I nearly fell 1nto the pit when I saw that the dare-devil rider who was gust com- pleting her ride up the side of the silo was th t ever venturesome girl, Eunice Gehring. Because it would have been late when she finished her act, we decided it would be better if we didn't wait to see her. W . D V. . ,, ..A ,J A A - V A J . . Q I .4 ,- . 5. . . . . 9 . . .

Their main handicaps this year were their slowness and Une fact that they had a few shorties. Also, about mid-year they lost one of their starting line-up guards, Donna Doan, who had broken her leg. The starting line-up this year usually consisted of: Forwards Guards Eunice Gehring Karolin Falb Marilyn Falb Marlys Nenger Lorraine Miller Verla Benson Substitutes who saw some action were forwards Alice Grimm, Bonita Gruver, and Betty Larson, guards Grace Gehring, Jean Little, Shirley Page and Ardis Butikofer GIRLS' RECORD S Nov an an Feb McGregor Stanley Clermont Garnavillo Hawkeye McGregor Garnavillo Arlington Hawkeye Clermont Stanley Arlington here here there here here there here there here here there COUNTY TOUQNAMLNTS Waucoma Monona there The girls scored 376 points to their opponents 6112 points and made 391 of their free throws Q X2 Qlifffxpb S - X' we Th . 19 '25 H5 23 31 h9 Dec. 7 29 his 10 ' 21 Sl 17 15 147 30 29 60 J . ll ' 25 67 lb ' 31 33 Feb. 11 Arlington here 19 2h ll 31 63 15 27 111 17 36 I-1,-1 J . 19 ' 33 35 SECTIONAL TOHRNAMENTS . 2 27 61 iv 'Me 7mm X530 if xxx' x x Oc G 19 ay 19 X19 9 N X39 XXX- O C 5 D O' QY DQOK' ex-7 I J 9 P vdw My dx YC' NC Gordon Pollock 6 3 waz .139 19 Off 5 X- QQ, I'd us+ as sodw droo tHPm own lnto the basket ,I Quo b Qal QQ3 00 55 O Q0 92 659 C V99 5032039 if 6E?E0se fl f F 65 qiggijxxkxv tgkggglwuflfiigggggi McGregor here Stanley her Fayette there Maynard there Clermont there Garnav1llo here Hawke ye here McGregor there Postv1lle there County Tournament Maynard Fayette Clermont West Un1on .llgsssmih Z' S Regular Season Play hey Maynard Garnav1l1o Arllngton Arl1ngton Fayette Hawkeye Clermont Stanley Sect1ona1s Stanley Arl1ngton Aurora T ey here here there here here th re here there The l9h8 h9 basketball season of 19 v1ctor1es and 5 losses was one of the most successful seasons enqoyed by w1F1U 1U many years The regular season play w1n loss column showed lb w1ns a a1nst 3 defeats,and Elgln advanced to the f1nal round 1n the county tournaments for the f1rst t1me 1n 22 years The Panthers w re nosed out of the f1nal round of the county tournament by West Un1on who beat then 31 26 lg1n had a very cold n1ght and cou1dn't get any of the1r shots to drop 1nto the basket Although they played a good passlng game and d1d a good qob of rebound1ng under both boards, they couldn't get the polnts needed to sew up the game Bob Hanson, guard, who made 13 po1nts, was the only member of the team who could h1t In order to ga1n the f1na1 round of the tournament, Elg1n f1TSt had to defeat the favorltes, Maynard, who had beat West Un1on by 7 po1nts the PFSVIUUS week They accomp11shed th1s by a score of 38 2h The next foe was Fayette who dropped a 35 13 deC1S1OH to the Panthers And in the Seml f1H81S a scrappy Clermont crew bowed out In regular season play the first game of the season sweetest victory An undefeated team from McGregor came slow start, Elg1n came back 1n the second half and nosed A freshman, WJaken Howard, played an 1mportant part 37 28 vas probably the to Flgin and, after a out a one polnt vmctory 1n our thr1ll1nv 22 21 vlctory over Garnav11lo nJake', who was subst1tut1ng for an 111 player that n1ght, calmly steoaed to the free throw lane and, w1th the score t1ed at 21 all and only f1fteen seconds le t to play 1n the game, dropped 1n the w1nn1ng basket Another close encounter was w1th Maynard of the Upoer Iowa Conference who was defeated by the Panthers three t1mes dur1ng the season The team had to come Q XT?
