BASKE TEAM Last fall the outlook for the basketball season was very dark. As with baseball, we were unable to use the school buses. It was decided, however, to cancel all scheduled games and then play when and where we were able to do so. Eldon Marquis, now training for Naval Aviation, was to be our coach. We lost nFerdn to the Navy shortly after the Christmas holidays. Our original coach, Mr. Vance, had gone to Imlay City, Michigan, for a better job earlier in the year. We started basketball with Mr. Vance as coach in intramural games, carried on into four games of the season with F'erd , and finished up with Mr. Moore our principal, on the sidelines. The team showed up well in the County Tournament de- feating Danforth in the first game of the tournament by a score of 40 to 15. Anderson was high scorer with 16 points and Tunks got 10. The next game against Chebanse was a very good game. Chebanse had defeated us before and beat us afterward but lost to us 37 to 51 in tournament play. Donovan never drew ahead more than six points throughout the game, and often had less to spare. In the third game, Onarga defeated us 51 to 24. Due to the fact that we play ed an extra game, we won two but still didn't reach the semi-finals. The tournament was held in Milford. Not much can be said of next year, but if there is still such a thing as interscholastic-sports competition, Andy, Ez, Buzz, Keath, Hilgendorf, and LeSage will be on deck. The District tournament held in Crescent City engaged us only one game. Ash-Clif beat us 50 to 58. They seemed to be our Jinx. They won a total of three games from us during the year. D
