This proposition -provlded that the boy on the varsity with the highest percentage of foul shots hit was to win a trophy while the reserve member was to receive a key signifying his dis- tinction. AThe winners were to. have shot at least one foul for each game in which their particu- lar teams competed.

The Bronohs fell quick- ly to the wayside as the Norse started off in a rush to build up a 14 to 5 lead at the end of the first quarter. The Horsemen kept up the scoring assault in the second quarter as they outmatohed the black and gold team 8 to 5 by a score of 25 to ll. The Bronohs made their best ,s owing in the third, scoring 6 poin s to 3 for Eaton. In the final period Dalevllle again had an edge, but the Norse lead was to great to overcome. Coach Hall employed reserves a good portion of the ball game, rewett and Myers entering the game ln the second quarter and Dix, Kegerreis, and Blake playing much of the final period. It was evident that Eaton was not trying to run up the score. better firing average than did Daleville hitting 12 fleld goals ln 55 stabs while the Bronohs dropped in 9 from the field in 54 attempts.

Then the high flying Royerton Redbirds came out to aeet the purple and gold team ln a great'batt1e in the semi-final game of the Beo- tional Tourney, Saturday after- noon, February 24. Huffman started. raising the score first by contacting the net for 5 points with a fielder and foul toss. Roberts followed for' two points. He again threw a field basket on a follow-up but the officials ruled that Yes had previously fouled Huffman and the basket did not count for the Norse. With twelve seconds to go Rlebellng threw another basket but again the officials ruled that he had been fouled by Keller of Royerton and lt did not count. Rlebell g tossed the first of his free throws to make the score 33 to 31, Royerton. He sacrificed the other oharlty privilege by tossing the ball in from the side. Royerton was right there and stole the ball as the gun sounded to end the game with the score standing at 33 to 31. High point man of the game was Riebellng with 15 points while Bullock got 12 points for the winners. - The Norse were behind most of the way because of their inabili- ty to find the shooting range. The Norsemen's powers came to them only in the final stage of the game. The purple and gold clad boys fell behind 2 points at the end of the first stanza 7 to 5, and at the half 15 to 13. The Eaton lads seemed- to have lost their fighting spirit as the Red- birds were still ahead at the end o the third, 2? to 20. They banged away time after time throughout the first three per- iods, hitting the rim with prac- tloally every shot, but could not connect. Despite the fact that they couldn t hit the basket, the Norse had defense enough to en-1 able them to remain in contention until the last quarter. Suddenly coming to a fighting recovery with less than two minutes to go and trailing by 7 points, the Horsemen started some fireworks by firing away to tally 6 points. The Royerton squad hardly had time to .find their sense when Eaton ran up the score to trail only by 3 points. G.l5T. G.F.T.

INTEREST RAGE8 IN INTRAMURAL Harry received the ball, he drove down to the cornerjstopped pivoted and shot ---- no, he dldn't score, there was a foul on the play. Every noon this same story could be written about the ball games ln the gym. 'mere ls plenty of fight an .scrap with good clean playing at all times. , h On Monday, Wednesday, and Fri- day the seventh and eighth grade boys use the floor. There are 45 boys divided into six teams- therefore, they play once a week. During the first semester the eighth grade boys acted as cap- tain, but now the seventh grade has taken over. On Thursday the fifth and six- th grades play - ball. They have four teams. They are little boys but they are mighty. Cn Tuesday the second team re- serves and freshman boys play. These Tuesday games develop into heated battles at times. Not only do we use the boys in play but also as officials. High School boys work all the games. The value 'ofa team play is learned and it serves as s fonn of entertainment for the students .at noon. ' ' Nr.

On fh0 Senior squad we see two new faces Walters and Thomas, besides the five other Seniors-Roberts, Rie- benng, mx, make, and xeserraia who have played on the Norsemen varsity. Coaching the Seniors we see a tall, lanky young fellow, and find that he too is a member of the Senior Class and goes by the name of Hedsker. h ' s As we look over the Freshmen we are not surprised to see all their players from the second team squad.

The whistle blows, the ball is tipped into the air and the Sen- iors take the ball, Rearlok comes through stealing the ball and scores for the Freshmen. Later, Barlow hits a charity shot to put the Freshmen in the lead, 3 to 0. However, this lead is 'short- llved' as the Seniors roll ln 15 points by the end of the first period of play making the score 15 to 5. The height of these tall sturdy Seniors is to a great handicap for these young Fresh- men. s It is now the half and the score is ,23 to 8. The reserves of both teams are practice shoot- ing. Out of a world from some- where, some Seniors girls eome marching onto the floor and are singing cheer songs for their Senlor Classmates as they march around the floor. Down at the East end of the floor where the Freshmen fans are sitting, one can see banners wav- lgg with such slogans as 'ON T0 T FINALS, FRESI-MEN !' The game is again under way! The Freshmen have been almost eliminated from the game as the Seniors have held them scoreless throughout this quarter. The whistle blowing and with the final score of 38 to 14, the Sen- iors are proudly running off the floor. 1 Roberts led the scoring for the Seniors with ll points while Powell earned 5 for the losers.
