June ..THE ORANGE AND BLACK.. 1932 SCRIBBLINGS FROM NATIONAL TOURNEYS ANKIN, North Dakota Consolidated Hlgh School League champs ln 1930, because of a high class reputation, were forced to play such qulntets as the University of North Dakota Freshmen and the Grand Forks MY. To play the latter game, the Lan- kln live had to take a bobsled across country in the mlddle of a blizzard that had stopped train service. - - . 1 - In one fo t.he games played by Lankln ln 1929-30, the score was 80-G, Herman Wlta- sek, star forward of the North Dakota cham- pions, looping 27 baskets. The sharpshootlng Witasek scored 197 fleld goals that season, and the team total was 672 points to their opponents' 140, ln 14 games. - - - - - Chinook, Montana, captured its flrst state championship ln 1929. after wlnn ing 30 stralght games during the regular season, scoring 1120 points to 404. That's a winning margin of 37-16 for each game. 3 . . . a Kavanaugh, Kentucky champs ln 1929, were sent to the national tourney by the peo- ple of the state, who annually have contrib- uted to a fund to pay rallroad fare of the state champlon, vt 1 0 I I St. Mary's High of Iowa City 119301 had only 17 boys in the school, and half of them were sent to Chicago for the tournament. St. Mary's has no gymnasium, practlclng in a dlntng room ln the school. which has no baskets. Once a week they shoot baskets at the Iowa City Hlgh School gym. Red Scallcn of Franklin High, Eugene, Ore., twhere Coach Spears coached his Ore- gon U grl dteami holds the individual scoring record with a total of 38 points, aggregated from 13 baskets and four free throws. Scallon made this record in 1925, when his team won from Fort Smith, 45-16. He dld not play the entire game. ls-una. The greatest aggregate score ln the history of the tournament was 85 points, made in 1925, when Westport High of Kansas City defeated Springfield, Ohio, 50-35. 1 - . . . And the largest wlnnlng margin was the 71 to 9 victory of Lincoln, Nebraska, over Alpine, Tenn., in 1927. a 1 1 - Q Athens lTexasJ made only one foul in the 1928-29 tourney ln the championship tussle against Classen High, and fouls on t.he Okla- homa team decided the game, for the held goals were even. Ashland tKentuckyJ, the previous year, did not make a foul ln defeat- lng Canton, Ill., and fouls decided that championship, for Canton scored one more bucket than did the Kentucky quintet. n Q Q -f 1 Kansas City, Kans., 1923 champs, holds the record for tournament high scoring, making 197 points for an average of 39 2X5 points per game. s s . n . Three states have won the national title twice: Illinois won ln 1917, when Evanston captured the meet, and agaln ln 1927, when Morton High lf Cicero was the winner, Ken- Sz SPORTRAITS Q T WAS the mst game of the season, and although it was only a practice contest, e Orange and Black grldsters were excited at the thought of' going out of town. At last the bus arrived at Edgerton and before long lt was time for the game. During the first half the Central men ran away with the small town boys, but soon after the second half began, it was noticed that the stock halfback was continually mlx- ing the Signals, In the huddle the captain inquired lf he was feeling all right and the halfback replied that he was O. K. The game continued, and although the signals were scrambled more than once, the boys were silent, not wishing to offend the little half- back. At last the gun went off, and as the boys started off for the showers, the, gritty halfback toppled over. It was found that he had been kicked pretty hard ln the head, and that his front teeth were broken badly. He was taken to the hospital and remained there ovemight, but he returned home the next day. As a result of that one contest, the boy will have to wear artificial teeth the rest of 'nls llfe. That's drama all right, lsn't lt? a r. . . l He trotted out from the locker room a .eh 1 1- small determined figure, a little late for practice, but eager to get into the scrim- mage and do his stuff. He was put in on the next playg the ball snapped back, and the llne rushed forward ..... all except the small figure at left end. He lay on the ground motionless and still. As the coach rushed up and bent over the suffering player, he looked up and murmured, I guess my ankle's broken, Coach. Those were the only words out of the plucky fellow, as he was carried off the held to a car. Just before the car started to the hospital, the boys heard the coach say, He'll get his 'M' although he can't play any more this season. This was one of the scenes of Central's sport drama enacted. - gl Q Q 1 The coach had sald that he could go into the game, and the' restless player squlrmed on the bench whlle he was given mstruztions. Finally, he was allowed to report at the scorekeeper's table and to start playing. This was his first season of basketball and he was rather nervous at llrst, especially since he was playing against the mighty Racine Park aggregation. As the game went along the player warmed up and was getting along fairly well. At last his chance came . . . he ,E 18 J- tucky's Blue Devils from Lexington won ln 1922, and Ashland repeatde in 1928, Kansas counted twice, with the vlctory of Kansas City ln 1923, and that of Wichita in 1925. asses Jena, Louisiana champs ln 1930, and who went into the quarter-finals ln both the 1929 and 1930 national scraps has no gymnasium.

