Athletic Report Madison was very proud of her Basketball Team. Although she was very unfortunate in having two of her best players declared in- eligible and dropped from the main team two weeks before the spring tournament. These players were Volney Oldham and Lee Pierson. Madison Bobcats made a very creditable showing, however. She lost only two games. One of these being the final game in the tourna- ment which ended the boys ' dream of a trip to Moscow. Holiey Carlson won the honor of being placed on the All Star Team of the Southern Division and Ralph Jensen and George Wood on the second team. Ralph Jensen was high point man in Idaho mak- ing more points than any other player. The success of the Bobcats is largely due to Mr. Sellars ' splendid coaching. He certainly trained his players until M. H. S. is proud of them. Our basketball scores were as follows: Madison 14 Teton 3 Madison 17 Teton 5 Madison 47 -— Midway 30 Madison 30 Idaho Falls 13 Madison 13 Center 22 Madison 24 - Center 22 Madison 60 Sugar City 32 Madison 23 Pocatello 15 Madison 34 - I.
