The Bobcats were handicapped this year in footfoiall, a,s in basket ball, for lack of experienced men. With only two letter men and a group of new recruits, Coach Biddulph started to do the impossible — win the district championship in football for the second time. The Bobcats opened the season by winning their first league game with Rlgiby. This gave them the confidence needed and they held the next three teams they met scoreless. The only defeat in the season of league games came with St. Anthony. But the Bobcats redeemed themselves on Armistice Day by beating the traditional rival, Sugar City. This gave Madison five victories out of six league games and entitled thefm to the district championship. The scores for the games are: Madison 19 6 20 35 Rigby Ashton A mm on Driggs Opponents 13 - 0 0 0 Madison 6 7 93 St. Anthony Sugar City Opponents 14 - - 0 27

A menagerie winning the district basket ball tournament and going to the state tournament— not probable but possible. Things did not look so bright for Madison in basket ball this year. Only one man, Dean Packer, captain, was back from last year ' s main squad. The rest of the team had little experience and had been termed by some as looking more like a menagerie than a basket ball team. With th s material, Coach Biddulph undertook to build up a team with which to enter the dis- trict tournament. During the season the Bobcats exchanged games with Montpeller, Poca- tello, Sugar City, St. Anthony. Grace, Idaho Falls, and Ashton. They we-e defeated by Grace, Pocatello and Sugar City. At the district tournament, all odds were for Sugar City to play Rigby in the final game for the champion- ship The upset came when Madison won three straight gamies from Ashton, St. Anthony and Sugar City. The following night Sugar City beat Madison. This made it necessary to carry the tournament over unt ' l Monday, when Madison beat Sugar City and again were basket ball champions of this district. The Bobcats journeyed to Moscow to the State Tournament the next week. In the first game with Moscow, they went down to defeat but came back and won their next two games which gave them the consolation chamipionship. The eight men who entered the district tournament and went to Moscow were: Earl Walters, center; Dean Packer, forward; Paul Harr ' s. forward; Bob Turner, guard; Rodney Dean, guard; Ralph Hallstrom, forward; Lynn Morris, forward; Jay Kerr, guard.