M., squad when enroute by automobile to the tourney ln 1930, stopped 20 mlles outside of Chicago, and telephoned for a police escort for the rest of the dis- tance. Mayor Thompson nobly responded with flve motorcycle cops, It seems the boys had heard and read about the Smoky City's pineapple throwers, and they all came armed with six-shooters. r . s 3 0 Savannah, Ga., won the Georgia Inter- scholastlc Athletic Association tourney, scor- ing a 77-40 victory ln the final game. susan Wisconsin has had a total of nlne entrants In the Stagg tourney in lts 12 years of run nlng. They are as follows: Township H. S., Wittenberg . 1917 St. John's Academy, Delarleld . 1917 St. John's Academy, Delafleld . 1930 Fond du Lac H. S., Fond du Lac 1920 Union H.

S., Eau Claire . . 1927 had the hall, and he saw an opportunity. The ball left the boy's hands, but he had not gotten hls eye on the basket and so the ball missed the hoop entirely. To his surprise there were no groans from the supporters of his team., instead he heard sighs of relief: for to his chagrin, he found that he had shot at the wrong basket! LAZINESS tContlnued from Page 'rho-teena have caused lt undue cruelty on her part. From this we learn that lt ls a peculiar con- dltlon of the mind which causes exhaustion and dlsgust at a given task. If digging ditches were considered the best of pastimes, scores of wealthy famllles would undoubtedly substitute spades and plcks for golf clubs. G. K. Chesterton expresses much the same idea ln his essay, On Running After One's Hat. ll We have not cited these examples with the express purpose of boring my reader, even though it may apepar so to him. My paper ls limited, and my week's allowance is at an end, so it will bc nezessary to bring my treatise on laziness to a close. The Spectatlonn for next week will be written no a topic of interest to bridge clubs and sew- ing circles everywhere, namely. the modern generation.

1932 ..THE ORANGE AND BLA CK.. June UP AND DOWN THE CORRIDOR . . By Elva Dunham . . 203 HAD A VERY Uninterested visitor not so many weeks ago. Some one's dog became lonesome for hls master and so he followed him to school. He stayed in his ou'ner's session room all morning. but none of the classes pleased him so he proceeded to block up the aisle by stretching out and going to sleep. We don't know just what was done to him, but see- ing that Prevention of , Cruelty to Animals Q week was .lust a short I time ago, perhaps he I was treated all right, - Q 1 Q D0 ANY OF YOU 1Glrlsl remember the style show that was I . given byasllk manu- facturing com- I pany? Alice Jenks who modeled quite a few of the clothes was told to slip on a pair of beach pajamas. She tried to slip into them in a hurry and found that this dress, as she thought it was, was terri- bly tight. Vlfhen the demonstrator came in to get her. she informed Alice that she was only in. er-ah, one part of the pajamas. Q . Q IVELL, TIIERE IIAS Been a lot ol criticism about mentioning people too much in here, but when two people do things as crazy as Jay Ashbrook and Johnny Ellestad do, they deserve to get a. little more publicity than some of these people who beg to have their names printed. Jay came to school with a pair of red and green striped sox to match his red and black striped sweater, Marian Longhcm asked him where he got them and he sa.ld, They're Johnny's, but I took them from him because he has two handkerchlefs of mine that he is wearing out. Just my way of getting even. Q - . IF MORE PEOPLE Would follow the lead of Mae Meyers. the milk men wouldn't have anything to worry about. She, her mother. and her sister are so fond of milk that they order three quarts daily. And none of this ordinary milk for them either, they want the kind that is half Elva Dllllhlllll Buddy ..,.. cream ! . . . DEFINITIONS: Sweetness . . . .

Bob Wellman is one of these boys who doesn't ask but just tells: for instance, when he wants a date. Before the spring concert. ho sent a. note to one of the girls taking part, and the noted stated that she had a date with Bob, etc., etc ..., Needles to say, she broke everyone of her other previous engagements to go with what-a-man. Perhaps you all know by this time that the girl is Betty Torgeson, s - - IF YOU IVANT T0 See a show but haven't the dosre-ml to go, don't be brckenhearted, Stay after school for a few minutes and watch Central's Tar- zan go through his antics. Although he doesn't pick up fair maidens. he does carry other boys up and down the corridor on his bark. No 3:ee-wees either, but regular hefties. Q Q Q 0lI, FOR. GOODNESS' SAKE! To use that well known expression. What do we know about two certain girls! They write notes about each other rand complimentary cnes, tool and drop them in the Mirror box unsigned. How unlady-like or maybe it ls the thing to do if no one else will do it for you. We simply can't mention names, but one might be a blond with rather light blue eyes. which leaves out the person you thought it was. . . - ANOTHER NICE SIGNATURE Is that of Harold Slotten. Look on a library card to see lt, He makes the I-I look like a. cnpit-al S and thcn adds the S of his last name. .
