Good Basket Ball Game

Something good is in store for the
basket ball fans Of Leavenworth this
winter. judging BY the game last Fri
day night. The bows romped over the
lWenatchee All-Stars to the tune Of
I22 to Is. 1t was slam bang game
from start to finish, with ten minute
breathing spell for the spectators be-
tween halves. The rest of the time
they were breathless at the speed and
teamwork the boys displayed in their
first game Of the season. m
Apparently Prof. Osborn will have a
team that can give a. good account OF
itself, with any high school team in the
county by mid-season. This was just
preliminary game in which to try out
some new material and timber up the
old. Anew phenom was discovered
in this game. Ed. Hoxsey, a young
freshman, played like yet in the first
half. He was replaced by Coach Os-
born in the second half. II the boy
keeps his head inside his cap he will
be first class before the season is over.
Joe Fitzpatrick, forward, played his
usual snappy game but will no doubt
improve from time to time. He has
lots OF speed and plenty OF scrap.
Mick" McNett, at center, topped his
m an at every toss-up and netted some
dandy good shots. Carl Anderson
the veteran Of the team, played good
game and scored some pretty baskets
from the field. Norman Nelson and
Harry Woldenberg, new material, both
showed up we'll and give promise OF
being valuable men. They worked
hard and played their men close while
they were allowed to play.
Several substitutions were made dur
ing the game. This was done to give all
the boys a good workout, and not
strain anyone, as they are not apt to be
in the best OF condition in the first
game.
McKittrick, Of Wenatchee, was the
star for the visitors and he copied off
some dandy baskets, tho followed close
lily. Smith and Marble were also shin
ing lights while the rest played an av-
erage game.
There was a fairly good crowd and
its a cinch that every one who saw
the game will see the next one and
bring his friends. High school ath-
letics should be supported by any
town, and especially this one, consid-
ering the material we have to support.
If they boys caps don't get too small
for them because of this victory we
can look for some hot games this win
ter.
