Jim Farrah crouches for the big leap against the Owens Valley center. The other guy seems to have the advantage as far as height is concerned, but we have confidence. IS Who knows where it will land? Stan Filler is outnumbered by Victor Valley Bees in this tus- sle to take the rebound. Frank Picon Qnumber 323 would like to help, but he's too far away. Will he make it? We'll never know: everyone will have an opinion to offer though. Jim Comp- ton's try for two more points holds number 17 spellbound in the Moja- ve-Trona game. A fancy trick if you can do it. Glenn Stevens outjumps and outstretches a taller opponent. In the background ever-ready Jackie Russell crouches in sympathy with Glenn's effort.

Two practice games with Randsburg proved successful for the C's. They won both games, by scores of 27-15 and 34- 25. The game with Mojave, the last before Christmas vacation, was played and won on our home court, 22-19. The C's took their first game in the Lone Pine Tournament by a score of 33-28 over Bishop. The next day the very exciting play-off game between Trona and Lone Pine was lost by one point, 36-35. Tuesday the C's traveled to Victor- ville to take a league loss of 27-40 but bounced back the following weekend to win a very exciting, close game at Owens Valley, 35-32. The trip to Lone Pine was unsuccess- ful from the C's point of view as they lost 22-38, and then Bishop came to Trona the next day to defeat the C's, 32-17. Cn Jan. 29 Mojave traveled to Trona to edge the C's out in a close. fast game by 1 point The final score: 26-25.

The next day the team played a good game at Barstow, yet lost by a small margin, the final score being Barstow 36, Trona 32. In the last games Owens Valley's C's downed Trona on Trona's home court by 10 points, making the score 32-22, while a trip to Edwards Air Force Base did not pay off for the C's as the final score was Mojave 21, Trona 13. The final season tally stood at six wins and ten losses. Four of those losses were by a one to four point margin, so the season could rightfully be termed a successful one for the C team.
