winning streak by defeating them 36-22 in a non-league game. The team also took Holmes-Liberty in its stride 34-16. Coach Albert Turner's hopes of an undefeated season were shattered as Sulphur lost to Chatfield before a capacity crowd. Sulphur won the remaining games of the league season by defeating Mt. Zion, Tiro, Whetstone, North Robinson, and New Washington. Then, defending our champ- ionship, we won the opening round of the county tournament by defeating Leesville 33- 18. The boys regained their early season form by walloping New Washington to gain the right to play in the finals against Mt. Zion. In the finals Sulphur successfully de- fended its championship by defeating the smooth passing Mt. Zion team 34-26. The following week a hopeful band of Sulphurites went to Carey to take the first game of the district tournament from Butler 26-9. The next night we returned to Carey to meet the Marseilles team who were the pre-tournament favorites. We won 50-41. We had tough luck on shots and got a taste of how it feels when the ball just won't go through the hoops. The final score was 26-23 in Bettsville's favor. Sulphur ended its season in fine style as it won the consolation finals from Rawson to take third place in the district tournament. The final score was 40-30. Howard fFlashJ Pfleiderer, at guard, climaxed four years on the varsity team with his greatest season. Whenever we needed points he got 'em. Warren tHenJ Hendrickson, at the other guard, although he didn't do much scor- ing, was always in there fighting and retrieving the ball. He is a sophomore. Richard tBeetlel Schulze, at center position, developed into a. high scorer as well as one of the best guards in the county. For these activities he was chosen honorary captain. This is his last year. Paul tWillieJ Baker, at the forward, was laid up most of last season but he came back this season better than ever. He is a good passer and is also a high point man. He has one more year. Carl tPeanutsJ Wagner, at forward, did not do much scoring but he made up for this by his never-failing pass work. He was always in there fighting a good clean game. He always made a long shot when needed worst. This is his last year. Philip fPercyJ Cooper, at forward, was a dead shot as well as a good passer. All he needs is more experience. He is a sophomore. Albert Turner, the coach, deserves much credit for developing a winning team. He is always ready to help the players develop some point in which they are weak and is ready to pat them on the back when the fault is overcome. Loren tWestJ Walker and Donald fFatJ Brown, the managers, also deserve much credit for keeping the equipment straight and keeping the team in good spirits by their wit. Jeanne Pfieiderer and Helen Shuck, cheerleaders, were always there when the team was on the verge of giving up to let them know that the school was still behind them. THE BASEBALL TEAM This year-'s team was a very good defensive team but a weak offensive one. In very few of the games were there very big scores scored against Sulphur. The team is composed of Crabaugh, catcher, Pfleiderer, pitcher, Cooper and Durigg, first basemen, Wagner, second baseman, Baker, short stop, Keiter, third baseman, Schulze, left field, Bevier, center field, Staulier, right field, Kafer, Redman, Frank, utility men.
