RESERVE BASKETBALL Thirty boys answered the first call for reserve squad practice this fall, but the reserve coach, Mr. Skoglund reduced this to nineteen boys after two weeks of practice. The squad was made up primarily of freshmen boys. The squad had eight or nine games scheduled to be played, but due to the climatic condition this past winter, it was necessary to cut the schedule to five games. The ace scorers for the squad were Floyd Pederson and Jerry Miller. The standout men on defense were Ronald Hattel and Eugene Benson. The seasons schedule was as follows: Dec. 9 Portal vs. Crosby They “ZT Us Tff Dec. 12 Kenmare vs. Crosby 45 22 Jan. 2 Portal vs. Crosby 31 16 Jan. 20 Grenora vs. Crosby 16 45 Feb. 5 Kenmare vs. Crobsy 39 26 T otal T5-? TIE BABY MAROONS The 1947-48 basketball season for the Baby Maroons got under way at a rather late date, their first game being played with Noonan, January 9. The season from the standpoint of games played, was a short one with only five scheduled games. Players showed improvement as the season progressed with Bob Steen being high point scorer of 74 points, followed by Norvil Carlson with 68 points and Kenneth Odegaard with 54. During the entire season the Baby Maroons scored a total of 254 points to 137 for their opponents. The Gold Medal Tournament, which was held at Alamo on April 5, saw the Crosby boys take second place. In the first game Crosby played, they found themselves facing the grade team of Hanks, N. Dak., which they defeated 34 to 13. In the next game, they were pitted against the Alamo grades whom they defeated 29 to 21. For the championship game, the Crosby team found themselves playing a tough Wildrose team. The game was close throughout, with Coach Roberts boys being nosed out 30-28 in the closing minutes. Two Crosby boys, Bob Steen and Fred Anderson, were placed on the all-tourney team. Bob was put on the first five and Fred received a second team berth.

The Pep Club was organized for the purpose of leading tne cheering section for basketball and football games, and providing additional entertainment for the sport fans at the time oat periods of basketball games and tournaments. We sponsored a pie sale in the fall for the purpose of building up our treasury. Some of this money was used to finance our annual Thanksgiving formal party. The money remaining in the treasury was used to help pay for the numerals and chevrons for our letter sweaters. The girls were in charge of the concessions at the Border League Tournament, the money derived from these sales going to the Athletic Association. In return we received free transportation to the District Tourney at Kenmare which we attended in March. Alice Lee--Ass’t. Leader Elaine Bilstad--Leader Delores Malnaa--Ass’t.
