FOOT BALL Foot ball practice began the second week of school. Because of the lack of experienced men we had to prac- tice with determination to work up a team worthy of rep- resenting Simla High. Although the most important games were lost, our average was good and the team an improvement over last year's. The supportof the Student Body and Town People was good and appreciated very much by the team. We will suffer the loss of seven men through gradua- tion this year. Calvin Thierfelder, Full Back, was always good for a gain either around the end or through the line. He also did most of the passing. Clyde Morgan, End, never missed apass or tackle. Ed Haycook and Gifford Shipman, Tackles, were in the center of things and always nabbed the man with the ball. Les Wood at Right Half was always good for a gain. Ralph Zentz and Finley Garriott as subs. , Ralph mak- ing his letter, were ready to fill in as guards. There will be a number of good men back next year. Dwight Hefley, Center, always steadv and true. Irving Haycook and Leo Moreland, guards, always doing their part in the game. Cecil Greenwood at Left End played a good game. Oscar Pease, Left Half, always picked a hole for a good gain. Roy King, Half and Sub Quarter always filled in most any place in the backfield. Ward Spaid, Capt. and Capt. Elect, at Quarter was a good general, handling the team and calling plays in fine fashion, and was also one of our best men both on offense and defense. Letters awarded: Ward Spaid, Calvin Thierfelder, Clyde Morgan, Ed Haycook, Gifford Shipman, Ralph Zentz, Leslie Wood. Irving Haycook, Oscar Pease, Cecil Greenwood, Dwight Hefley, Leo Moreland, and Roy King. GAMES Sept. Simla 19 Tovi n 0 Sept. Simla 30 Limon 0 Oct. Simla 0 Hugo 25 Oct. Simla 31 Manitou 0 Oct.

GIRLS BA SKET BALL During the Basket Ball season, the girls scored 266 points in 10 games, against 135 points scored by our op- ponents. We won the Championship of Eastern Colorado by doubling the score on the Flagler girls. This means that we again have in our possession the three-year loving cup, which was merely loaned to Burlington last year and we fully intend that it shall remain in our pos- ession, We also have a permanent cup which was pre- sented to us by the Lowe Kr Campbell, Sporting Goods Company. The scores for the en-tire season were: Simla Town Simla Alta Vista Simla Hugo Simla Limon Simla Calhan Simla Hugo Simla Calhan Simla Flagler Simla Manitou From the beginning of the year great interest was taken in the game and although we were handicapped at first by the lack of second team players, we made the best of the situation and soon had an abundance of players out. l Phyllis Shiprran, our fleet and diminutive forward, was a whizz in shooting both field goals and free throws. She distinguished herself onthe free throw line in the Championship game by caging 15 out of 18 free throws. She scored 107 points during the season. Thelma Barnhill played an excellent game at all times. Her rare judgment in calling formations was responsible again and again for our securing the first basket--which fact alwais put the proper pep and confidence into the team. 120 points were scored by her. Our centers, Myrtle Mrody and Della Hanmel were ina class by themselves. Their wonderful passing ability and perfect understanding of the science of the game vias nothing short of phenomenal.
