SECON D TEAM BASKETBALL The second team basketball boys completed a very successful, if greatly shortened, season with nine wins to their credit and only four losses. Be- cause of limited transportation facilities, the only games played were with the Yakima B squad, Washington and Franklin Iunior High schools, the Alumni, Lower Naches, and the Wapato second string, eliminating entirely the schools farther away. Four games were played with the Yakima second string, and an unusual record was made when the Selah boys won all four of them from the highly- rated Yakima team. Four losses were suffered early in the year, but the team seemed to gain strength as the season progressed and a string of eight wins ended their l3 encounters. Bob Immer, Dean Hartman, Don Hancock, Bob Tibbling, lack Graham, Benjie Iohnson, Ronnie Sperline, Iim Dowdy and Leonard Skjelstad turned in outstanding performances all during the season to receive second team letters. Several other fellows must be given credit for their consistent practice throughout the season, that helped to make the team successful, even though they did not play in enough games to earn letters. They are Lloyd Watson, lim Matson, Dean Iohnson, Al Robinson, Marvin Koreski, Herbert Helrriick. I NTDAMIJ IQAL BASKETBALL If a stranger should happen to drop in on Selah High school at noon some day during the winter months, he would probably wonder just what kind of an institution he had entered. Upon further investigation, however, he would find that it was only the students, with a sandwich in each hand, cheering their favorite intramural team on to victory. The teams are chosen by first squad players from all boys in the school who are not sufficiently skilled or for other reasons cannot play on the first or second squads. Teams were chosen this season by Dick Tyrrell, Ralph Sher- wood, Fred Iohnson, Don Johnson, Elvin Bjork and Herb lackson. The games were full of excitement through the entire season. After con- siderable tussling the four top teams were determined. These four teams were coached by Fred Iohnson, Dick Tyrrell, Don lohnson and Herb lackson. By the score of 32-30 Fred's team eliminated Don's. Another close game followed when Dick's team beat Herb's, 24-21. Fred's team then grabbed the championship from Dick's by a score of 33-ll. The players on the championship squad were Bill Wilcox, Lloyd Watson, Gerald Brosnan, George Youngren, Dick Iohnson and Marvin Koreski. Dick Tyrrell's team, which won second place, was composed of Vern Lindsley, Keith Matson, Alvin Robinson, Wayne Odom, Fred Van Lith and Maurice Iones.
