BOYS’ SPORTS — (Continued) Blue Line Cab, trouncing them by the score of 20 to 0. Captain Thurman led the Lincoln charges as Captain. Lincoln’s next game was with the highly touted K. V. S. Ramblers. K. V. S. defeated them by the score of 24 to 7. Liberty was next on the schedule, featured by the line driving of Thurman, Kirkendoll, and the kicking of Dillard. Lincoln won by the score of 20 to 0. Due to the fact that the weather was bad most of the season, the Tigers had to cancel most of its games. The next game was with the Alumni. Lincoln was held to a lone touchdown by these hardy ex-Lincolnites and after much fighting, were downed by the close margin of 7 to 6. Again stellar performances were made by Thurman, Hill, Harris, and Dillard. The Annual Turkey Day Classic was Sumner versus Lincoln. The game was a tough, hard-fought one all the way. When the game was yet young, Dil- lard reeled off 55 yards. Thurman again played his usual style. After many suc- cessful line plunges Lincoln made a touchdown by Hill. In the third quarter Sum- ner made several spectacular passes which netted them a touchdown which tied the score. The gun sounded with Lincoln far in the territory of Sumner and the score tied for the second successive year. Ezekiel Thurman was voted all-state quarterback and Captain of the all-state eleven. Hill, Jones, and Llolland placed on the second team. March 16 marked the official opening of the track season. Many boys an- swered the call of the cinder path. Among the Seniors answering the call of track for the last time for dear old Lincoln were W. Moore, Earl Hogan, and E. Thurman. Quentin Williams. BASKETBALL On December 1st Coach Mason issued the first call for basketball. Twenty- four boys responded, but only a few of this number were accepted. The team this year was considered better than last year’s team, which won second place at the State Tournament. Among the Senior letter men represented in this sport are, Ezekiel Thurman, Arnell Burnett, Quentin Williams, Willard Moore, Earl Ho- gan, and Adolphus Mooney. After a continuous practice throughout December, the team had taken shape, and the initial game of the season was played with the Sedalia Cagers. Lincoln was the stronger of these two teams and therefore emerged victorious over their weaker foes by a safe margin. Filled with hope after a good start, the Tigers won a hard-fought victory over Kansas Vocational School at Topeka. They were de- feated in their third start by the Sumner Spartans off their home court. The Tigers proceeded to St. Joseph and defeated them by a score of 34 to 27. After these victories the Tigers met defeat six times in a row. All of these games were lost by a close margin of 1 to 3 points. With plenty of fighting spirit left the Tigers practiced hard for the biggest home-coming game of the season with the highly touted Sumner Spartans of Kansas. The Spartans had defeated Lincoln in a previous engagement. At the half the score was 16-6 in favor of the Tigers. At the beginning of the half until the sounding of the gun the Tigers were gradually pulling away and at the end of the game the Tigers were ahead by the score of 44-10. This Was the worst defeat the Spartans had suffered in eight years at the hands of the Tigers. After beating Sumner the Tigers closed the season with a well earned victory over Jefferson City High.
