Erwin built up a fine offensive and de- fensive team upon the firm foundation left by Coach Joe Bronson of last season. 1n the regional tournament at Osage City the Highland Scotties came through in their first encounter by defeating the strong Ottawa quintet in a thrilling Mlast second basket. The final score was 31 to 32. The team dropped their second en- counter to the strong Emporia quintet. Although losing four starting lettermen the Scotties look forward to a successful and colorful 1936-37 season. A great part of this cheerful outlook is based upon the fact that Mr. Friend developed a sturdy, fighting, and very faithful second team string-which should supply lots of good timber in the near future. 21
