We played that old town from away down there in the sticks. I think Wiiidsor was the name of it. Did you ever here of it before? They may bee from the sticks but say theys ,got some basketball team. They almost beet us'ns up herer. When the game ended the score wuz tied 22 to 22. They had to play three minutes longer then and us Tigeurs beet them guys 26 to 25. I sure wished you could have saw this game. There never will be another one like it hear. ' . ABIE. Dec. 19, 1929. Dear Sis: Well, sis, heres a game I don't like to talk about. Those darn old fellows that use to play basketball up here came hear and beet us Tigers 36 to 15. They shouldn't expect us Tigers to beet those big guys. They wuz a hole lot biggern we wuz. They jist shot tha ball and it went inn. I don't see how they did it but they did and thats that. ' . ABIE. P. S.-Don't tell any one about this game. I want everybody to think that We is jist as good as those big boys that use to go here. Jan. 3, 1930 Dear Paw: Those dog gone Tigers didn't start the new year like I wanted them to. They Went over too Odessa Friday and them boys over there beet them. But it wuzn't theire fault. That little boy they had on there team wuz a humdinger. He could shut his eyes and shoot and that old ball would go in. That score wuz close all during the game and at the end them crazy guys had to get a couple more baskets and they won. ABIE. Thursday Nite. Dear Paw and Maw: Say, you've heerrd of them old Colts that go over to the Training School? Well We played them tonight and what do you think? Us Tigers just clawed them Colts U0 pieces. At the half they had 6 and We'ens had 7. Did.n't look so good, did it? Well, the reason wuz them Colts wuz so slow and they started playin' slow and us Tigers Weer used to playin fast and them old Colts helt the ball the biggest part of the time during the first half of the game and us Tigenrs never had a chance to score. But don't you think we didn't make them look sick the third quarter. We jist took that ball right away from them and when that whistle blew to tell us the game wuz over we had 23 and they jist 11. Say, they WUZ mad- I bet they C0l11d have jist kicked us to pieces. ABIE. P. S. Listen, maw, you jist tell anybody you Want to about this game, We don't care.

They found little opposition in any of the teams which were played, s Z, In the finals they were pitted against the Freshmen in a game that proved little Ng more than a work-out, the Juniors winning 33 to 5. Possibly the best game of the tournament was the Junior-Sophomore battle ev in which the Sophomores were defeated 16 to 6. This game allowed them to enter ' the finals against the Freshmen who had beaten the eighth grade 16 to 5, in their semi--final game. The eighth graders had previously beaten the seventh grade 15 3 to 6 in the first game. . The Seniors were dropped out in the iirst round by the mighty Junior aggre- . gation with a score of 15 to 2. The Seniors registered only once during the game, in this in a field goal by Dillon in the second half. The Juniors desefrve much credit for their showing in' the games. They were in superior in every department to the teams they played. Four Juniors were placed on the All-School team, Miller, Brown, Early, and 1-Iartness being named, while Edelen, a Sophomore, was the only outsider. Page Fifty-one
