Girls' Basket Bull IRENE PARSONS, Captain Rip was the most consistent player on the team. During the first of the sea- son she played forward, but in the latter part, she made a wonderful guard. Very few forwards made a field goal when she was anywhere near. I DORIS BATES Dot was the best forward in the state, scoring 113 points, the highest made in the A. A. U. She will be back next year hitting the basket harder than ever. I EDITH QUALLS 'iEdie played center the first of the season, but was shifted to side center dur- ing the A. A. U. meet. She would certainly have won an All-State place in this po- sition, had an All-State team been selected. She played good basket ball the Whole season. One Hundred Twenty fwe

One Emdowwentrfwr 'E' - The Cager Season Concluded 4 BRECKENRIDGE The next two games were played with Breckenridge, for the Class A district Championship, and, as in the practice games, the Bucks were no match for the superior team work and defense of the Cisco quintet. Breck was .eliminated 33-21 and 28-12. GRAYFORD -On the following Saturday Cisco met Crrayford, Class B champions. The Jack Rabbits were going good, while the Loboes played their worst game of the season and had trouble nosing out Grayford 17-13. This game gave Cisco an undisputed Championship for the first time. COLORADO T The Wolves from the plains of West Texas came to Cisco for two bi-district games and to see who would go to College Station. Colorado had a famous offense built around their tall center, but it broke to pieces when pitted against the strongest and most spectacular man-to-man defense ever seen on the local court. Colorado was helpless the first game and Cisco won 31-13. Andrus at center played his best game of the year, while Smith, Van Horn, and Pippen starred. In the second game the Wolves proved stronger, but Purvis, Yeager, and Smith were too much, while Pippen, Van Horn, and Andrus played excellent basket ball. Cisco won 20-17. A. A. U. TOURNAMENT Sixteen teams were entered in this tournament with Canton, El Paso, and Childress the favored entries. Cisco triumphed over Wills Point in her first game, but the Loboes were off form and played carelessly, beating the W. P. team 25-12. Lubbock came next and fell before the Loboes 29-8. They were a much better team than the one that played W. P. Sprawls substituting for B. 'Pippen was the star of the game. Childress followed Lubbock and it was the hardest game of the tournament. Childress had four men over 6 ft. and they gave the Loboes plenty of trouble, Cisco winning 33-23. Then came the final game with Canton. Fresh from their victory over El Paso, they were over-confident and ready, but the Loboes were too fast at the start and pulled up in lead at the half. Canton came back scrapping, but a championship in view spurred the Cisco boys on and they held a substantial lead all the way. Sprawls was the sensation of the tournament and was third in scoring honors. Runt had much to do with Cisco's 31-17 victory and winning the championship. After the game Cisco was presented with a large silver loving cup and ten gold basket balls. Mr. Shultze representing the A. A. U. presented the cups to the captains of the various teams. After a week of practice the Loboes were off to College Station to enter the Interscholastic League tournament. The Cisco team drew a bye in the first round, but were unlucky enough to draw in the second round, Athens. I The Athens team were all over six feet-that with good basket ball playing defeated the Loboes 30-18. Q .
