They were the darkest, dark horse in the tourney but by winning four straight games they became sectional champions and brought home the trophy for the first time since l932. jo Monroe, star forward of the Martensdale team, was chosen as outstanding player of the tournament. A week later the team travelled all the way to Lenox for the district tournament. They played good defensive ball holding opposition to close margins but losing three games. They held the crack Cumberland team to I5 points. incidentally, Cumberland was runnerup in the state tournament losing to Centerville, state champions, by the score of 21 to 37. If we might have had a little more luck with basket shooting in the district tournament, it is possible that the team might have at- tained its goal of a state tournament. The team was built around a strong defense in Ruth Howell, senior, Marjorie Weaver, junior, and Reba Brownlie, sophomore, guards. The offensive work was carried on mainly by jo Monroe, senior, Adelaide Wise, sophomore, and Berlene Frazier, freshman, forwards. Other letter winners who saw much service were Maxiene Smith and Maxine Strahan, senior forwards, and Mary Louise West, sophomore guard. Three players, Monroe, Howell and Wise have been lost for next year. The last named has moved to St. Marys. zi-:1:1:l:lio5:i:i:1ai:lic Eighteen

Earl Monroe, veteran center, who played but one semester, dropped out of school in the middle of the season. Other lettermen were Roy Martens, Clinton Wise, Robert Murphy and Oliver Frazier. Although they won only six games out of seventeen played, they lost four by close scores. Witlr a little stronger defense we might have had a championship team. ?rospects for a winning team next year are very good. Veterans back are Joe Sheehey, Oliver Frazier, Gaylord Siedel, William Cellan, Garold McConnell and Paul Miller. We will have a new player in Raymond Duffy, a regular on the Pat- terson team this year.
