FOOTBALL Owing to the fin and a late start, we did not have a football team this year. However, the prospects for next year are very bright. BASKETBALL The past season has been one of the most successful ones in which Arvada has ever figured. The season began early in November. Coach Sells had a large squad out for practice. The team finally dwindled down to the following: Bi through, Allen, Finkbeiner, forwards; Martelon, center; Harris. Maloney, Schooley, guards. The first league game was played with Golden. They were reputed to be our most dangerous rival, but we did them up in fine style. The result of the attack was the score of 84 for Arvada, and 16 for Golden. The following week we journeyed to Littleton. This was a much better game than the Golden one. However, we won this encounter in the last five minutes of play, the score being 80 to 20 in our favor.

CHERRY AND W HITE O0OOOOC CM OOOWOWW O :OOOOOOOOOW-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO C WOO OO Our next game was with Wheatridge, our ancient and hated rival. We cleaned them up in fine style, for the first time in seven years. The result of the massacre was a score of 37 to 15. This ended the first half of the season. The second half was the exact duplicate of the first, the score being: Arvada 5 2, Golden 20; Arvada 34, Wheatridge 25: Arvada 59, Littleton 25. We were all primed for the trio of championship games with Louisville. We played the first game at Louisville and there we met our first defeat, 25 to 23. However, we came back at them the following Friday and won the game. They were forced to forfeit because one of their players refused to abide by the referee’s decision. This tied us, so the following Friday we fought out the tie on the Y. M. C. A. floor in Denver. We easily defeated them by the score of 20 to 19. We then made a three-day trip to Boulder, where Arvada was put on the map as a game, aggressive bunch of players. BASEBALL At the first call for candidates. Coach Hickey was swamped with prospective stars of the diamond. We had practically an entire team of last year’s letter men. With these and a few new ones Coach Hickey picked the following team: Martelon (captain), catcher: Bilbrough, pitcher; Fink- beiner, first base: Harris, second base; Schooley, third base: Allen, short stop; Richter, left field: Hobson, center field: Hutchings, right field; Harkness, substitute; Paid, substitute. This bunch proved a good combination. Our first game was with Littleton. We bested them and our own bone-heads and finally won by the close score of 5 to 4. The following week we bucked up against Wheatridge. We duplicated what we did in basketball and sent them down to defeat by the score of 24 to 8. After them came Golden. They met the same fate, their score being 11 to 7. As the league games are half played and up to date we have not lost a game, it looks as if Arvada were due for another cup. Pape Twenty-nine
