This is one of the best records ever turned in by a Devil Quint. The Devils entered the sub-district tour- nament at John Day, and were favored to fight it out with John Day and Prairie City for the championship, but were upset and eliminated in their third tilt by an underdog team from Crane, whom they had previously defeated by a score of 50-29. The potent Dayville squad defeated all opponents in league play ex- cept Mitchell who succeeded in seeking out a 56-52 overtime victory on our floor the first of the season. We later avenged this by trouncing the Loggers 51-28 on their home floor and then soundly walloped them 45-20 in the tournament.

The following Monday night the Devils a- gain were knocked off in the last minute by a score of 50-28. The game was close all the way but the Panther Quint's height advantage finally proved to be the deciding factor.
