eye Qasfaeettaatii CAPT. RALPH MEYER CGoostieJ Meyers seldom came past the middle of the court for it was his duty to keep the opponents away from the basket, and it wasn't often that they were able to get a close shot. KENNETH WOLFE fKenol Guard. Wolfe made a good run- ninfr n'ate for Meyers and he did his bit in keeping them away from tzhe basket. Wolfe rrixed into the teanc play and helped work the ball down the court and his long shots featured many of our games. ALFRED TURNER CSlatsl Slats used his height to good ad- vantage and it enabled us to gain an early lead on our opponents. Slats n' issed several ganes on account of the 'flu' but the close of the season found him going at a good clip. NELSON YOST Center. We met many centers that were taller than Nelson, but few were better jumpers, and when it came to team work, Nelson ncet no superiors, and he was as strong at the finish as when he started. KENNETH WHEAT fForwardJ Wheat was the high scorer of the season and it made no difference to him whether it was to be a short or long shot, as he generally made it. Wheat played all over the floor and his defensive ability was noticeable in every game. Wheat also made the free tosses for us. DON KYLE LI-Zossl Forward. Kyle lacked confidence in his scoring ability but toward the close, he made the goals when they were badly needed. His speed enabled him to cover much floor space and his accurate passing was responsible for many baskets. JOHN YOST Johnny was a good passer and seemed to be a sure shot under the basket. He also managed to get a long shot now and then which had it's effect on the opposition. WM. DIXON tGuardl This was Bill's first year of basket ball and he improved with every garre. Few teanfs got a second shot at the basket for Bill generally got the rebound.

The first game was a defeat for Rush Center, but to even the score of the first game, La Crosse lost the next two games. After this, the team came out of the slump. The next seven games were easy victories for the La Crosse team and only until the second rreeting of Bison did La Crosse lose a scheduled game. All through the Western part of the state, La Crosse Highs were spoken of as the fastest team in western Kansas, and were doped to place high in the Western Kansas Tournament, only to have d-ope upset by the defeat Scott City handed us by the score of 21 to 20. , One of the featvre games of the VVestern Kansas Tournament was the Scott City-La Crosse game.
