1 Maitla do i q Pj U BASKET BALL Basket ball is the major athletic sport in our High School. This year we were represented by one of the best teams in Northwest Missouri.. The first call for candidates brought out four regulars and a number of new men ready to battle fo1' a place on the team. Maitland won the Holt County outdoor tournament held at Mound City on November 10. We decisively defeated Corning, New Point and Mound City. We were not quite so successful in the Rosendale tournament, being defeatedin the finals. We won the Skidmore tournament by defeating New Point and Mound City. In the Northwest Missouri tournament at Maryville we eliminated in the first game by the Class B champions by a small margin. We had previously beaten them by a twenty point margin. We were handicapped in the latteiypart of the season by the Flu and injuries. Conner was out of the line-up for six weeks previous to the tournament and was hardly in condition to play. Although bothered with an injured hip he was mentioned on the all-star team. An account of the season would not be complete without referring to the excellent support which we received from the students and towns- people. As a token of their appreciation the business men donated heavy coat sweaters to every member of the squad. Individuals Conner at forward was the talk of the season. He was all-star forward in every tournament he took part in. He was ya dead shot and was a wizard on floor work, being extra good on the defense andla side- stepper of no mean ability. . Ungles at forward was fast as a bullet, and was exceptionally good as a basket shooter. He was seriously considered as a running mate for Connor on the all-star district team in spite of the fact that the team was eliminated in the first game. He and Conner worked together like a clock, and one of the officials said, Maitland has the best pair of for- wards in thetournament in Class B. Cartwright at center seldom met his equal on the tip-off and was a power on the defense. He had no superior in getting' the ball off the backboard. Ile was all-star center in the Holt County tournament. llilarion as guard was strong on defense. He was good on break- ing up passes. Ile knocked down many a throw which looked like a sure goal. While not a heavy SC01'6I', his shooting was at a distance and some of his goals we1'e very timely. Reimold at guard played a good brand of ball and could be counted on to do some scoring as well as guarding. This was his first year on the team. Edwards at guard played the floor and did most of the shooting the guards. He liked to slip down the court and get a goal when it was badly needed. C0Wd9H, KUQDPGIH W211'H91', Wakely, Hooper, Williams and Alloway gave a good account of themselves when called upon. for i,...Mne A TQQ 3 E F 1
