BASKETBALL With Rob and Gil Travis and Erickson from last year and Dodge and Finnegan moved up from the B's, things looked bright for Troy. The Trojans were rolling along merrily when fate suddenly reared its ugly head. Rob Travis received a broken collar bone. The A's called on Whipple to fill the gap. This he did in grand style. Then with only one more game between the Red and White and the Championship, the game had to be canceled for two months. During this time the Travises moved. Again calling on the B's the Varsity took Crandall, and when finally played the Trojan boys won a close game from the Indians and the first A team trophy in Quincy High. Those awarded letters were: graduating seniors, Dodge, Finnegan, Whipple, Erickson, Winsell, Rowell, and also Eiszele and G. Anderson. Quincy 48 Portola 30 Hayes broke his nose. Looked like champs. Quincy 53 Loyalton 16 G. Travis rang up 16 points. Quincy 34 Greenville 20 Dodge led this one—12 points. Quincy 11 Loyalton 29 Dodge, Finnegan, Erickson elsewhere. Quincy 50 Portola 20 A walk away, Whipple moved to the A's. A good football game. Finnegan kept team going. Quincy 18 Lassen 24 Quincy 23 Lassen 47 Out classed. Quincy 24 Greenville 17 Crandall moved to the A's. Behind at third quarter. Total 278 204 Won championship. The B's started with a powerful team; Ford, Whipple, Ellwood, Crandall, and Chapman. They were favored to cop the championship and never for a moment did anyone doubt it. This is the third consecutive year that the B's have not been beaten in league competition. Those earning their letters were: Ellwood, Crandall, Ford, Rich, Chapman, Kelly and Hilton. Quincy 45 Portola 14 Jughaid played with a broken hand. Quincy 46 Loyalton 36 An easy one. Quincy 34 Greenville 13 An easier one. Quincy 41 Loyalton 20 The easiest one. Quincy 39 Portola 26 Won championship even without Jug. Quincy 15 Lassen 25 Grizzlies too much. Quincy 17 Lassen 26 Still too much. Quincy 41 Greenville 11 Just for fun without Crandall. Total 278 171 Mostly new comers, the Trobabes put a gallant fight in the league race and were nosed out by a great Portola five. The boys with Dunn the only veteran returning were at quite a loss when the gymnasium was condemned leaving them without a place to practice. They were beaten only twice and on both occasions by the Tigers of Portola. The opener with Portola was won by a free shot. Those earning letters were W. Anderson, Dunn, McDonagh, B. Crandall, Carpenter, Kelley, Sundahl and Demes. Quincy 22 Portola 23 A foul cost this one. Quincy 23 Loyalton 13 Closer than the score. Quincy 19 Greenville 11 Dunn hot. Quincy 8 Loyalton 7 Anderson made this one in an overtime period. Quincy 12 Portola 35 Tigers took the cup. Quincy 9 Greenville 7 A thriller. 93 96 »
