X A Svnrurg uf Athlviira Murray being the youngest and smallest high school of the county, has its athletic reputation yet to earn. lVith each year our school has been gaining more respect and apparently, some fear, from her opponents, because of her rapid growth and development. Some of oureganies this year have been eye openers even to the players themselves. W'ith a team drawn chiefly from the lower high school classes we have gone into the conflict and made an admirable showing although generally coming out on the short end of the score. ln the coming year Murray ought to be able to attain the star of victory because she will have the strongest and probably the hardest and longest drilled team of her career. Wfith all letter men back to partake of the sports, the coming season should prove an exciting one. Murray's possibilities are great and with the planned addition to our SCllOOl,,Q'lC future looks brightf

Basketball Our league season was short and hard this year. We played Only Grantsville and Tooele. The Grantsville games were hard and f8.S'C and were won from us only by small scores. Tooele gave us an over- whelming defeat in our first game, played in their gym, but HWY found difficulty in edging out with a three-point lead in the return gamfi. Rulon Sanders in forward position was .one of our brightest stars and played good ball in all our games, being particularly strong in combination work. . ' A , Milton McMillan played the other forward position with much ability and was the life and pep ,of our games. u Louis Olsen at center always got the tip off because it may be said of him that his head is always in the clouds. But nevertheless he comes to earth long enough to play a splendid game. john Birkinshaw will be sorely missed next yearifrom guard position, because he never allowed his man to elude him and jack was always successful in caging a few baskets. i Herbert Bluck as guard made a good consistant player and did his share of all the work to be done. Earl jones in forward position, though small, managed to get away from his guard and score a few baskets. Earl is sure to be a strong man for next year. Earlo Sanders, captain, usually selected the ball and played the floor from guard's position. Elmer Bacon played a good steady game and had the advantages of being young, tall- and handsome, the Freshie girls say. VVilliam Peters as forward will be greatly missed next year. Elmer Christensen though light flight with regard to avoirdu- pois-not complexion or fingersj, promises to be one of our best men for guard position next year. Baseball. Baseball is stimulating a great deal of interest among the fans at school this year, and we are sure that our team will be a great credit to us and come home, at least occasionally, with the victory. Murray was defeated in her first game with West Side High School, the score being 7 to O. However the team managed to bring home the bacon and the ball from the following game with the Saints at the VVest Side campus. Our baseball lineup is strong and with more hard training should bring home that extra ball often. The lineup is as follows: Wilfoi'd Robinson, catcher, Louis Ol- sen, lst base, Earl Jones, Znd baseg Herbert Bluck, 3rd base, Elmer Bacon, short stop, Gordon Wliipple, right field, Rulon Sanders, center held, john Birkinshaw, left held, Earlo Sanders, pitch. Substitutes: Clifford Larson, Elmer Christensen, Howe Moffat, Louis Sanders, Lynn Chiverall, Earl Anderson, W'ilford Peterson, VVil- liam Peters, Lynn Miller. A The letter men of this year, produced under the splendid coaching and training of our coach, Mr. Leonard Neilson, are Louis Olsen, Her- bert Bluclc, Earlo Sanders, Earl jones, Elmer Bacon, Rulon Sanders, Gordon VVhipple, Vtfilford Robinson and John Birkinshaw.
