Basketball practice was called December first by Coach Anderson, and around 40 boys reported. Only two regulars were back from last year's team, so some positions had to be filled with new material. Many promising boys were found among the prospects, but lack of experience account- ed for only a fair season. The high light was the 25 to 14 victory over Carson City—the only defeat handed them in the county race. Our opponents averaged 25 points per game while we av- eraged 22, giving indication that all games were even and hard fought. Donald Stevens was the offensive star of the season, scoring 116 points, while Captain Rasmussen sparked the team on defense.

The fall of 1939 found the girls, last year's champions, eager to get out there and win as they did a year ago. Mrs. Switzer, their very capable coach, who has worked with many champion teams be- fore, drilled and groomed the girls for the coming season. The result was, as could be expected, the winning of the championship—Helena Fitzner was the high scorer of the year. The girls have made the splendid record of losing only six games in four years. The forwards of this year's team were: Helena Fitzner, Eris Abbey, Jeanette Petersen, Erma Kappe, Pearl Welsh, Reta Rasmussen, and Scharleen Baker, the guards: Hazel Sherman, Burnadean Houghton, Margaret Manley, Erma Kappe, Grace Carr, Mary Lee Saxton, and Phyllis Nielsen.

The Second team basketball squad, comprised mostly of Freshmen and Sophomores, turned in a very good record in spite of the lack of experience. The aim of a reserve basketball team is to give experience to new men and lay a foundation for a better first team. Some of the team members improved so rapidly that they were promoted to the first team and did creditable work for the remainder of the season. The boys worked hard, had plenty of fight, and looked good in games in which they were defeated. Another year should see many of these boys playing on the first team.
