B BASKETBALL - Although this was the first season of basketball ever played at Te- hachapi High School, a remarkable success was enjoyed. We finished up by winning five out of ten games played, a very creditable showing considering the fact that we were a green team, and that all of our op- ponents were experienced men. Our first game with the local athletic club composed of experienced basketballers, proved a real upset to the athletics, who expected to win by a large margin. They were defeated 11 to 6 in a fast, close guarding game. Woody Farrar, our flashy center, featured with long shots from the center of the floor. Perhaps the most exciting game of the season was at Lone Pine, where we took them for a 10 to 9 win after two extra sessions. It was a close game and had the crowd on its feet from start to finish. Zip Cas? tillo proved a hero when, in regular movie style, he sunk a foul basket after the end of the second extra period. This broke the tie and gave the Lone' Pine followers a chance to rest their lungs, for our rooters did all the yell-A ing after that. In the second game with Lone Pine we defeated them again by one point in another thrilling game. Our first defeat came at the hands of the Associated Oil five from' Bakersfield, a team composed of ex--college stars, and although the second half was all in our favor, we were unable to reach the score they had rung' up in the first half. Both games with Lancaster were close, Lancaster winning on our' court, while we retaliated by nosing them out 21 to 20 on their grounds.. Shafter proved a tartar, but we gave them a close battle, especially in' the second game, holding them down to 8 points. At half time the scoref was 2 to 1 in our favor. Zip Castillo was our most consistent player, accounting for a good share of the points. Close behind him were Jose Narez and Woodrow Farrar, who both have had a good eye for the basket. Joe Errea and Bob- McDaniel, a standing and running guard, respectively, accounted for the- close games by their fine defensive work. Martin Errecart was late in starting but came around fast at the end. FORTIY-EIGHT
