22 CROWN POINT INKLINGS Bulletin: Crown Point went on the road again to play Calumet in their home gym. Although this game was no snap Crown Point, won eas¬ ily by a score of 33-22. Bulletin: Crown Point lost both games to North Judson this season, the first at home was lost with a score of 24-12, and the second at North Judson 36-19. North Judson boys were undefeated and they contin¬ ued their winning streak with two strong wins but Crown Point cer¬ tainly plans to even up with North Judson next year. Register: Crown Point traveled to Chester¬ ton and lost 17-18. Crown Point was leading all the way until the last few seconds. The Rangers made a basket and a free throw to get out in front. The boys fought back desperately, but the time was too nearly gone for any more scor¬ ing. In the return game, however, Crown Point came through easily, winning by a score of 29-20. It was Crown Point’s game all the way this time, too, but with a nine point lead Chesterton couldn’t do any¬ thing about it in the last few min¬ utes this time. Register: Crown Point broke through with another win. This time the luck¬ less opponents was Brook, whose Coach is our own Coach’s pal. Crown Point’s passing and shoot¬ ing was up to par. Even with a special defense to think about all the time, Crown Point was too speedy for Brook. Register: Hebron was the next stop for the Crown Point boys. Although this game was no walkaway, Crown Point won easily by a score of 29-20. Hebron had a fast, hard-driving team, but Crown Point’s cool-head- edness and the fact that they made their own breaks was too much for Hebron. Register: C. P. H. S. Trims Lowell The old Red and White handed down a pair of real defeats to the | Lowell teams this year. Coach ! Church’s hard work on the boys | surely showed up in these two gam¬ es. Team plays, one after another, I were tried and a great share of them clicked, much to the joy of I Crown Point’s fans. In the first game at Crown Point, Crown Poini won 34-19. ! Down at Lowell it was an out and out swamp from the start. C. P. [leading 32-9 at the start of the fourth quarter. Lowell ran the score up to 14 and Crown Point tc 36, when the reserves went it Since Lowell was hot and the reserv¬ es weren’t warmed up, Lowell made two buckets in the last few min¬ utes. This made the score 36-18. Register: Catholic Central came to Crown Point intent to beating Crown Point to a frazzle. Crown Point’s habit of turning the tables when teams get that idea, came to force again, and the Bulldogs trimmed them 38-19. Bulletin: | Working against a tall, long arm- [ed defense, the Crown Point High School bowed to Hobart 26-25 at the Community gym. Hobart, who battled through the entire game, [trailed by one or two points. From the spectators view point, it was anybody’s game. In the return game, Hobart won | again. T|his time the score was 20-19. Register: Crown Point clicked again to de- Ifeat Rensselaer 26-19. Although [ the score was never dangerously [ close, excitement ran high when Rensselaer went on a scoring spree for a few minutes in the third quarter. Register: It took the Red and White to up¬ set the only team in Indiana which I had a clean slate and had won six¬ teen games. Griffith came over to add another to their string, but went home disappointed. The Church men outplayed them 21-19 The game, as a whole, was one of the best ever staged on the Com¬ munity gym floor. Register: In the last home game of the season, the Church men defeated Knox in nice style. Even though Knox overcame a great lead to tie the score, Collins, using his favorite shot under the basket, put the game on ice. Everyone considers the season a great success with eleven wins and nine losses. This is one of the best records the school has had for some time. J. Louis: Do you know the dif¬ ference between a taxi and a bus? V. Lane: No. J. Louis: Fine, we’ll take the bus. Duke Atkins: I would like a pre¬ paration of phenylisothicyariate. Drug Clerk: Do you mean must¬ ard oil? Duke Atkins: Yes. I can never think of that name. J. Kubal: This liniment makes my arm smart. D. Andernacht: Why don’t you put some on your head? Mr. Root: Well son, how did you make out in your history test? C. Root: Not so good. But what can you expect? They asked me a lot of things that took place before I was born. E. Purdy while rendering a les¬ son about ships, came to a word h» couldn’t pronounce. Barque”, prompted Mrs. Mc- Michael. Purdy giggled. “Barque”, repeated Mrs. McMich- ael. “Bow-wow,” said Purdy obedient¬ ly. Mr. Steeb: (After a long search for the hammer). Bill, do you know what I have done with the hammer? B. Steeb: Yes, Dad. Mr. Steeb. What then? B. Steeb: You’ve lost it.

Berg Harper Borchert Brown Hamilton Laben Hershman Klinefelter Christman Register: Crown Point journeyed down to Hillsboro to open the season and was defeated 30 to 12. Most of the team lacked experience under fire, but they showed that better things could be expected of them as the season progressed. Register: Vedersburg was the next stop. This time the boys won in an over¬ time 17-15. It was a hard, fast game all the way through and prov¬ ed the boys could endure a four quarter fight, along with their oth¬ er accomplishments. Register: The Hub men went down to Goodland for their third tilt of the season. The game was nip and tuck all the first half, but finally the Goodland’s team height began to tell. They started to score too fast for the C. P. H. S. boys to catch up -with them. Register: In the first home game of the sea¬ son, Crown Point High, who tangl¬ ed with the Froebel Blue Devils, all but nosed out a victory over the strong Gary team. Neither Froebel nor Crown Point had an advantage throughout the entire game. One or two points made up all the dif¬ ference in the score. Finally in the last few seconds, the Blue Devils put the game on ice with a long shot, making the score 26-24. The reserves also showed up well in this, their second game of the season.
