match, which was close throughout the entire game, was rather a heartbreaker for the lo- cal boys as they came up from behind in the last few minutes of play, but were unable to till the gap of the two-point lead wl1icl1 the Maricopa team had at- tained. The local team played quite a strong defensive game with their tight zone defense holding the sharp shooting Mari- copa cagesters. Continued from page -17 had to be kicked over. The next kick was good to Fry on his own ten yard line, and behind good blocking he scampered 90 yards to tie the score. This was proba- bly one of the most spectacular plays of the year, because every Cougar was blocked out and Fry ran unmolested. The third and fourth quarters were mostly played in the center of the field, with neither team ever in scoring position the rest of the game. p and nS son tx Shafter Cagers Lose Game To Wasco Wa-sco, January 22.-Shafter A's were taken into camp by Wasco by a lopsided score, which the reporter wishes to forget. Shafter was without the fight- ing guard, Jack White, who was out with a leg injury. As usual, Shafter had a lot of fight, but just couldn't put the ball through the hoop. The Wasconians used three teams against Shafter, which had only one, and thus they were able to wear the Cardinals down. Most of the Tiger's points were made on long shots. The short dump shots were stopped largely by Janzen and Potter. Shafter took its scoring in spurts, which were not frequent. enough to keep the sco1'e even. Dorris, with seven points, was high point man for the Cardinals. Starting lineups: Shafter Wasco Potter ............ L.F .....,.....
