 RHODODENDRON 1934 £ Hoops, My Dear! Despite the fact that the Sea Hawks went decidedly in arears this year in their football record, they were pulled out of the red by the basketball scores, leaving as far as points won, really a neat balance. While the locals did not place in the county, they gave the leading teams plenty of scares as may be evidenced by the scores given below. The Purple and White started off rather poorly, but along about the middle of the season, they began to rally. Perhaps the biggest upset of the year was the defeat of Burlington by the Hawks on the latter’s floor. With the close of the basketball season, the athletic careers of six players ended. Their loss left a huge hole which can, however, be filled by second and junior high team men. Those who will not be back next year are Cal Smith, veteran forward; Delbert Boulton, star guard; Joe Dwelley. guard and center; Vernon Wold, guard; Flavis Cartee, center; and Harold Anderson, guard. First and second team lettermen who form the nucleus for next year’s squad are: Etter, Nondorf, E. Olson, Millard, Barcott, I. Olson, Lowman, Andrich, Blackinton, Moen and Hambly. Under the able supervision of Coach Bob Hill, the second team came through with a fairly good record. The team played preliminary contests with practically all the first team games and were second in the county. Playing in one first team game with Oak Harbor, the “seconds” came out on top. They will all be back next year. r wenty-six

ATHLETICS £ Although the final gun of every game this year found the Hawks on the short end of the score, they accomplished a great deal. They learned how to “take if' as he-men should. It is not at all difficult to fight like demons until the final gun and come off the field fighting when the score is in your favor, but to show that same fight and keep :hat same smile when the score is against you takes what is commonly known as grit, and this year’s Hawk eleven had it. One spectator, when coming out of the ball park, after Anacortes had received an overwhelming defeat at the hands of a powerful Sedro Woolley aggregation, remarked that he had never seen a team show the fight that Anacortes showed when they were defeated. The boys who have spent their evenings out in the gravel pit, sometimes called the athletic field, can consider their time well spent when they have learned to play the game as they did this past season. Turning out every night and taking the onslaught of the first stringers, the second team, although their record was about the same as the first team, did not win one game with Mount Vernon. They were coached by Howard Boulton. T wenty-five
