BASKETBALL After the close of the football season the boys remained idle until after the Christmass holidays when training began for the basketball squad. As the team took shape, the boys were judged as short (in stature) but fast in work. The seniors represented in this sport were: James White, James Miller, Owens Hammonds, William Alexander, Edward Tivis, Russell Saunders, Albert Rowan, Lonnie Starr, John Shoats and Marshall McKinney. After leaping over the first obstacles placed in their path the Tigers were on their way to fame. The team ventured to Sedalia and beat them on their own court. Lo and behold, the squad went to the ' ' University City” and after being defeated by the Vashon Eleven for the honor of being state champions captured second honors with ease. The trophies won now rests in the showcase in the L. H. S. hall and our pride in the team is inexpressible. With the tournament ended, curtains fell upon the sport of basketball. The close of the basketball season saw sports-minded boys loitering in the locker-room dis- cussing their desires and intentions to enter the cinder path. The lads began training a trifle late but a good team was predicted.
