Libby Coming

Last Saturday night, the Boomers
Ferry high school basketball team
opened the season on the home
floor by administering a severe
drubbing to the strong Standpoint
team in clean, fast game by score
of IS to 13. Over $50 enthusiastic
fans gathered to see the teams
play and they were not disappoint-
ed in the least as the game proved
to be one of the best that has ever
been played on the local floor. 1t
was not marred by any rough play
ing and as a result both teams
played the entire game without
time being called for substitutions.
The members of both teams
played excellent ball and it would
be hard to pick the stars in such
a contest; however Bangs, the
running guard for Boomers, seemed
to perform better than the average
considering the position he played.
The first half of the game was
more closely contested than the
second Boomers Ferry having a
shade the advantage in basket
shooting but being outplayed in
passing. The half ended Is to 9.
In the second half the local team,
with point lead, started series
of we'll executed plays and in less
than FIVE minutes had piled up
eight points thus putting a damper
on the chances of a Standpoint
victory. The last half of the game
was decidedly in favor of the local
boys. Score second half 20 to a.
Probably the most spectacular
feature of the game was the ex-
cellent playing of Bangs, who
made eight field goals or more than
enough to beat the entire Standpoint
team and yet his forward secured
only 8 baskets. The change in
style of play seemed to battle the
visiting team and not until too late
in the game did they use guard
to prevent his further scoring.
Claude O'Callaghan, at safety
guard, played as usual steady
game and kept the speedy Marin
eau from making but lone basket.
Kent and Campbell, the forwards,
. played we'll together securing 8
, field goals and with the assistance
of Heathershaw, the stocky center,
kept the ball in Boomers territory
territory most of the time. The
latter defensive work was unusu-
ally good.
After reading an account of last
weeks game at Standpoint, those
present expected a much closer
game but the Boomers Ferry team
came back and upset the dope by
winning easily from their old time
rivals. With the championship
title at stake the locals braced up
and played rings around Standpoint
In the second frame neither team
let up in their playing but fought
: gamely to the end. The victory
is sweet revenge and gives the
: locals another chance to either win
: or lose the championship. The
next game will be played after the
holidays, no definite date having
been announced.
Well, the game is over, and we
were victorious, but right here let
S us not forget that, although the boys
played and won, and are entitled
to the prompt and full enjoyment
of victory much credit is due the
citizens of Boomers Ferry for their
e loyal support of the team and also
s to Clare Yahne, the peppery yell.
