Lillian Burns. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL A large squad of interested girls turned out for Basketball under Mrs. Leonard, the new coach. Five of last year’s champions were back for service and Loretta Phalen returning to Chinook, had won her letter the year before last. The girls won five out of six garnets played this season and tied the seventh with Big Sandy. Captain Zella Scott, elected after Captain Elect Clara Barber w as unable to play, was the team’s high scorer with 92 points to her credit. Margaret Ix tt ran a close second with 81 and Esther Burns third with 45. Following is the first team: Z. Scott, R. F. M. Lott. C. E. Burns. L. F. E. Proctor. L. F. L. Scott, R. F. L. Phalen, R. G. L. Burns, L. G. U. Barber, L. G. The first game of the season was on December 22nd. when they met the Alumni, winning by a 12-34 count. The girls suffered their only defeat of the season when they lost to Big Sandy at Chinook 23-24. It was a fast, hard game and our scorers couldn’t hit their stride. On January 11th, they took revenge when they tramped Harlem 45-16 at Chinook. On January 18th the team pushed cars through the snow to Big Sandy and played a tie game, 35 all, with the fast purple and Gold quint. They came home and found the Malta team here, invading. They took that fast group down a notch, winning 44-23. Accompanied by the boy’s team, the girls journeyed to Malta and E. Burns broke lose, scored 2S points and Malta had lost another, 26-59. The season was drawing to an end. Few games had been scheduled, owing to the other teams full schedules, and other difficulties. The team closed a good season at Harlem on February 1, when they whipped that team 25-17. The girls showed good fast team work throughout the season and outclassed all their opponents. The work of the guards was good, allowing but little scoring from the opponents. The second team played a good game here with the girls team from Fort Belknap Indian Reservation. The Chinook girls won easily, 9-41, outclassing their opponents at every turn. The girls scored a total of 255 points for the season’s games against their opponents 144.

May. 1929 THE CHINOOK BREEZE 29 but the Chinook line was too much for them. Chinook started out with several fumbles in the back field, but made up for them before the game was over. At the quarter the score was 7-0 in Chinook’s favor. At the end of the half it was 25—0 and they were still going strong. Benton seemed to tighten up in the next quarter and it ended with a score of 3 —0. Noyes, Skillen, and Reser continued to make good runs in the next quarter and the game ended with a score of 49—0. The hottest game of the season was played Friday, October 26 with Glasgow. It was a hard fought g me from beginning to end. There seemed to be quite a lot of fumbling on both sides during this game but lost yardage w'as made up each time by the long runs cf Chinook backfield. There was plenty of excitement all during this game and the fans were in a continuous uproar. However. Chinook did not fail to score in each quarter and the game ended with a score of 26—0. The score was as follows: Chinook — 6 13 19 26 Glasgow — 0 0 0 0 In the last game with Big Sandy. Chinook’s hopes for District Championship vanished. Big Sandy played a wonderful defensive game and showed a decided improvement since September 28. Their offensive work was good and Flatness got away for everal good runs. Chinook had made two touchdowns when Flatness filtered through Chinook defense for a touchdown. In the third quarter a fumble on Chinook’s part resulted in a touchdown for Sandy. There was much discussion over this as the ball was in partial possession of both a Chinook and Sandy man. From there on the game was very tight and Chinook was unable to score. Chinook iime and again marched down to within a few feet cf Sandy’s goal line but failed to score each time. The game ended with a score of 12—13 in Sandy’s favor and Chinook's hopes vanished. We feel that this last game was a flunk and although it prevented us from playing for the District Championship, we are confident that they will be revenged next year. We lose but few' of the football men this year, including Capt. Skillen, Salfer, Brinkman, and McPherson, but we are sure this will be made up by new recruits. Professor W. T. Scott, Director of the Inter-schola tic Football Elimination, gave H. Brinkman. W. Skillen, B. Noyes, J. Sackett. and M. Proctor honorable mention on the 1928 football team. Roy Maney (Translating Caesar)—They stood still and fell back a few feet. Miss Baur (in Latin 10)—Caesar makes a second invasion of Britain. Mary F.—Oh he would! Mr. Zim—Our kitchen is so small that we have to use conden ed milk. Have you heard that Ike has become rich at a single stroke? No. how did it happen? His rich uncle had a stroke.
