Glenda Stapleton knows the importance of keeping one's eye on the ball. As the ball arcs, the players watch for any sign that it won't be a basket so that they may rebound the ball. Score -Lambs 61, Boerne 60. Dorothy Krahn makes use of an open- ing at the mom ent she wasn't being guarded to try for a shot against East Central. lt was the perfect opportu- nity for two points. Score-East Cen- tral 47, Lambs 39. Often in girls' basketball the guards have quite a time getting the ball down to their own fo rwa rd s. The opposing forwards make good guards as the Boerne opponent demonstrates to La Nell Tietze. Mae Steubing finds herself in quite an awkward po sitio n with the wall behind her and a Boerne guard in front of her. Her solution was a bounce pass to safety. Anyone who says girls' bas - ketball is a gentle game m a y take he e d from this shot. Unavoidable colli- sions such as the one Betty Lou Kasper happened upon are c o m m o noccurrences due to the vim and vigor of the players. The Bandera opponent probably got two free shots from this one. Nevertheless, the s c o r e was Lambs 49, Bande ra 36.
