Boys’ Basketball With only one experienced man left from last year’s team. Coach Lowry found at the beginning of the basketball season that he was facing a somewhat difficult task. Building a team from new material is not entirely an enviable job. However inexperienced the boys may have been, there was no denying that they had the proper spirit, which is an item of no small importance. The season’s curtain raiser was with Virginia City on January 11. The score was 24-20, Virginia taking home the honors. Our squad was somewhat deficient in cooperation. In the next game we lost to Elko here, by a score of 35-20. On January 24, the boys wrested a 27-19 victory from Lovelock. This game game gave us much satisfaction and considerable encouragement. On February 1, we won a decisive battle from Wells. The score was 21-7. The next game, Winnemucca versus Carlin, was played on February 7. Car Pi won in the last few minutes of play, after a heated contest. The score stood 21-16. Through a vagrancy of fortune we lost a 11-10 game to Battle Mountain on February 8. The following game, with Sparks High School, resulted in a 27-18 victory for the Rails. On their eastern trip, the boys played Carlin, Elko, and due to an epidemic of measles the Wells game was called off. We lost these two games 24-14 and 24-10 respectively. The next Wednesday we again went east to play Eureka for the right to attend the state tournament at Reno. We loss this encounter, 10-9. On the home floor they took a game from Battle Mounain. The score was close, 21-20. The season’s final game was with Lovelock. We are disposed to regard our 49-10 defeat as not a just indication of the respective abilities of the two teams. Compared with the brilliant accomplishments of last year’s team this season was not very successful as we were not represented in the State Tournament. However, we must be philosophical and not expect to produce a team of champs every year. C. B., '31. Page 28

Track With basketball fading into the past as spring came around, all attention of students was turned to track. After the Board of Education had kindly seen to the building of forty hurdles and the boys had removed the large cinders and hauled clay on the track, a call was sent out for aspirants by Coach Lowry. In response to this call more than 20 boys turned out to go through the paces of conditioning for the season. The first meet held was between the classes which the Seniors won with 9-1 points; Freshmen, 21 points; Sophs next, with 20 points, and Juniors last with no points. Other meets planned were with Lovelock, on April 19; Elko at Elko, on April 26; Eastern Nevada meet at Elko, May 3, and the State Meet in Reno on May 10. Outstanding men figured on to take places were Walts, Branting, Mullinx, last year's winners, and D. Bankofier and John Echave new men. Page 30
