1948 FOOTBALL SEAS ON The '48 football season opened with fifteen inexperienced boys showing up for practice. After two weeks of practice, a game was played with St. Marys of Devils Lake in which the Chiefs were defeated Sl-0. But this did not discourage the boys--in another week they played Rolla and lost 18-O. But the team had improved greatly over their first game. In one of their best games of the year the Chiefs held the highly rated Cando Cubs on even terms for three quarters but in the last quarter Coach Ulland sent in his reserves and the heavier Cubs scored three more touchdowns to win Z5-6. The Chiefs defeated Belcourt Z6-13, and Rolette twice by 54-0 and 19-6. In the last game of the season they lost to Rolla 24-12. The team showed fight and a great deal of spirit during the entire season and improved greatly on offense and defense. With some additional equipment to work with Bisbee in l949 should be one of the stronger teams in this district--with all team men ,ers returning except Hiram Maler for 1949. As for the seasons' record of four losses and three wins Bisbee can be very proud considering this the first year Bisbee had football on a regular basis since 1920. Fifteen new football uniforms were purchased to start out the 1948 season. These uniforms were purchased from the Northern School Supply at Minot. The uniforms were issued to Curtis Larson, Walter Bierman, Ronald Scobba, Gilbert Nelson, Dick Benson, Duane Markwardt, William Gores, james Keller, Ronald Wibe, Donald Kolberg, Jacky Neameyer, Hiram Maler, David Bretheim, Robert Loe, and Richard Klier. A few more of the boys were interested in football this year but due to the shortage of uniforms they were unable to participate. It is the intentions of the school to order a few more new uniforms for the 1949 season so that everyone who is interested will have a chance to participate in the game. Walter Bierman and Curtis Larson did a splendid job as co-captains for the 1948 football season. 29

GIRLS BASKETBALL The girls are playing their second year of competitive basketball. Last season they practiced about three weeks and then entered the county tournament at Cando. Due to lack of experience the girls were rated as the poorest team entering the tournament but to the surprise of most fans they gave Cando a very tough game and beat Rock Lake in the consolation game. Shortly after the tournament, basketball letters, with gold basketball and stripe attached, were ordered and about a month later they were awarded to the following girls: Marilyn Christofferson, Solveig Erickson, Taletta Foss, Verna Fruck, Betty Lou Gerrard, Delores Gerrard, janet Hendrickson, LaVerne O'Brian, Ann Lang, Violet Reid, and Marlene Schmidt and Betty Geisen. This year eighteen girls turned out for practice. They have worked diligently at the few practices they have been able to hold. Naturally they are as yet very inexperi, enced but they will be a much stronger team when tournament time rolls around in March than they were last year. p Teams the Bisbee Sextette is playing this year are Cando, Egeland, Munich, and Rock Lake. Following is a list of the players on this years roster: Marilyn Christofferson, Rose Erck, Taletta Foss, Verna Fruck, Betty Geisen, Betty Lou Gerrard, Delores Gerrard, Wilma Johanson, Dorothy Oakland, Violet Reid, Geraldine Schmidt, Marlene Schmidt, and Merdith Stanton. JUNIOR BASKETBALL The members of the junior Basketball Team are: 'Jacky Neameyer, Dick Benson, Bobby Keller, Bartley Held, Laurence Bonn, Charles Auka, Harvey Held, Sheldon Schmidt, Billy Hendrickson, Richard Lien, james Larson, and Edward Brannan. The towns which the team have played are the following: St. Annes, Leeds, Rolla, Rolette, and Belcourt. The juniors have lost only one game and that was toLeeds. They played a return game with Leeds later on and won by a score of 30-28. This was a very close game and the players were matched very well. Next year the junior team will lose several of their present players. They are as follows: Jacky Neameyer, Dick Benson, Bobby Keller, Bartley Held, Laurence Bonn, Charles Auka, and Harvey Held. 31
