.f Linwood Haskins John Parnell Dale Arbuckle. Linwood Haskins. Bus is the only freshman on the team and that class may well be proud of their representative. He played floor guard, but was shifted to forward occasionally when necessary. His agility and general court ability made him valuable to the team work of the quintet. We expect to hear great things from him during his next three years with the team. John Parnell. After much competition, Red succeeded in securing the berth as defensive guard. His playing as a defensive man improved with the season's experi- ence to such an extent that he was mentioned as one of the best defensive guards in this section of the state, as demonstrated thoroly in the Phillips Tournament. He will be with us another year. Dale Arbuckle, Captain. Fatty came to us from last year's team, and brought with him that perpetual smile which has made him a favorite not only to Enid students, but to officials and opponents on the court as well. He was a clean sportsman, a hard player, and an excellent court man, a tireless leader of his team. Arbuckle was se- lected on the all-state second team and next year it will be hard to keep him off of the first team. He made an excellent record in free throws as well as field goals and led the team in points scored.

Phillips Seventh Annual Basketball Invitation Tournament Trophy was won by the Enid team, after severe competition with thirty-two other high school teams from various parts of the state. The Enid quintet was one of the very few teams whose personnel was practically entirely new, consequently our chance of winning the trophy was small. In winning the trophy the E. H. S. Basketeers beat some of the strongest teams in the state. Five games were played in four days, in the following order: Hitchcock, Kremlin, Marlow, Hunter, and Blackwell. The game with Blackwell in the finals was by far the most exciting of the whole tournament. The Blackwell team came with almost a clear record for the season and were the favorites of the tournament. They had experienced players, much larger than the Enid players, but the Enid team took the court with a determination to play the best game of the season, and succeeded in amassing a ten point lead over Blackwell during the first half. The opponents were unable ever to overcome this lead and the game ended with the score 25-24, thereby giving Enid the beautiful loving cup. Enid High School may well be proud of her team, who,without previous experience, entered against such strong opponents and carried away the honors of the Phillips tournament.

Adolph Krauss Clarence Snoddy Louis Williams. Adolph Krauss was a new man, but his speed on the court made him one of Enid s most valuable basketeers. He held the position as left forward, and by his clever court work and dribbling was a dangerous man for Enid's opponent. Adolph is only a sopho- more this year, and is expected to help win laurels for Enid for two more years. Clarence Snoddy played in only nine games, but his ability was of such calibre that he continually threatened to beat someone out of a place on the team. He was able to replace anyone of the regular five on the court with no apparent difference! In the team work as a whole, Snoddy will be numbered among the live members who re- turn next year. Louis Williams, another first year player for Enid, held down the pivot position with good success. Lanky led the team in field goals tossed and was second in points scored. He may be young, but his six feet three inches made him a center to be reck- oned with by opponents. His ability at the toss up enabled our men, at the very begin- ning of the game, to put into motion better team work than most of their opponents. Louis will be with us another year.
