South High romped all over Platts-

ming. Coach Patton's fast string of
crack all-rounders piled up total of
thirty-three baskets and allowed but
three by their opponents. From the
start the Souths had the jump on the
visitors and showed unexcelled abil-
ity at shooting baskets.
All but one Of the players who went
in against the down-river lads had
never played basket ball before this
season. The Packer coach was con-
siderably surprised at the excellent
passing, team work and basket shoot
ing. 1t looked like the South school
would amount to a little more than
usual this year.
The brilliant generalsllip of Lyman
Corr, captain of the Packers, was in
a good way responsible for the over
whelming score. Coach Patton shifted
Hedgreen, sub center, and Graham,
forward, t. the pivot position, trying
out both men. Both combinations
worked well.
