$35=« + WINNADA + Basketball fl A T the close of the football season Coach Lowry called a meeting of all basketball aspirants and succeeded in getting a large turn- out. After a few weeks of practice a number of men were selected to represent A” squad, Coach Flanders taking the rest into the B” squad. After two months of hard practice we met Lovelock on the home floor and defeated them to the tune of 19 to 8. This was a good game and was thoroughly enjoyed. On the following week-end we invaded the eastern part of the zone to play Carlin and Elko. The Carlin game was rather ragged and due to over-confidence we came out on the small end of a 31 to 23 score. On the following night the boys proved their ability by defeating Elko by a 24 to 13 score. On January 30, we took a trip to Lovelock and were taken into camp in the last few minutes of play to a score of 20 to 15; on the home floor we redeemed ourselves by a defeat to Carlin of 58 to 21. On February 3, the Battle Mountain lads came down and were easily taken by the reserves by a score of 38 to 8. Our territory was invaded the following week by Sparks but they found us waiting for them and went home with a 3 5 to 18 defeat on their hands. On February 13, we took Elko over by a 33 to 13 score. On February 19 and 20 the boys traveled westward and played Reno and Sparks, respectively, losing in Reno, 23 to 17, and winning in Sparks, 26 to 21. The following week-end Reno paid us a visit and defeated us again, 28 to 31. This was a good game and the fans enjoyed it. On March 4 and 5 we went to Elko to participate in the District Tournament in order to determine the entries for the State meet as well as the zone championship. We defeated Montello, 57 to 4, and Carlin, 42 to 30, on March 4, which put us into the finals with Wells. On the following night we defeated Wells, 23 to 10, making our entry certain as well as zone champions. We received a nice trophy for our efforts. COACH LOWRY ■: f- E 11 11 On the 10th of March we took a trip down to Reno to try our luck at winning state honors. On this day we defeated Virginia City, 21 to 15, but on the following night we were defeated in a bad game by Tonopah, 20 to 8, which put us out of the running and ended our season of basketball. Well, better luck next time. —E. M. Page 29

Thirteen games were scheduled, but one with the Elko B” team was forfeited by Elko. The midgets were coached by Mr. Flanders. Several promising players were developed who will probably fill the gaps in the first squad next year. Two trips were taken by the midgets. The first one to Lovelock where we were defeated, 15-16. On the Elko trip we emerged victorious over the Industrial School, 3 5-18. The other ten games were played at home. We defeated Lovelock, 20-17, and were in turn defeated by the town team, 27-7. We emerged victorious in the eight games played against the local grammar school. —M. W., 32. Page 31
