3 '1' H E E P O C H THE TOURNAMENT When the sectional tourney came along the Tiger crew, a production of Coach Phares, was hitting a stride far better than when they opened the season at Upland, November 10. The fundamentals had been drilled to ultimate perfection, and the spirit was running high, along with com- petition, to see who would be the eight men who would represent The Old Maroon and White at Marion. To our satisfaction we drew Matthews, playing them Friday night. The winner of this fracas was to meet Marion fthe highly taunted Taube Terrorsb, who expected to meet a worn out team like they played January 11. But to their surprise, they met a determined bunch of TIGERS- true in name who had gone through the season with flying colors. The Giants had things their own way the first period of the game. The score at the half was 21 to 10 in Marion's favor. The TIGERS, with that never ending fight, came back in the last half and scored 7 points while the so- called Giants scored only 3. The TIGERS never at any time showed signs of giving up, and went down to an honorable defeat, to the score of 24 to 17.
