Hoopsters ' By Dominic Rocchio With a small scrappy team, Hibbing went through what has been called an unsuccessful season. Although light and small the Blue Jack- ets, however, had little difhculty in chalking up their share of victories. Hibbingis first two victims were Grand Rapids and Cloquet. Buhl handed the Blue Jackets their first defeat by winning a very hard- fought game, 20 to 8. The locals then started their victory march, overwhelming Deer River, Keewatin, Grand Rapids, and their arch- rival, Chisholm. In the next game Virginia took an early lead for a 23-19 victory over our team The loss of Red Fiori and L. Simonich in the second semester, because of the eight- semester ruling, was a great blow to our team. Bemidji was the first team to take advantage of this handicap and edged out Hibbing 26 to 25. The Blue Jackets showed that they were still strong by defeating Nashwauk. Duluth Central and Virginia both proved to be too much for the locals. The Blue jackets then defeated an improved Chisholm five. Buhl won from the locals, 21 to 20, which ended the schedule. In the tournament, Hibbing breezed through a victory over Big Fork, but in the semi-finals Coleraine enjoyed a 40-25 victory. Hibbing lost to Grand Rapids in the consolation tilt. The high school UB team and the Lincoln team played a number of games with other teams during the season, and climaxed it with a game between each other, which ended in favor of che Lincolnites. These - A f Q . ...se boys will be the material for the high school team in coming years. A basketball jamboree was held in March. Final games of a city- wide tournament were played. 36S boys played basketball in Coach Gelein's program in the grades and in the freshman and sophomore classes. A decided im- provement in the play and inter- est in basketball was shown this year and a strong effort will be made to run a similar program every year. .

After brilliant and ex- ceedingly fine play- ing with the senior and sophomore bas- ketball teams, the juniors finally edged through. The vic- torious senior team, led by Alfa Davidson, defeated their senior opponents easily. Ann Skalsky's Winning juniors ran up against stiff competition in their first game against Katie Kolar's team. In the sopho- more class Jean Watson led her sextet to victory. Rita Tomassoni had a Well-chosen team of freshies. About 150 girls participated in the tour- nament which was supervised bv Miss Thibodeau and Miss Sonaglio. Many enthusiastic spectators attended the games. Basketball has many advantages over other games. It is excellent not only for the physical exercise it gives, but also for the vigorous mental training,as it calls for concentration, quickness of perception and thought, and the team work which is so valuable a feature of all group activities. 12 llnlck row: Kronnmn, Skgil- Ifronr row: Paciotii, Geom- Back row: Goldborg, Vicri- Front row: Vfatson, Rom- Back row: Wgilitiw, Mac- Laughlin,Marcucci,l'irown, Front row: Bclucci, Portc- ous, Tonmssoni, Krcis,
