BASKET BALL Prospects were indeed bright for a winning basket ball team when the first cull for basket shooter.s was answered. Coach Uhrlaub had a team of letter men back besides 't world of other material. ' In the first pre-season game with Chilocco the Arks showed mid-season form -md scalped the Indians 46-30. A In another pre-season game with Co-ffeyville the team did not show as good form as in the first game but had little difficulty in defeating them 48-19. A We opened the Ark Valley League season with a win-defeating Wellington .lb-18 on their home court. - 1 The next night at home our boys were overcome 36-15 by Newtons excellent driving and passing machine. . The next game was with our old rival Winfield on the large Southwestern court. The score see-sawed back and forth, but Smith and Hackley dropped in baskets and when the gun went off A. C. came out on the long end of a 32-28 score. We trod all over Hutchinson in the next game by the large score of 45-20. The next Friday, El Dorado presented a flashy team. The Purpleand the Gold led by only three points at the half, but came back strong in the second half to de- feat their rivals 37-22. The Arks, at Wichita the next night, showed that their fo-rmer game had ex- hausted them, and Wichita ran away in the last half to win 33-19. A. C. took Wellington to another cleaning on our court defeating them 50-21. A. C.'s hopes of defeating Newton were blasted when the Railroaders defeated I f 0 2 0 ffherfrfof r eef? 'a ., , 4' .

They gave the Arks a battle royal, and it took some hard fighting t.o clinch the game which finally :ended,.44-35 in our favor. Our boyis were tired the next night at Kingman. Only in the last .few minutes of the game did they pull out of the fire, winning by the close score of1.21-19. A. C. played her best game of the year against Wichita here. The Arks were superior in height and speed, and Wichita found herself at the small end of a 43-23 score. The team missed a chance to clinch second place in the league by letting El Dorado beat them 27-21 the next night. V A. C. finally found her stride in the last game of the season with Kingman and overwhelmed them 42-17. g V ., The team fini-shed with an enviable record. They defeated Winfield 1wice,.in one season which is the second time in the history of the school that this has been accomplished. They tied for second place in the Ark Valley League, which fs the highest record an Arkansas City team has ever made. Only one game was 'lbstcon the home court. and that to Newton. The successful year for the'team was- due to its untiring fighting spirit, good team work, and the coaching of Coach Uhrlaubf' ' A. C. did not participate in' the state tournament this year- because sojnany players were ill with, the influenza. This is the first time'we have missed-'entering the tournament for many years. I ' Y V ' Instead of second team games, an intra-mural basket ball league was- estab- lished. Each room adopted the name of some Missouri Valley college. Intense in- terest was shown in these gamesg some were close and exciting. Valuable training was received by those who participated, and it should help develop better material for future high school teams. Oklahoma U won the cup. A. C. I-I. S. has always had a fighting basket ball team. The first team with scheduled games was in 1908. They lost two games to Winfield, tied one with Ponca City and won one from St. Johns. In 1909 Wichita was defeated twice, and Winfield for the first time. A. C. had no basket ball coach in 1910. In 1911. A. C. went to the semi-finals at Lawrence, won three out of four games played with Winfield. In 1913 Arkansas City was admitted to the Arkansas Valley League. A. C. won but one game that year and that was from Kingman. 1914 found A. C. fourth in the league. A. C. made a good showing at the state tournament in 1917. , A. C. won the state championship in 1918 after a slump in the league. I 1919 Ark City placed third in the league and went to the semi finals at the state tournament In the following years A C won several firsts at the Winfield tournament and showed up well in state tournaments Last year A C fought her vu ty to third 'p-lace in the league mmli D3 5 els 2 9 340 J Stn !
