m SAGEBRUSH r Ji Then came the game which decided everything. If Brush lost, it would give three wins to Morgan, two to Sterling, and one to Brush, while if Brush won, it would mean a three-cornered tie. Then the boys came through with some basketball which surprised everyone except the coaches and themselves. Brush won the game 22-20. Then Brush got a had break. Lloyd Schooley became ill a week before the title play- off and Art Luedke had a cold. In spite of this, Brush gave hard games to both Morgan and Sterling in the tourna- ment. Much credit is due to Schooley for the good showing he made in spite of his illness. The lettermen are Schooley, Luedke, Kraemer, Clark, Hansen, and Winstead. M. Winger received a manager’s letter.

Coach Beresford called practice about November 16. Every man started out at the bottom with drill in the fundamentals. As soon as fundamentals were mastered, more advanced work was undertaken. The result was a fast, smooth, cooperative team which showed up very well in every game of the season. The first conference game was played at Sterling. Brush lost the game but fought hard and held Sterling to a seven-point lead in the final score. The following Friday, Brush played Fort Morgan under almost the same conditions and with almost the same result, Morgan having a seven-point lead. That was the night when Jerry Martin just could not miss that little steel ring. However, it was now Brush’s turn. The team underwent a complete change in spirit and action. The Beetdiggers played a hard, fast game to defeat Sterling 20-17 on the home floor. ( Pcme Ticentu-iico 1

After the kiln was cleaned out the second time, it was restoked with track. Indi- cations pointed toward a heavy yield of the lime of victory. Both our kiln foremen, “Stew” and “Lew,” were optimistic about the 1931 season, as a good crowd of boys showed up the opening night for workouts. NATIONAL ATHLETIC HONOR SOCIETY
