The Little Red Devils were defeated by Economy forty-one to eighteen, with Gene Himelick hitting nine for Losant, closely followed by John Paul Golliher with five. On January the sixth, we were trampled by the Center Spartans. After the final basket had been made, the score read fifty-two to twenty-eight in favor of Center. Freeman and Lester were high for Losant, collecting eight and nine points respectively, while Warner was high for the Spartans, closely followed by Johnson, Lacy, Conwell, and Windmiller. The Second team was beaten thirty-four to seventeen. AT LAST MODOC AND VICTORY! On Friday the thirteenth, we won our first game of the year against our old rivals, the Modoc Indians. We led at all the stopping places with the exception of the first quarter. Losant used only six men in this game, all' six men breaking into the scoring column to give the Modoc quintet the bad luck horseshoe. Dean Lester was high, collecting fifteen points, followed by Himelick with nine, Holaday with six, Freeman with five, Petro with four, and Trinder with one. This was the Devils best game of the year, with the ending score forty to thirty-five in favor of Losant. Bertram managed to rack up thirteen points for Modoc, closely followed by Bennett with twelve. The Losant Seconds lost their game by a sixteen to twenty-three count. Bruce and Dean acting as doggers, intercepted several passes, turned them into fast breaks, and scored easily. In the county tourney, which was played the week of January sixteenth at Farmland, we drew Farmland and were beaten sixty-nine to thirty-six. Dean Lester kept us in the running collecting a total of twenty-one points. On January twenty-fifth we played Jackson and came home defeated thirty-eight to sixty. Lester and Himelick were high with fourteen and ten points respectively. The Little Devils also were beaten by a thirty-six to twenty count. February the third, we played the Lincoln Wolves. This game we played our worst brand of basketball of the year. Everybody was cold and we were defeated twenty-five to eighteen. Freeman and Himelick were high for Losant, while Cox was high man for Lincoln. This next game was a heartbreaker. We lost to Wayne thirty-five to thirty-eight. The score was tied at eighteen all at the half. The Devils showed more fight in-this game than had been shown in quite a while. Dean Lester led the Devils with seven field baskets and six free throws, making a total of twenty points. Bruce Petro -played a whale of a defensive game, holding one of Wayne's high scores, Torres, to a mini- mum score. The Little Devils led by Smith with nine points, lost thirty-seven to twenty We were victim to an old long due revenge in our last game of the schedule with Huntsville. Four years ago the Losantville Red Devils walked all over the Huntsville Redmen by beating them ninty-two to eighteen. Well this year was the first time Huntsville has been able to beat us since. We were plenty cold and they took advantage of it. The final score was seventy-eight to twenty. Lester high with seven points. Wiggins and Pangborn were next with four and five points respectively. Mike, playing both second and first team games played his best game of the year that night. The second team lost their game thirty-one to twenty-one. Deady broke into the first team scoring column with two points on that gloomy night. We drew Union City in the sectional but due to the dead-line of the printer's of this annual we cannot give you the results of this game. z6
