On Thanksgiving morning the
Deming High School Basket Ball
team, accompanied by quite a
crowd Of good rooters, went to Sill
yer City to meet the New Mexico
Normal School Basket Ball team.
Well, we came. we saw, they con-
quered.
We have only two excuses to Of
fer. The inexperience Of our team
and the high altitude which told on
our girls greatly towards the end of
Il
the game. The Silver girls are
certainly to be praised for their fast
team. We are are not at all dis
couraged but rather encouraged and
feel that with a month or two of
good practice and hard work, we
can show them what Deming really
can do.
After the fact thai the Silver
City girls boosted that they would
win by a score Of about 20 to 0, we
feel proud of the score to 10.
Notwithstanding the size of their
girls and the fact that they were
a more experienced team, we tied
them twice in the first half. The
first half was half over before we
allowed them to score at all, then
we followed them closely, the score
at the end of the first half, being 4
to 5 in their favor. There isn't
much to say about the second half,
except, that they gained five points
while we gained but one.
The High School boys certainly
did show the Tigers a surprise.
when they played all around them,
Thanksgiving at the ball park. The
final score was 0 to 0; but that does
not tell of the playing Of the High
School boys. The Deming Tigers
outweighed the High School boys
nearly twenty pounds to the man,
but certainly did lack the practice
and speed of the High School boys.
The ball was in the Tigers territory
most all the game. The nearest the
Tigers had the ball to the High
Schools goal was 10 yards, while the
High School had the ball on the "a
yard line, and would have scored a
touchdown If Cooper had not been
penalized Is yards for sho wing.
Long tried Ave attempts for field
goal; but on the account Of the soft
ness Of the ball. his attempts were
unsuccessful. Carter had only one
chance for the Tigers and he missed
that by Is feet. Sam Watkins
played the star game for the Tigers;
while for the High School everyone
put up an unusually good game.
Standing above everything was
James Winters wonderful tackle of
Rodolf. who had secured the ball on
the Tigers 80 yard line and dashed
down the field with Winters close on
his heels. James got him on the
High School five yard line, with one
of the finest tackles made on the
Deming field.
