Varsity Is Hard Luck Team: finishes Season in Third Tranauillity's varsity was truly a hard luck team. They lost some close games and ended the season with 8 wins and lO losses. The mark, however, does not tell the whole story, as the Tigers gave every team they played a rough game. Some of the high-lights of the year were a lopsided win over the teachers, taking third place in league standings atter being in last place the year before, and placing fourth at the Dos Palos basketball tournament. One ot the teams noted characteristics was that it would play rough and tumble basketball for three periods, then play great the last quarter, and rack up easy wins going away. The Tigers bewildered Laton ltwicel, Caruthers, and Parlier with their last quarter spurts. ln the first game against Caruthers, however, they had to go all the way to win by one point.
