n.,eats Pullman by One Point in
Final Game of lnterscholastic
Tournament


COR Lewis and Clark High School of
cnokane the Inland Empire cham
n,onship basket ball cup and fitting
- ended the second annual basket
hall tournament here. The tourna-
mont was decided success from
every standpoint.
The tournament opened Friday
afternoon at $3.50 with a game be-
tween Cashmere and Walla Walla
tha latter winning easily, 1916. The
Ualla Walla team was one of the
,brae best teams in the tournament
and outclassed Cashmere, fast lit
lie team but possessing less science
and team work than Walla Walla.
Kuelbs and Estabrook played nice
game for the losers, but Bolts and
Cutler, forwards, and Copeland and
Youdovitch, guards, were far
superior. All five Walla Walla men
made field goals.
Latah won from Toppenish in the
second contest of the afternoon in a
nerve wracking game which was won
by field goal made in the last 80
seconds of an extra five minutes
play. The score was tied at the end
of the game, so five more minutes
were allowed and the final score was
1924 in favor of the Latah team.
Ward of Toppenish was the particu-
lar star of the game and made II
of his teams "a points. Sheppard
of Latah was his equal, however, IN
point winning, but was not as good
a floor worker and had not the
physique of the Toppenish center.
Toppenish was picked as best loser,
however, so that game did not elm
mate either team.
Friday evening Davenport elimin-
ated Gle Elum 2S-16 in handy
fashion. Thomas did some great
work at forward for Davenport and
made half his teams points. Gle
Elum had an average team, but was
no match for Davenport's faster m ZEN.
The same story might he told Of
the Lewis and Clark-Colville mix,
which ended 34-3 for the metropol-
itans. Lafayette of Spokane worked
nicely in this game, as did also
Woodward, Rudberg and Orian. All
four men showed real class, and the
wise ones Immediately admitted that
they had a chance for the honors.
Pullman High School, admittedly
one Of the strongest in the state,
whetted their appetite on Johnson,
giving them the short end of 32-13
score. A. Myers made all but two of
Johnson's points, mostly on fouls.
Fourteen fouls were called on Pull
man, Glover being the chief offender,
and had it not been for this, the
Johnson score would have been much
smalled. The team work of the Pull
man team was great, and there was
little dispute but that the real race
lay between Walla Walla, Spokane,
and the local high school.
In the semifinals Saturday morn
Ing Davenport nosed out Latah by
one point in game that was rather
ragged and in which both teams
showed the effect of the games Of
the night before. The two teams
played a different style altogether,
davenport using team work while
Latah had but one scoring man and
that their center.
Pullman, still going at the terrific
pace they had started the night be-
lore, cleaned up Toppenish, who was
handicapped by the disability Of
Robbins, star guard, who played
the entire game with water on the
knee. Price annexed 16 and Moss
II or their teams 80 points, and
paced themselves in line for all-star
nonors. Ward was still the mainstay
OF the Toppenish five, and played a
great individual game. Again Pull
man presented their opponents with
points by fouling. and 10 points
were made by this means, with
chances for seven more.
Walla Walla and Spokane finished
the semi-finals with the fastest and
easiest game that had been played,
"aHa Walla taking it 1921 Lewis
anu CLARK was undoubtedly not going
lleht vet and time after time put the
Dall almost but not quite into the
basket. They had more chances for
shots and their floor work was good,
out they didn't quite have the punch
necessary to nut the ball squarely
INTO the basket. The showing of the
Team was so good, however, that
tney were the unanimous choice as
me best losers in spite of TIC lilo
S'ore hung up by Latah.
Inc same four men on each team
were especially good, but Orion and
Lafayette for Spokane and Youdo-
