Moberly at Trenton Feb. 24, 1942 On one of thecoldest nights of this winter, after one of the deepest snows in Missouri for the past. 5 or 6 years, Coach McCormick and six of our players drove to Trenton over icy roads to play thispgame. The fellows were 3' tiredwwhen they got there, but after warming up they felt better. T Miller and ll McAtee fouled o-ut and the team was lifeless. The oth- ers went on trying hard as Clickner rang up 16 points andiBishop ll but in spite of our offensive Tren- ton pulled ahead. ,It was a close game along the first quarter but Trenton came out on top of 'ap 43 to 38 score. if N ii C Moberly 'at Hannibal - - Feb. 27,i1942' p Threef days of ,rest and the teamswere back in shap'e'T agai.n for the games with Hannibal.

C. B. C. had won twice, both times in overtime periods -,but we too-k the remaining game with on- ly a two point advantage. It would be hard to say ho-w many times the score was tied dur- ing the games but it seemed that neither team would let the other get more than two points ahead. We had a one po-int lead at the halibut that only teased B.C. The crowd that was' hoarse before the half ended, and went wild the lastlhalf as the game continued to see saw back and forth. Finally we went ahead and though we might have a breathing spell with our 5 point lead with on- ly 45 seconds to go. The lead was cut to 3 points as a C.B.C. boy sank one from about mid-court then our pulse stopped as a foul was called on us but fortunately the C. B. C. man missed both shots. C. B. C. drew another foul but missed and the time was short when we regained ,the ball. just when we lost the ball once again the whistle blew and we had won 51 to 50. A perfect game to close the season with, FIFTYfSEVEN
