You get to the fifteen, they are swarming in on you. Your interference cut a couple of them down, you get to the twenty and are swarmed under. The whistle blows, you are lined up on a single wing to the right and try an off tackle smash for no gain. You try again with no suc- cess. You kick on the third down, your line and backs block beautifully and you get away a long punt. This same procedure goes on for three quarters, both teams battling each other to a standstill. The fourth quarter rolls around. You are forced to kick from behind the goal line. You line up in punt formation, fake a kick, then pass. It worked. You are a smart quarterback fif that pass hadn't worked you would be at the head of the dumb- bell rowj. The ball is downed on the forty yard line. The next play you are away on a fake reverse. You pass up the end, meet another tacklerg Baslellmll The basketball season was fairly successful and produced some very interesting games. Among the interesting highlights of the season were the overtime games with Shelley and St. Anthony. We lost to St. Anthony in the first overtime period, and to Shelley in the second period, both games were closely contested throughout. The Sugar City game played at Sugar City handed the Beet-Diggers their first defeat of the season, also the first defeat the Sugar team had received on their home floor. The district tournament was held at Rexburg. We lost the opening game to Idaho Falls, the tournament champions. In the evening we came back to defeat Ashton by a lop-sided score. The following evening Sugar eliminated us in a thrilling game by a 32-34 score. The tournament concluded the Rigby High careers for four of our outstanding ball players: Bill McCullough, a guard, who was selected as one of the ten outstanding players of the tourna- ment, Bill Saxton, center, Jack Pettingill and LaVar Beck, forwards. The Junior Varsity, composed mostly of Sophomores, won the majority of their games, playing some excellent ball. nsasnsunsuasnrsgnsnnsnsuxusnssasnasunsnxns RIGBY HIGH SCHOOL - you fake away then drive through catching him on your hip. He is off balance but m.anages to catch your legg you jerk loose only to meet two more closing in from each side. Perhaps a change of pace will throw them off. You slow up. They close in hard. A sudden burst of speed and they meet behind you. No one left but the quarterback between you and the goal. You will have to make him show to get by. You drive straight at him, you come in close, he slows up taking no chances -it is up to you- you fake left and go right. He didn't fake and drops you neatly. The game ends with no score. You are tired and dirty, but it has been a grand game. You give the opponents a cheer and trot back toward the shower amid much noise and confusion, with a rather self-satisfied feeling of having done well- but always with the thought of how you might have won the game had you varied your attack in one situation. belle I' Awe Fil S At a special assembly in the Rigby High School auditorium Wednesday, April 17, awards were made to boys winning letters in football and bas- ketball during the past school year.
