BASKET BALL. Basket ball became the paramount issue after the close of the football season. W. C. Washburne permitted the use of the rink as a hall. A good crowd was there on every practice night and both a boys and a girls' team were organized. XVilliam Per- man was Chosen captain of the former. The following players were finally selected to represent our high school: . Perman ................................. RGL ...................................... hitler Moorhead ................................. C ............................................................. Thom tMng .................. RFL ........................................... Hays SubSeTracer and Harpole. Ciottage Grove, 32; J. C. H. S., 8. The opening game was played at this place on the night of; December 16th, with the Cottage Grove High School. Our team did as well as could be expected since they were playing against a team. that had played together several years and all the players were seasoned to the game. Perman was the clever one for Junction while Lewis of Cot- tage Grove was a shark when it came to throwing baskets. Patterson Athletic Club, 23; J. C. H. S., 16. On December 23rd the Patterson Athletic Club of Eugene, played a game against our second team and succeeded in defeat- ing them in a hard fought game, by the score of 23 to 16. The first half was all in favor of the visitors, but in the sec- ond half the score evened to a great extent, several baskets be- ing thrown by Thompson and Harpole. The Athletic Club team was composed of clever players, two Eugene High players being among them, but our boys showed them a good game, and, if the time had continued much longer, the score would have been reversed. Creswell H. S., 10; J. C. H. S., 43. On January 13th, the Creswell High School brought down their quintette and played us a good game, but were defeated by the above score. The game was really not so one-suled as the score wOuld indicate; the reason for the Creswell boys, defeat being mfainly their inexperience, also they were unused to play- ing in a hall so large as ours. . . They brought a large crowd of their co-ed fans w1th them and they certainly knew how to root. They were entertamed at the high school after the game. Creswell H. S., 12; J. C. H. S., 22. + The return game was. played at Creswell on January 28.11. The garnet and lemon wearers again being v1ctor1ous. The felir- inine fans of that place were again there strong on the rootmg.
