The Dogies attended the Tournament at Gillette but were eliminated after having been defeated by Sundance and Ranches- ter, however taking everything in consideration they had a very successful year through Coach Ed. Hoel's painstaking efforts! Lusk 11, Newcastle 9 Boys-At Newcastle, Dec. 10, 1926 Although this was the Dogies' nrst game of the season it was also considered one of the best. This could have been local squads game as well as not for they led the Luskites- until the last quarter when Lusk found the loop with two long shots making the score 9 to 11 in favor of the Invaders. Captain Grieves led the scorers with three baskets to his cred- it. Adam found the loop once while Gaido scored a free throw. Considering the fact that this was the first game of the season and that it was several of the boys' first game, the team showed up ex- ceedingly well, promising to hang several scalps to their belts be- fore the season is over. - Lusk 24, Newcastle 7 Boys--At Lusk, Dec. 17, 1926 The N. H. S. boys played a return game with Lusk in which the Dogies came out on the short end of the deal, the score being 24 to 7. The Lusk boys were too much at home on their own narrow gym which was a handicap to the Dogies who could not get started in their usual fast game. Captain of the Dogies, Grieves, again led the scorers, finding the ring twice. Mead tossed the ball in once and Adam gets credit for a free throw. .--.L-l-1 Newca.stle 17, Sundance 9 Boys-At Newcastle, Dec. 31, 1926 The Crook county high school basket tossers came down and inet their Waterloo at the hands of the N. H. S. Dogies after 'a hard played fast game. Sundance will be remembered as having a good team last year which tromped on the N. H. S. Dogies once and got beat by a very small margin another time. But in spite of the fact that they have some old hands at the game the fast work of the Longhorns baffled them and the final score was 17 to 9, Sundance getting the 9. .27-.

Newcastle 24, Sundance 11 Boys-At Newcastle, Feb. 3, 1927 Owing to the fact that the local basket shooters did not go to Sundance to play the return game the C. C. H. S. five played the re- turn game here. After the long trip the intruders gave the Dogies quite a run to get the big end of a 24 to 11 score. The scorers were again led by Dogie Gaido with four field -goals and two free throws. Adam came second with three field goals and a free throw. Grieves comes next in line with two field goals and a free throw. Mead brings up the rear with one of those spectacular long shots which he is noted for. We hope Sundance has better luck next year. .1i..1i.T. Buffalo 14, Newcastle 8 , Boys--At Newcastle, Jan. 21, 1927 Although only attended by a fair crowd this game was consid- ered one of the fastest of the season. The Bisons will be remem- bered as having won the Northeast- State Championship last year, and most of their star men were on the squad this year. Having kept the Dogies from scoring the first half of the game the score was 6 to 0 and things did not look so promising for the Longhorns, however at the beginning of the second half the local five snapped out of it and when the final whistle blew the score stood 8 to 14 in favor of the Bisons.. The Dogies could have at least tied the score had they made their free throws, both teams had the same amount of field goals, and the same number of free throws, the Bisons made all of their free throws the Dogies could not find the loop for a single free throw, so victory went to the intruders. The Longhorns were led by Gaido and Adam who 'each found the loop twice. - According to the Buffalo newspaper's account of the game, Gaido was the star of the floor. s Buialo 20, Newcastle 10 Boys-At Buffalo, Feb. 5, 1927 After having been defeated by Sheridan the Dogies decided to invade the home of the Bisons, but here again they were compelled to take defeat, the Bisons having given them the 10 of a 20 to 10 CContinued on page 36.5 -2 9..
