BOYS BASKETBALL Although not champions, the Acorns can boast of a very successful season this year. The Acorns scored a total of 601 points to the opponents' 426 in 20 games played, winning 14 of these 20. Oakville took second place in the Thurston-Grays Harbor League, losing only two games, one to the champion Rochester team and the other to Tenino. By right of this second place Oakville went to the district tourna- ment at Tenino, Where the team played unexpectedly well. In the preliminaries Oakville defeated South Bend and Wishkahg but in the thrilling, heart-breaking final the Acorns lost to the Ilwaco Fishermen by three points after leading most of the way. Three of our men, McMahon, centerg Fox, forward, and Blechschmidt, guard, placed on all-star teams. McMahon received the distinction of being high point man in the league, scoring 150 points in 10 league games and 256 for the entire season. The team loses only thiee players this year-Murray, Norman and Blech- schmidt-which leaves four lettermen and some good second-team material with which to build a strong team for next year. Oakville played seven practice games, winning four of them.
