By putting on a whirlwind finish, lead by Ralph Klopfenstein, this lead diminished to one point with five seconds remaining to play. Here again Ralph Klopfenstein snatched the ball away from an opponent and the resulting basket won the game for Gridley, 45-42. The remaining two contests were played against an Elpaso team that had been weakned by sickness. A11 of the teams were wel? coached and played Wtop notehu ball in each conference contest.

His rebounding was his shining quality. Although this was his first season on the first five he played like a veteran. Kenneth Roth, who stars on the ball diamond and in Track was the other senior on the first ten. Although he did not get into many games he played a great part in the development of the team. Ralph Klopfenstein, our high scoring forward, proved that he was among the best in these parts, by taking advan- tage of every break of the game to score points for Gridley.
