' ' The scores are as follow: Bowen 2 Bowen 3 Bowen U Bowen 5 Bowen 3 Bowen 11 Bowen 6 Bowen 2 Augusta 7 Nauvoo O Colusa 1 Plymouth 6 Colchester U Augusta 2 Nauvoo 2 Colusa 7 Bowen 8 Plymouth 18 In our first game of the year we were beaten by Augusta by the decisive score of 7 to 2. The next game was with Nauvoo at Nauvoo whom we defeated b a score of 3 to O with Webster hurling a no-hitter. Then came Colusa whom we beat by a score of 4 to 1. We hit the road again and went to Plymouth where we were turned back by a score of 6 to 5. This was a heart breaker since we were ahead 5 to 3 with 2 men out and 2 men on base with 2 strikes on the batter and you can easily guess the rest, the batter up hit a home run to end the ball game with us being on the losing end. Our next entanglement was with Colchester who beat us by a score of U to 3. we then journeyed to Augusta where we trounced them by a score of 11 to 2. Nauvoo then came here and we defeated them by a score of 6 to 2. we then went to Colusa where we walloped them 22 to 7 but came home and in our next game were defeated by Plymouth 18 to 8. we hope to avenge some of theseudefeats and make our spring season a more prosperous one. Basketball Continued Earlier in the season the Bulldog's journeyed to the lst Astoria Invitational Tournament where they took second place by winning their first two games and losing their third game to a very powerful Ashland team. This team in the last report we had they had a record of nineteen wine against no defeats. So far-as the record shows it isn't to good but many of the games have been close. In the Plymouth game it took a double over time to decide the victor who was Ply- mouth and in the Central game a last second shot to give them the victory by one point. But as some people seem to forget it is not always only the victor who wins but the other team also in the way in which they grow up and learn to take defeat in stride. wg wish to thank the fans who so loyally followed ns. In the district tournament the Bulldogs trounced Terre Haute fLomax7 by a score of eighty to fourty-three. In the championship game the Bowen quintet was bested by Colusa to end the season for the team and to end the basketball for the three seniors Larry Webster, Jim Hartley, and Burnard McHone.
