BASKETBALL Returning home disappointed but yet spirited, the Broncs are vowing to have an even more suc- cessful season next year, although three of the first five are graduating. Then came the much looked for game between the Broncs and the Needles Mustangs, rivals of old. Due to the scarcity of good games the Broncs played a double- header. The first game, starting at VARSITY 2:30 P. M., ended with Parker on the short end of a 20-16 score. The night game started at 8:00 P. M., proved to be a fast-moving thriller with Parker again on the end of a 26-22 tally. Starting the next game with high spirits the Broncs had hard luck and began clicking but it was too late to even the score. The Broncs could not overtake the advantage the 667th Medical Corps five had built up. The final score showed Parker on the losing end, 30-27. After a week of good hard practice the Broncos hit a winning streak to take their next three games. Beating the 339th Fighter Bomber Group 39-18, the 323rd M. P.'s 32-11, and in a hard-fought return game from Needles corraled the Mus- tangs 21-16. The Broncs then went on a four-day trip to Phoenix to compete in the district tournament. Their first game with the Buckeye Hawks, to the disappointment of the tired Sons of Parker, was lost by a 51-24 margin. After getting acquainted with the strange court the Broncs, vowing to bring home the bacon, collided with a tough Tolleson quintet, losing 43-27. The Fighting Broncs of '44 got off to a slow start after losing their first two games of the season to the fast, hard playing 172nd Field Artillery. As the boys were fairly small, in comparison, and while they lacked practice they made up for it in fighting spirit and good sportsmanship. Retali- ating from their first two losses, they overcame the Indians, a town team made up of Indian boys, to win a 22-19 victory. Then came another game with the 172nd which was lost by a slim 29-30 margin. Now the Broncs seemed to hit their stride, and romped the 323rd M. P. Escort Guard Com- pany 34-17.
