Getting off to a slow start, Chatfield came back to make a very good showing in the last half of the season. In the subdistrict tournament, C. H. S. drew Harmony to which they lost 25-23. Harmony went on to win third place in the district. Future prospects were made bright by a second team that won seven of the last eight games. BASKETBALL RECORD C-H-S OPD0l19Ht C.H.S.

Baier, Olson, Goldsmith Brown ' I Coach Ralph Spencer worked miracles with a group of light, inexperienced boys in developing them into a well-balanced team. Although outplaying Lanesboro in the opening game of the season, the Gophers lost by a score of 6-0. Bouncing back, they crushed Spring Grove 26-0 in a glorious Home- coming iinish. Sparked by two interceptedfpasses in the last quarter, the Gophers took another Homecoming cel- ebration at Plainview, 12-0. The next game proved to be a heart-breaker at Preston, when the boys lost to the district champs, 7-6. They finished district play by downing Rushford 7-6 and Harmony 20-0. Because of a hard-fighting team and an aerial combination of Colquhoun and Grim that clicked consistently, and Captain Ray Waller's all-'round play, Chatfield closed the season with a well-earned triumph over Stewartville, 12-7. The annual Armistice Day game with St. Charles was postponed be- cause of a severe blizzard. In the whole season, The Gophers counted 83 points to the opponents' 26. Letter winners were: Seniors-Ray Waller, Ian Colquhoun, Stanley Manahan, Bernard Canney, Maro Evans, George Schenmerhorn, Ralph Thorson, Burton McBroom, Warren Brown, and Robert Lam- pe.

The season opened with an eight to six victory over Lanesboro, but Rushford came 'along next and we lost by a six to two decision. Great improvement was shown in the two following games which were victories for the Gophers. The scores for these were CHS 6, Lanesboro 5 and CHS 11, Rushford 6. The next two games proved to be the downfall as both games were lost. Wykofl' won by a 13 to 8 decision and Preston 10 to 9. This ended a successful season which had a 50-50 average.
