One game had to be forfeited because of our playing an ineligible man. The m thical All Western Slope team was not picked out by the coaches this year. If they had made up the team, there is no doubt that the Tigers would have taken several of the places. The Tigers were considered by all the teams they played, even the champions, to be the strongest team on the slope. [Pago Eleven]

Two Western Slope championships were taken and t o seconds. The foothull season c 03ed finding the Tigers one place removed front the coveted championship. Sickness and Injuries during tin cnt'rc season proved a deciding handicap. More material reported for practice and a larger number stayed through the entire eason than ever before. The close of the basketball season saw the Tigers easy champions of this slope. The Tigers tried for state honors at Boulder, but were not very fortunate. Ti e Tigresses lost by a close margin the title of the valley to the Fruita sextette, who were defeated at the Western Slope meet by the Glen wood team, twice defeated by the Tigresses. The Glen wood team took the slope title. The track season was the best in years, the Tigers being the best physically and the best trained team on the slope. The Tigers were easy victors over the other contestants of tte slope in the Montrose meet. They also placed second in the state meet at Boulder, won the relay and broke a state record in the high jump. In baseball there is a good chance for a championship, if they make good on all the re=t of the conference games. [Page Ten]
