EALEY DUNLAP, IGR. LAWRENCE HINES L FA We JEWEL DEFEE on January 4th and were handed a stinging 30 to 27 defeat. The Carlisle cagers de- feated Salem and Gaston in conference games but did not hit their usual stride until they journeyed to Kilgore to participate in an invitation tournament. The Indian basketeers played a brand of ball that was good enough for any high school, defeating Tyler, Texarkana, Leverett's Chapel and Kilgore to win the tournament trophy. The defeat of Troup and Rusk in conference games made 8 straight victories for the Redskin and put them in a tie with Leverett's Chapel for first place in the Oil Belt League.

To tune up for the County Tournament, Carlisle played Minden, classy Lone Star League team, and went down 31 to 40. In the first game of the County Tournament, the Indians defeated Overton 41 to 22 With the second game, Leverett's Chapel dropped Carlisle down into the loser's bracket from which they had to come up the hard way. It was necessary for them to defeat Gas- ton, London, and Overton in order to get backet. In two strenous, nerve-tingling blue clad cagers downed Henderson, 31 to Title. The Indians marched on to defeat copy the County Cage Crown. Having played 8 games in 11 days to a chance at Henderson, winner of the upper games, marked by sensational playing, the 24 and 38 to 34 thus winning the Class A Pine Hill, the Class B winners, 41 to 31, to salt away the county crown, the hard-fighting Carlisle Indians finally cracked under the gruclling strain and were upset 40 to 19 by an inspired Lufkin quintet in the District Tournament at Nacogdochcs on February 21. Thus ended another successful Carlisle Cage Campaign. HELVIN BELCHER HERIAN MULLINS ' Q .. DAVID HALL BILLY BOB ADDINGTOH : ---V za V A, , . 11 Ii S
