Juniors Win Interclass Tournament The Inter-class Tournament of 1932 was one of the most interesting as well as entertaining tour- naments as has been our privilege to watch. Due to the large number of boys interested in basketball this winter, it was decided that each class should be represented by two teams. Drawings for the first round were made by lot. The first round was the least interesting, with all favorites running true to form. -45-

Basketball Season We hardly know what to say about this year's basketball season. True, we went through an entire season without meeting defeat, but things did not go so well when we got to the tournament. ln the first game of the tournament. we eked out a victory, eliminating Rice Lake. The 20 to l7 score does not indicate the high class of basketball exhibited the first evening. However, on the second night. Spooner, the championship team, who, because of an ineligible player, forfeited the title to Ladysmith, punctured our bubble with real championship basketball ability to eliminate us. This year's tournament squad was Composed of ,lim Wlade, Ben Vezina, Clifton Mack, John Fast, Pete Fisk, Roy Pepper, Bob lverson, Carl Huber. and Don Greenlee. Bill Vezina accompanied rhi- team as manager. Of the above listed squad. Jim Wade, Pete Fiske, Bob lverson, Ben Vezina, Roy Pepper and Carl Huber graduate. These boys represent the original midgets.

The Sophs kept up their good showing, made the previous game and conquered their upper classmen in an exciting game. In the finals, neither team could be classed as favorites. It looked to be an even battle, but Madame Fortune chose to cast her lot with the .Juniors while her daughter, Miss Fortune, visited the Seniors. fJohnny Fast's overhead tosses were too much for the Seniors. Sophs A ............................ 22 Senior B ..,.....,................. 21 Seniors A .................,........ 25 Junior A .,...........r......,....... 35, The Juniors showed themselves worthy champions amassing 135 points in three games while hold- ing their opponents to 46 points. fJohnny Fast was high scorer of the tournament, making a total of 56 points in three games. Matt McCourt and Roy Ward handled the games in big league fashion. Prospects for another year look good and we are expecting a lot of those Juniors who showed themselves so valiantly in the Inter-class Tournament. Girls' Basketball Heard in Senior Dressing Room After Tournament Well, that's another feather in their hat. Yeah, those Juniors would beat us. Why'd, we let the Freshmen beat us last time? Then we wouldnit have had to play those Juniors again ,cause we beat 'em last Tuesday. Ten to twenty-one. wonit they gloat over that? Huh! Well, they would've had a harder time if I hadn't had such a sore foot. 'fLook at this blister on my heel. 'LUh huh. Well, see where I got my finger Caught in the door last weekf, 6'And did see where one of those guards just about tore my arm into strips? -Sh-h, here comes Balgief' You girls played a good game today but thereis somethings you still forget. Watch out for your passing. Don't make long passes-make them short and look where youire throwing the ball. And be careful about your guarding. I noticed some of you today running with the ball. You can't do that. Either plant your foot down good and hard on the Hoor or dribble-and see that you don't double-dribble. You still have a lot of faults to correct, but youill get there yet. NI guess she's right. I know I sure can't pass that ball. Nobody's ever there to get it when I throw it. What about me? Every time I get the ballI'm so surprised that I turn around and throw it to the other side? 'SOh, and did I ever tell you about the time when I was a Freshman that the referee hollered at me so I went and sat down on the bench?', You donat say. This game sure was a hard one.', Yeah, I thought that third quarter would never end. 'LI had to guard that quick little one, what's her name? I couldn't even see her half of the time. Boy, I sure thought I was done for that time the ball hit me. I kept seeing stars all over. Oh, thatis nothing. Why, one time-say-are you going up? Wait a second till I comb my hair and l'll be right with you. 650ut99 sa GL A. L. '32. -45..
