THE VALLEY LEGEND I In their first encounter on November 25. Rushford emerged victorious over Mabel by a 19 to 16 score. On December 4, Rushford lost a close and exciting game by a 14 to 15 count at Spring Grove. Next, on December 11, Lanesboro came here and left with a hard earned 14 to 17 victory to their credit. The Winona Business College came here on December 18 and was handed a 17 to 12 drubbing by the local quint. Rushford defeated the Alumni by an 18 to 14 tally on December 29. The Alumni team was limited to the ’30 and ’31 graduates. On January 7, after a holiday rest, Houston invaded Rushford and left with a 17 to 14 victory. Preston duplicated Houston’s accomplishment on January 14 and went home with a 21 to 11 victory. Rushford invaded Peterson on January 29 and, in spite of the racket created by their vicious, old time rivals, came home with the spoils. The score was 22 to 18. In the following encounter, Rushford was turned back at Preston on February 5 by a 12 to 34 score. In a return game on February 9 Rushford invaded Houston and met the defense with an attack that reversed the score of their previous game and Rushford went home with a 17 to 14 victory. On February 11, Rushford again found revenge in defeating the invading Spring Grove team 22 to 21. On February 16 the Green and Gold sent the visiting Mabel quint home with a 27 to 20 defeat. The local boys came back from Lanes-boro on February 19 after losing to them by a 19 to 25 score. Peterson was turned back on February 23, by a 27 to 18 tally in a return game at Rushford. In the next bout on February 24, Rushford threatened the Chatfield stronghold, but was turned back by a 25 to 19 count. On February 25 Chatfield came to Rushford and their attempt to repeat their performance of February 24 came to naught. Rushford’s counter-attack sent Coach Johnson’s team home with a 13 to 11 defeat. In their first tournament game on March 4, the local quint lost to the strong Preston five by a 10 to 31 score. Thus the enemy was repulsed. Peace and quietness again reigns in our pleasant valley. The lurking shadows have shamefully withdrawn. With regret in their hearts, they realize that they had underestimated the recuperative powers of their prey. They have left Rushford forever and can be seen disappearing on the distant horizon in search of easier victims. The local aggregation has proven themselves deserving of praise, not only because of their victories, for that is not all that counts in the make up of a successful team, but also because of the feeling of loyalty and cooperation that has been manifest throughout the season. Lettermen are as follows—Captain John P. Anderson, Walter Quarve, Gordon James, Donald Johns, Arthur Laumb, Donald Johnson, Paul Parish, Donald Hoegh, George Thomson and Rees Johnson.

They haunted every hiding place; trailed the pupils to and from school; and at night, danced around the building to give vent to the joy that evil scheming was bringing to them. On their scowling faces was an evil, satisfied gleam which seemed to forebode disaster for the school. They thought that the athletic fame of the R. H. S. was to become a thing of the past. They did not think that a basketball team could be built around the regular veteran back from last year, Captain John Peter Anderson. This explains the presence of these sinister apparitions. They were waiting to pounce upon the throats of their victims as soon as the R. H. S. showed signs of giving up basketball. However, they were due for a very disappointing surprise. Mr. Hanson perched himself up by Mrs. Stehly’s desk and called out in a booming voice which resounded through the assembly. Mr. Hanson was calling his warriors— telling them that they must assemble and meet the enemy in order to protect the honor and integrity of their Domain. Out of the group of inexperienced though valiant young men who responded, a creditable team was chosen. Captain John P. Anderson, Walter Quarve, and Gordon James were the only letter-men back.
