DISTRICT MEET Abilene's favored Eagles in District Five Meet, drew a first-round bye and then proceeded to take things easy as they rolled up a 37-I4 victory over the Forsan Buf- faloes. As usual, Elton Hailey set the pace for the Eagles twentieth straight win of the season, with sixteen points. Then in the semi-finals Abilene's five had very little trouble with Peacock of Stonewall County. At the end of the first half of this game, the score was 29-IO: so Coach Miller let the reserves carry on in the final quarters. While Abilene was setting this fast pace, Hamlin's Pied Pipers were showing an equal- ly strong pace. When it became known that Abilene and Hamlin would meet in the finals, a good game was anticipated. Abilene, with the usual show of grace and poise, defeated Hamlin, at the same time winning District Five basketball champion- ship. Elton Hailey was high-point man. Top defensive honors went to Frank Bra- haney. The rest of the team also came in with their share of honors. All reserves were steady and dependable. P. H. Hill was hot on the trail of Elton Hailey with almost as many points. The rest of the members showed their worth with brilliant performances. This was the first time Abilene had won district since l93O. FRANK BRAHANEY Y Guard Frank Brahaney, regular guard, is an all-round performer. He has a dead eye for the basket, besides being most efficient in keeping his opponents from scoring. He never becomes nervous, no matter how hard the game. For his brilliant performance at the State Meet he was awarded a position on the All-State basket- ball team. I. T. DENNIS Center I. T. Dennis came back this 1 year after two years as a re- t . serve to close his high school l career in a topnotch manner. He was slated for a regular position last season, but an inlury early l l FRANK ERAHANEY TI in the term forced him to with- draw. This year with his six feet three inches he proved to skep- tical critics that he was well qualified to play his position. I-le has plans for a basketball career in college. I. T. DENNIS R. Q. GARRETT Guard R. Q. Garrett proved to be a strong asset to the squad this season. He was noted not only for his brilliant performances but also for the inspiration afforded his fellow players. In every organization there is usually a jolly fellow who supplies the laughs for his team-mates. The laughs relieve the players' tension ana stiffness, and help them to play the game better. That is the reason that R. Q. Garrett proved a strong ally to his team. R. Q. GARRETT Page 100
