Clnci- dentally, she hasn't received the coke yet.I NORSEMEN SPORTS ACTIVITIES EATON BLACKSOUT On Friday, 'December 16 Eaton basketball squad the ice and snow in order to to Redkey to play a game with the wolves. It was a rough and hard played game as well as s fast one as the Eaton crew tangled with the Red- key five. However, the Norse brought home a victory with the score standing at 55 to 26. The wolves willing but inept performers were unable to keep up the pace with the Norse as they were behind at the close of the half 17 to 15. From this point the Wolves gradually gained and came within one point of' the Norsemen. Then the Norse broke loose and ran the score up 15 points and Redkey never was able to threaten seriously again. . There was much fouling! Red- key had three men with four fouls and Eaton had four men with four fouls when the game finished. Our second team squad lost to the Redkey 'B' team 19 to 14. G F.T.

A h The Norsemen got away to an early lead with Huffman starting the leather pouring through the hooks to gain a reward of 9 to 4 at the close of the first period. Eaton had the better of it through the continuation of the g8.lI1eo Coach Hall, by continually substituting, employed reserves after the first quarter to give all players a chance in the scor- ing. It was a smoothly-played game with no one going out of the game via the personal foul route. The Spartans were mediocre in fast and shlfty plays in comparison to their 45-44 squad and were unable to put the anchor on the Norsemen who sailed calmly through the af- fair. Monroe got 14 points for the host club, Dave Riebellng scored 11 and Lewellen 10 for the win- ners. Seven Eaton players broke into the scoring. The second team game was won by Center 24 to 19.

-In A EATON AGAIN EMEHGES AS WINNER A throng of more than 5,000, one of the largest in Co. Tourney history, witnessed the opening game of the annual affair as the Eaton Norsemen sailed down the victory steam when they once again did away with the Center Spartans. The Spartans kept up their noted tradition of always being at their best in a tournament as the Norsemen had quite a time in gaining control of the purple and white team. The Spartans had a habit of coming back every time the Eaton lads built up a sizable lead and kept up this practice until late in the game. They started strong- ly and at the end of the first period looked their best as they battled the Norsemen on even terms at 5 all. From there on, the Norse led at all stopping points, 18 to 12 at the half and 54 to 22 at the end of the third when they staged a twelve-point lead which the Spartans were not able to destroy. Honorable work was done by Reibeling as he scored 10 points fh the last half. Huffman and Smoot also proved valuable since each scored 8 markers. Prewett enabled the Norse to get their offense into working order as he came into the game in the second period. He immediate scored two baskets and added another fielder and two fouls in the final half for 8 points.' Long range shooting done by Monroe for his Spartan team proved to be of great yalue to them since he scored 22 of his team's 52 points. He was the only Center player who was able to shoot regularly over the tall Eaton aerensegg V G F T. ' G F.T.

Tournament the Eaton Norsemen were bumped off by the Selma Bluebirds 52 to 25. It was a harum-sacrum contest as both teams displayed skill ing I 4 hcndling the bell and were adept at defensive action. Selma pos- sessed the better basket eye as the Norsemen Seemed unable to fhw the target amid their long shoot- ing ranges. It was tight through the first three periods although Selma held the lead 5 to 2 at the end of the first stanza and 18 to 9 at the half. The Norse outscored the Bluebirds in a determined third quarter surge by narrowing the count to 20 to 17 at the end of that period. At this point the Bluebirds became shaky in the face of the Eaton drive. Scott led a Selma rally that was launched with the opening of- the final period and the Blue- birds scored 7 points in two minutes and at the same time they held the Norsemen scoreless to take an ll-point lead. That was about the end of it, although the purple and gold gang came back again near the end of the game through the efforts of Roberts who tossed three field baskets in the closing minutes. B. Boggs led the winners with 10 points. Roberts, Reibeling, Smoot, Lewellen, and Huffman all played good ball as a unit for the Eaton squad. Roberts scored 9 points on four field baskets and B foul. This was the best-played game of the tournament with skillful actions displayed by both teams. G F T G F T Chalfant Reibeling Sheward Lewellen P. Boggs Prewett Madlll Roberts B.

This defeat adds up to the Cardinals 55th loss in a row as they were again wiped off the basketball maps ' It was strictly purple and gold all the way through. The Norse jumbed all over the Harri- son boys starting with a 15 to 4 lead in the, first quarter and ending the session with the tab- ulation of 54 to 21. It was merely basket practice for the Norsemen squad as they easily steered their way under the basket for 'lay-ups.' They allowed the Cardinals to receive no more than 7 points ln any quarter. I I The Eaton seconds again came to life as they bagged their game also with the Freshman team fin- ishing up the affair and doing a good job. G.F.T. G.F.T.
