 Training rules, our Team would say, Are only mads to throw away. The basketball team had a fairly unsuccessful season with about an equal number of wins and losses. We were eliminated from the finals at tournament by two losses, placing fifth. Joe Eslick was our high—point man with a total of 83 points. The starting line—up at tournament was Joe Eslick, Fred Crotty, Walter Bahr, Ralph Ripke, Dick Rohde, with Donald Aadsen, Donald Nichols, and Ted Gigrich as substitutes. Mr. Veeder was coach.

This was Bigfork's first full season of six-man football with Big- fork winning four out of five games. We were defeated by Mission. The scores of the games were as follows: Ronan 6, Bigfork 12; Hot Springs 18, Bigfork 37. Joe Eslick was this yecr1s captain and is one of the best signal callers in Western Montana. We lose four first-string men, Crotty, B. Dunlap, Rohde, ana Barbee. Browne and Bahr, first-string ends, and Eslick will be back. Wicker, G. Parker, Herron, Greeson, and Nichols from last year's squid, and incoming Freshmen, are expect- ed by Coach Harris to give material for a good club next year.
