BASKET BALL GOSSIP NVhile recalling the 1923 basket ball season at Lompoc High, wc ean't boast of victories won so far as the score is concerned, yet the basket ball season proved very successful from many angles. From thc stand point of courtesy to officials illlll opponents, also clean, fair play, the basket ball squad that rep- resented the high school this year indeed staged real victories. Last and most important of all, the boys are as clean a bunch of fellows as can be found in any school in the country. In conclusion, the prospects for next year are very bright and there is no occasion for hanging crepe on your forehead when wondering what Lompoc's chances for a championship team are for next year. VVith all five letter men, a11d a good crowd of recruits, back next year, every thing looks mighty good for the future. -L. KidmanfBasket Ball Coach. 29

The First Team ECHGES OF BASKET BALL Girls'llasket Ball started off with a whizz and a bang this season. There was a good deal of competition for first team, and in the final tryout it was difficult to select the best six. Not a game was lost, which proves that our teams, both first and second, are superior in many things, especially in team work and fair play. Let us glance atythe most important factor of a game, which is sports- manship. By a girl true sportsmanship is valued highly. It is harder for her to learn this thing than it is for a boy, because what a boy learns in all his games, a girl must learn largely in basket ball alone. In the case of this seasons games, sportsmanship emerged victorious. This is true not only of our teams but of our opponents' also. The 1923 teams played each game fairly and squarely. They excelled mostly in team workfa unison that teaches quickness, self-control, agility and good judgement. There was not a hint of a hesitation in any play. The girls outplaycd their opponents from every point of view. Much credit is due Audrey Isom. She made forward with two weeks' practice, and became the star goal of the county. Evelyn Arkley always was a shark at forward, and probably always will be. You certainly have to take off your hats to our centers, Ceeilie Glidden and Ethel Upton. They simply monopolize eenterg their sway was held undisputed throughout the season's games. Lueile liratis is fast as lightnug, and Irene Lewis is flll old one at the game. so the two combined put a hoodoo on their opponents' forwards. Prospects are good for nevt year, too, although, much to our regret, we lose our two forwards. The rest of the team are good for another round and we hope that that round is as successful as this years'.. Good luelr to the team of '24, Illay your success be unlimifwl. flrene Lewis 'Q-L 30
