FIRST STRING WINS
TILT;!
Hurrah for the Blues!
Meaning the Seward high school
girls basketball team for even with
the additional help of two male ex
ponents of this popular indoor sport,
the second string, the Reds, failed to
come within striking distance of the
first stringers. The game ended with
the Blues having 12 points to their
credit whilst the Reds garnered G.
The fans got an awful kick out of
the game for many peculiarly laugha
ble incidents took place. The refer
eeing of Keu Ackley proved to be one
of the high lights of the evening. At
times Ken was hard put to keep out
of the game himself for the girls,'
every so often, would toss the ball at ^
him. Then again he was quite active i
in picking the fair sex off the floor. |
Sam Estes and Edwin Sandbeck, |
■
the dark horses in the second string,
seemed to be afraid to get in and
mix, though at times they seemed to
snap out of their days and perform
cleverly. Here is a couple of good boys
in the making.
A couple of times Edwin almost ruin
ed the band due to his peculiar habit
of tossing the ball clear over the goal
boards into the laps of the musicians
in the band-stand.
Bert made three field shots, Elsa
two, Cecil one; Gene, of the Reds, an
nexed four points for her teammates
making two baskets. One of these
was the most spectacular of the game.
Emerging from a scrimmage she
darted down the entire length of j
the fioor, dribbling thp ball, to posi
tion under the basket for a perfect
shot. Betty on a pretty short shot
gained the other two poinfs made by
the Reds.
STAR MISSED GAME
Wilma Harrison, ill for the past
few days, must have had the blues
l?sr night, even though she wasn’t in
the Blue basketball lineup last night,
on account of having missed the
game. It is hoped by her fellow’ stu
dents and friends that she will be
able to be in the lineup against the
College girls.
