SCALP OF PUEBt0 CANS


South Canon closed it's basket ball
season at the Y. NJ. CA gymnasium
Friday night BY defeating the fast
team Of the Centennial High school
of Pueblo by score Of thirty-six to
fifteen. The game was fast and furi-
Gus and was characterized by much
rough playing in spots. but there were
no serious injuries. despite the bloody
looking floor.
The other game with Centennial
was played at Pueblo. where South
Canon lost by score of twenty-six
to twenty-nine. However all of the
Pueblo newspapers gave the game to
South Canon and the result of the
second contest Friday night shows
that it is the superior team. On the
basis of games won and points scored
South Canon is entitled to claim the
Championship OF Central Colorado.
the only other team having claim to
the title. having declined positively
to play them.
The game was refereed by Prof.
Harris, and he had a most difficult
task; but he made his decisions In his
usual clean, clear gut manner. and too
much praise cannot be given him for
his splendid work. Prof. Harris was
ably assisted by Mr. Maxwell of the
Y. NJ. C. A.
Centennial was out to get South
Canon. and the score shows how well
they succeeded.
South Canon has two guards OF
which it may well be proud-Jeffer-
son and Jones; in the second half
these players held the crack first
team forwards OF Centennial to no
goals, the only points scored being
on fouls. The South Canon guards
were playing the game Of their lives
last night, and the way they stopped
the furious attempts OF the Centen-
nial forwards to score was a reyela-
ton; not for single instant did they
relax, but covered the floor with a
speed that seemed imro6sible: they
are directly responsible for the low
score Centennial was abIe 10 run up.
Mckinley at forward played good
clean game. but game that was furi-
GUS. He was able to leave his guard at
will and but for the fact that the
whole Pueblo team usually piled on
him, he would have scored many
more baskets. This was his last
game for South Canon and he gave
the old school everything he had.

Canon, and he performed in wonder
full style, his defense work being no
less wonderful than that OF the South
Canon guards. and his shooting was
of the deadlies sort. He scored bas-

impossible angles, at short range.

This game closed one of the most
successful seasons South Canon has
ever had. 1t is the first time they
have beaten Centennial since 1909.
