THE SUB-DISTRICT TOURNAMENT This is the second year in which districts have been divided into sub-districts. This was done to cut down expenses of sending the teams so far and having so many teams at the meet. The towns that are in Park's sub-district are: Belgrade, Clyde Park, Three Forks, Holy Rosary of Bozeman, Manhattan, Gallatin, Wilsall and Park. Wilsall and Three Forks did not enter teams this year. The tournament was held in Belgrade. Bel- grade has held the sub-district both years. Park went to the sub-district badly crippled up. Tully was not clear in his eligibility affair. Mac was still out with a knee injury. Nevertheless. the team got through to the championship game to meet our old rival, Gallatin. Park dropped this game to Gallatin. The teams placed: Gallatin. first: Park. sec- ondg Holy Rosary, third and Clyde Park, fourth. SOUTHERN DISTRICT TOURNAMENT The 1930 Southern District Tournament was held in Livingston. This is the first tournament Livingston has had since 1925. The teams from the western part of the district entered were: Twin Bridges, Sheridan, Townsend and Whitehall. These teams won in their sub-district in the order named. The remaining teams composed the win- ners in the eastern sub-district. Park defeated Whitehall 17 to 12 and Twin Bridges 19 to 16 for the right to play Gallatin for the championship the second time of the season. This is the way the championship game went: Gallatin started the scoring soon after the game opened, and a moment later Seideman coun- tered from the gift line. Lyons was forced from the game early in the second quarter on personal fouls. Carlisle substituted for him. To Jim goes the credit of scoring the tying points when things looked darkest for Park. Barry played the great- est game of his career, sinking two neat field goals. Mac and Tully played great games, stop- ping practically every Bozeman attempt to work the ball under the basket. Oley played a stellar game. To him goes the credit of sinking the win- ning basket. The Hawks opened the scoring but saw their lead vanish as Walter sank a field goal, soon after Scideman countered from the gift line. Dyche scored, followed by Haskins, to give Gallatin a lead. Just before the quarter ended, Seideznan sank a field goal to give Park a 6 to 5 lead, Smokey netted two field goals soon after the quarter opened, and a little later went out on personals. Barry substituted for Olson. Carlisle countered. Dyche also countered and a quantity of free throws for Gallatin ended the half. Gallatin took the lead in the second half and held it to the closing minutes. Carlisle netted one from the field and one from the line to set the stage for Olson. As 'tOley's shot ripped the net the bleachers and balcony broke into a mad uproar. Hats sailed through the air and the balcony swayed as the milling throng surged onto the floor to practically maul the winners. POST-SEASON GAME Park played a post-season game this year with Mt. St. Charles. St. Charles was the only team to defeat our boys in the state tourney. The Capital City boys were brought here by the Liv- ingston Kiwanis club. The returns were to be used for the building of the new athletic stadium. The game was well attended and a good profit was realized, giving the stadium fund a boost. But the best part of the game was that Park came out on top. Here it is: St. Charles opened the scoring on a set-up. and Dunckel tied the score a moment later. O1ey put the team ahead on a free throw. St. Charles tied the score, but lost the tie as Oley sank a field goal. The Saints were unable to score again during the quarter, while Park was piling up a 7 to 3 lead. ' The Saints came back strong during the sec- ond quarter and tied the score at 7 all, but Oley LETTERS The team was presented with their letters in front of the assembly after the state tournament. Coach Straw gave a speech and a summary of the tournament games, before pre- senting the letters. Those who received letters Were: Obenhoff, McEntire. Lyons, Olson, Seide- Page Seventy-Nine broke the tie on a field goal. He was fouled while shooting and made good on one of the two at- tempts. St. Charles looped a goal and a free toss to tie the score again. but as before Oley broke the tie on a field goal just as the half ended. Starting the third quarter, the team piled up a 20 to 12 lead, with Smokey doing most of the scoring. The other boys were content to feed him for baskets. The Saints staged a rally in the fourth quarter and cut Parks lead to 24 to 20 with less than two minutes to play. Park kept its lead, scoring two field goals to the Saints' one before the gun sounded. All the home team got in on the scoring column. The game was officiated by Cat Thompson and O. Ward, famous Bobcat players. The teams were fed by the ladies of the Kiwanis club after the contest, places being set for two teams. coaches and invited guests.
