Profiting by their years and experience the seniors won and were followed by the others in the order of their class year. All of the games were played after school hours and from this group the Greyhound squad was to be picked. The closest and best game of the tourney was the first game as the seniors played the freshmen. Each team, determined to win. matched points the entire game and Ikev VV'allace's field goal in the last seconds of play' kept the seniors on top of a 21 to- 20 score. The juniors had little trouble in defeating the sophomores in the second game. Scoring at will. and freely substituting all of their fif- teen teammates. In the final round the seniors held fast to their first game tactics and nosed out the juniors by a small margin. First place going to the seniors and the juniors taking sec- ond best. The tired freshmen lab- ored hard but failed to overtake the sophomores in a 17 to 12 battle. The high scorers in the contest were junior Captain Garth Miller and Freshman Captain johnny VVeaver with sixteen points each. The fourteen points of Captain Wallace of the winning Seniors team was close behind. FIFTY-NINE
