Basketball The basketball season this year was one of buth triumph and defeat. The boys were a little later in beginning- practice than were the girls, as the football season was not over until late in November and it took a few weeks to get things in or- der for basketball. There was some practice and training be- fore the Christmas holidays, but not until the beginning of the winter quarter, did the teams get into earnest practice. The girls elected Anona Wells of Mayer as their captain, while the boys elected Hoddy Stevens of Douglas to lead them during the season. The first game of the season for both boys and girls was with VVinslow on the Normal floor. The Normal Sextet out- classed the visitors with a score of 61 to 1-5. Bessie Benson and Anona Wells did excellent work in this opening game, at forward positions. The boys failed to keep together and were defeated by two points. The score was 23 to 21. The next phase of the season was a trip into the Navajo and Apache counties. The boys left Tuesday morning for Eagar where they played the Round Valley High School that evening. The two-hundred-mile trip had exhausted them, and they lost with a b .avy score of 39 to 10. On Wednesday they retumed to St. ns, where they met the high school team January 22. Fc ,he first time in history the Normal five de- feated the country lads. The game was one of the best during the whole season and was made more interesting by the fact that both Jarvis and Naegle were playing for the Normal against their former team-mates. The score read 25 to 22. The boys returned to Holbrook Thursday and stayed over a day resting for the game with Holbrook on Friday. The Nor- mal girls had the advantage of being larger, although the small girls were fast. The score of the girls ' game was 26 to 7 in the favor of the Normal girls. The boys ' game was rather fast but one-sided. The first half was close but during the last two ijeriods the larger boys outplayed the high school lads and won 33 to 17. On Saturday both teams went to Mnslow and played the last games of the trip. The girls ' game was a hard-fought battle, and not the one-sided affair that the first game of the season was. It was any one ' s game until the last minute of play when Winslow made a free throw taking the lead by one point. The score was 11 to 10. The boys ' game was faster and more exciting, at the end of the four quarters the score stood 17 to 17. Five minutes of play told the story, however, and the railroad city boys came out vic- tors with a score of 21 to 19. The next game of the season for boys and girls was with Jerome on the Normal court on January 28. During the trip eastward the floor was changed from the small cross court () ,1 ,■ llundi-.il One

to the long regulation court, making it one of the best in Ari- zona. The Jerome boys were a little too much for the Normal boys who had not been playing an organized game. Theii- score was 14 to 8. The girls fared much better and defeated the hillside girls 32 to 16. On February 4th, the Lumberjacks met the Olson Ter- rible Swedes of Coffeyville, Kansas, in an exhibition game. The Swede game was the first of the season in which the Lumberjacks met a team above the high school grade, and in this game the boys worked together and showed the first real basketball skill displayed during the season. This starter gave the boys confidence, although the score was 35 to 13 against them. On February 10 the Round Valley teams came to Flag- staff and both teams put up fine games. The girls from up- state were fast and accurate, and although the Normal sex- tette played excellent ball the visitors triumphed 28 to 22. The boys ' game was a fast one from the starter ' s whistle. The mountain boys defeated the Lumberjacks on their home court and expected to do the same on the Normal floor. How- ever, our boys were ready for them and the whole game was a battle for every point. The tables turned in this game and the result was a 22 to 18 victory for Coach Roger ' s quintet. On Friday of the same week, Holbrook boys and girls came to Normal and were defeated easily by the Normal teams. The scores were 37 to 7 for the girls and 50 to 18 for the boys. The Olson Swedes played the Normal five again February 20, on their return trip, but this time the home boys held them to a much lower score, indeed, out-played them at stages of the game. The score was 28 to 45 in this game, the large score received by the Swedes being made mostly in the last periods of the game. This same evening the girls ' team met Clarkdale for one of the fastest games of the entire season. The visitors put up a good fight, but the Lumber j ills were the larger and worked hard, winning by a score of 33 to 12. The teams ended their season on the home floor February 28 when they met Prescott. The girls won the most decisive victory of the season, defeating Prescott by a score of 50 to 7. The boys were surprised to find the visitors faster and stronger than they expected but rallied in the last half and won by a 18 to 14 score. The boys ' team, upon completion of their regular schedule went to Phoenix to the Junior College tournament held there March 6 and 7. The Flagstaff boys had not done so well in former years at this meet but surprised the valley people by winning the first game played, from the Phoenix Indians. At a coachs ' meeting it was decided after the first day ' s game that the Phoenix Indians were the best of the defeated teams, which decision automatically places Flagstaff in third place. The second game was with Tempe, who had the strongest team in the tournament, and our boys were defeated. This trip to the south did more good for the school than anything else, probably, during the whole year, bringing the two sec- tions of the state into athletic relationship.
